Subject: [PATCH 1/2] btrfs: fix racy access to discard_ctl data
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 16:22:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <36b18f2dcc56ff5553d700afa7b360572c8181f3.1606752605.git.asml.silence@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1606752605.git.asml.silence@gmail.com>

Because only one discard worker may be running at any given point, it
could have been safe to modify ->prev_discard, etc. without
synchronisation, if not for @override flag in
btrfs_discard_schedule_work() and delayed_work_pending() returning false
while workfn is running.

That may lead lead to torn reads of u64 for some architectures, but
that's not a big problem as only slightly affects the discard rate.
