    btrfs: fix refcount_t usage when deleting btrfs_delayed_nodes · ec35e48b
    Chris Mason 提交于
    refcounts have a generic implementation and an asm optimized one.  The
    generic version has extra debugging to make sure that once a refcount
    goes to zero, refcount_inc won't increase it.
    
    The btrfs delayed inode code wasn't expecting this, and we're tripping
    over the warnings when the generic refcounts are used.  We ended up with
    this race:
    
    Process A                                         Process B
                                                      btrfs_get_delayed_node()
    						  spin_lock(root->inode_lock)
    						  radix_tree_lookup()
    __btrfs_release_delayed_node()
    refcount_dec_and_test(&delayed_node->refs)
    our refcount is now zero
    						  refcount_add(2) <---
    						  warning here, refcount
                                                      unchanged
    
    spin_lock(root->inode_lock)
    radix_tree_delete()
    
    With the generic refcounts, we actually warn again when process B above
    tries to release his refcount because refcount_add() turned into a
    no-op.
    
    We saw this in production on older kernels without the asm optimized
    refcounts.
    
    The fix used here is to use refcount_inc_not_zero() to detect when the
    object is in the middle of being freed and return NULL.  This is almost
    always the right answer anyway, since we usually end up pitching the
    delayed_node if it didn't have fresh data in it.
    
    This also changes __btrfs_release_delayed_node() to remove the extra
    check for zero refcounts before radix tree deletion.
    btrfs_get_delayed_node() was the only path that was allowing refcounts
    to go from zero to one.
