Btrfs: fix race between caching kthread and returning inode to inode cache
While the inode cache caching kthread is calling btrfs_unpin_free_ino(), we could have a concurrent call to btrfs_return_ino() that adds a new entry to the root's free space cache of pinned inodes. This concurrent call does not acquire the fs_info->commit_root_sem before adding a new entry if the caching state is BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED, which is a problem because the caching kthread calls btrfs_unpin_free_ino() after setting the caching state to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED and therefore races with the task calling btrfs_return_ino(), which is adding a new entry, while the former (caching kthread) is navigating the cache's rbtree, removing and freeing nodes from the cache's rbtree without acquiring the spinlock that protects the rbtree. This race resulted in memory corruption due to double free of struct btrfs_free_space objects because both tasks can end up doing freeing the same objects. Note that adding a new entry can result in merging it with other entries in the cache, in which case those entries are freed. This is particularly important as btrfs_free_space structures are also used for the block group free space caches. This memory corruption can be detected by a debugging kernel, which reports it with the following trace: [132408.501148] slab error in verify_redzone_free(): cache `btrfs_free_space': double free detected [132408.505075] CPU: 15 PID: 12248 Comm: btrfs-ino-cache Tainted: G W 4.1.0-rc5-btrfs-next-10+ #1 [132408.505075] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.8.1-0-g4adadbd-20150316_085822-nilsson.home.kraxel.org 04/01/2014 [132408.505075] ffff880023e7d320 ffff880163d73cd8 ffffffff8145eec7 ffffffff81095dce [132408.505075] ffff880009735d40 ffff880163d73ce8 ffffffff81154e1e ffff880163d73d68 [132408.505075] ffffffff81155733 ffffffffa054a95a ffff8801b6099f00 ffffffffa0505b5f [132408.505075] Call Trace: [132408.505075] [<ffffffff8145eec7>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7b [132408.505075] [<ffffffff81095dce>] ? console_unlock+0x356/0x3a2 [132408.505075] [<ffffffff81154e1e>] __slab_error.isra.28+0x25/0x36 [132408.505075] [<ffffffff81155733>] __cache_free+0xe2/0x4b6 [132408.505075] [<ffffffffa054a95a>] ? __btrfs_add_free_space+0x2f0/0x343 [btrfs] [132408.505075] [<ffffffffa0505b5f>] ? btrfs_unpin_free_ino+0x8e/0x99 [btrfs] [132408.505075] [<ffffffff810f3b30>] ? time_hardirqs_off+0x15/0x28 [132408.505075] [<ffffffff81084d42>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0xf [132408.505075] [<ffffffff811563a1>] ? kfree+0xb6/0x14e [132408.505075] [<ffffffff811563d0>] kfree+0xe5/0x14e [132408.505075] [<ffffffffa0505b5f>] btrfs_unpin_free_ino+0x8e/0x99 [btrfs] [132408.505075] [<ffffffffa0505e08>] caching_kthread+0x29e/0x2d9 [btrfs] [132408.505075] [<ffffffffa0505b6a>] ? btrfs_unpin_free_ino+0x99/0x99 [btrfs] [132408.505075] [<ffffffff8106698f>] kthread+0xef/0xf7 [132408.505075] [<ffffffff810f3b08>] ? time_hardirqs_on+0x15/0x28 [132408.505075] [<ffffffff810668a0>] ? __kthread_parkme+0xad/0xad [132408.505075] [<ffffffff814653d2>] ret_from_fork+0x42/0x70 [132408.505075] [<ffffffff810668a0>] ? __kthread_parkme+0xad/0xad [132408.505075] ffff880023e7d320: redzone 1:0x9f911029d74e35b, redzone 2:0x9f911029d74e35b.
