We always preallocate a data extent for writing a free space cache, which
causes writeback to always try the nocow path first, since the free space
inode has the prealloc bit set in its flags.
However if the block group that contains the data extent for the space
cache has been turned to RO mode due to a running scrub or balance for
example, we have to fallback to the cow path. In that case once a new data
extent is allocated we end up calling btrfs_add_reserved_bytes(), which
decrements the counter named bytes_may_use from the data space_info object
with the expection that this counter was previously incremented with the
same amount (the size of the data extent).
However when we started writeout of the space cache at cache_save_setup(),
we incremented the value of the bytes_may_use counter through a call to
btrfs_check_data_free_space() and then decremented it through a call to
btrfs_prealloc_file_range_trans() immediately after. So when starting the
writeback if we fallback to cow mode we have to increment the counter
bytes_may_use of the data space_info again to compensate for the extent
allocation done by the cow path.
When this issue happens we are incorrectly decrementing the bytes_may_use
counter and when its current value is smaller then the amount we try to
subtract we end up with the following warning:

So fix this by incrementing the bytes_may_use counter of the data
space_info when we fallback to the cow path. If the cow path is successful
the counter is decremented after extent allocation (by
btrfs_add_reserved_bytes()), if it fails it ends up being decremented as
well when clearing the delalloc range (extent_clear_unlock_delalloc()).
This could be triggered sporadically by the test case btrfs/061 from
fstests.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
