--- Original email --- Hello, Nikolay discovered a regression with generic/371 with my delayed refs patches applied. This isn't actually a regression caused by those patches, but rather those patches uncovered a problem that has existed forever, we just have papered over it with our aggressive delayed ref flushing. Enter these two patches. The first patch is more of a refactoring and a simplification. We've been passing in a &old_refs and a &new_refs into the delayed ref code, and duplicating the if (old_refs >= 0 && new_refs < 0) ->total_bytes_pinned += bytes; else if (old_refs < 0 && new_refs >= 0) ->total_bytes_pinned -= bytes; logic for data and metadata. This was made even more confusing by the fact that we clean up this accounting when we drop the delayed ref, but also include it when we actually pin the extents down properly. It took me quite a while to realize that we weren't mis-counting ->total_bytes_pinned because of how weirdly complicated the accounting was. I've refactored this code to make the handling distinct. We modify it in the delayed refs code itself, which allows us to clean up a bunch of function arguments and duplicated code. It also unifies how we handle the delayed ref side of the ->total_bytes_pinned modification. Now it's a little easier to see who is responsible for the modification and where. The second patch is the actual fix for the problem. Previously we had simply been assuming that ->total_ref_mod < 0 meant that we were freeing stuff. However if we allocate and free in the same transaction, ->total_ref_mod == 0 also means we're freeing. Adding that case is what fixes the problem Nikolay was seeing.
