Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix memory leak in reading btree blocks
Date: Wed,  3 Aug 2016 12:33:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470252781-9455-1-git-send-email-bo.li.liu@oracle.com> (raw)

So we can read a btree block via readahead or intentional read,
and we can end up with a memory leak when something happens as
follows,
1) readahead starts to read block A but does not wait for read
   completion,
2) btree_readpage_end_io_hook finds that block A is corrupted,
   and it needs to clear all block A's pages' uptodate bit.
3) meanwhile an intentional read kicks in and checks block A's
   pages' uptodate to decide which page needs to be read.
4) when some pages have the uptodate bit during 3)'s check so
   3) doesn't count them for eb->io_pages, but they are later
   cleared by 2) so we has to readpage on the page, we get
   the wrong eb->io_pages which results in a memory leak of
   this block.

This fixes the problem by firstly getting all pages's locking and
then checking pages' uptodate bit.
