[PATCH] btrfs: relocation: fix misplaced barrier in reloc_root_is_dead
Posted by Baptiste Lepers 2 years, 11 months ago
Fix a misplaced barrier in reloc_root_is_dead. The
BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit should be checked before accessing
reloc_root.

The fix forces the order documented in the original commit:
"In the cross section C-D, either caller gets the DEAD bit set, avoiding
access reloc_root no matter if it's safe or not.  Or caller get the DEAD
bit cleared, then access reloc_root, which is already NULL, nothing will
be wrong."

static bool reloc_root_is_dead()
    smp_rmb(); <--- misplaced
    if (test_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE, &root->state))
          return true;
    return false;
}

static bool have_reloc_root(struct btrfs_root *root)
{
       if (reloc_root_is_dead(root))
               return false;
       <--- the barrier should happen here
       if (!root->reloc_root)
               return false;
       return true;
}
