Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix potential race in extent buffer freeing
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:21:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1342815664-9594-1-git-send-email-jbacik@fusionio.com> (raw)
This sounds sort of impossible but it is the only thing I can think of and
at the very least it is theoretically possible so here it goes.
If we are in try_release_extent_buffer we will check that the ref count on
the extent buffer is 1 and not under IO, and then go down and clear the tree
ref. If between this check and clearing the tree ref somebody else comes in
and grabs a ref on the eb and the marks it dirty before
try_release_extent_buffer() does it's tree ref clear we can end up with a
dirty eb that will be freed while it is still dirty which will result in a
panic. Thanks,
