Although btrfs balance can be canceled with "btrfs balance cancel"
command, it's still almost muscle memory to press Ctrl-C to cancel a
long running btrfs balance.

So allow btrfs balance to check signal to determine if it should exit.

Thanks for investigating all of this.

Has it actually been unsafe (read: undefined behaviour) forever, or only
since some recent change?

Or did it just by accident not cause real damage earlier on in the past?

[ 1041.810963] BTRFS info (device xvdb): relocating block group
91423244288 flags metadata

<- ^C made it stop here

[ 1076.189766] BTRFS info (device xvdb): relocating block group
91423244288 flags metadata
[ 1081.300131] BTRFS info (device xvdb): found 6689 extents
[ 1081.311138] BTRFS info (device xvdb): relocating block group
90349502464 flags data
[ 1089.776066] BTRFS info (device xvdb): found 215 extents

The above is with 4.19.118. Now I'm trying this again and looking just a
little better at the logging, I see that what I thought (it always
stopped after doing 1 block group) is not true. With ^C I can make it
stop halfway and then next time it again starts at 91423244288.

Related question: should, additionally, the btrfs balance in progs also
be changed to catch the SIGINT while it's doing the balance ioctl, to
prevent the signal from leaking to the kernel space? I mean, kernels
with the bug are already 'out there' now...

Thanks

Forever.

That -EINTR from metadata reservation path is there for a long long time.

It has no way to catch signal while trapped into kernel space.

My previous assumption of the whole ioctl thing is still right, when
we're in kernel space, we can't catch any signal.

It's just the metadata reservation code manually checking the pending
signal and return -EINTR.

So even if we make btrfs-progs to catch that signal, it won't work.
And even if it seems to work, it's because in btrfs module we're
checking signal explicitly.

Thanks,
Qu
