Btrfs: fix race conditions in BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO ioctl
The handler for the ioctl BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO was reading the number of devices before acquiring the device list mutex. This could lead to inconsistent results because the update of the device list and the number of devices counter (amongst other counters related to the device list) are updated in volumes.c while holding the device list mutex - except for 2 places, one was volumes.c:btrfs_prepare_sprout() and the other was volumes.c:device_list_add(). For example, if we have 2 devices, with IDs 1 and 2 and then add a new device, with ID 3, and while adding the device is in progress an BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO ioctl arrives, it could return a number of devices of 2 and a max dev id of 3. This would be incorrect. Also, this ioctl handler was reading the fsid while it can be updated concurrently. This can happen when while a new device is being added and the current filesystem is in seeding mode. Example: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb1 $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2 $ btrfstune -S 1 /dev/sdb1 $ mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test $ btrfs device add /dev/sdb2 /mnt/test If during the last step a BTRFS_IOC_FS_INFO ioctl was requested, it could read an fsid that was never valid (some bits part of the old fsid and others part of the new fsid). Also, it could read a number of devices that doesn't match the number of devices in the list and the max device id, as explained before.
