From 06989c799f04810f6876900d4760c0edda369cf7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana Date: Wed, 15 May 2019 16:03:17 +0100 Subject: Btrfs: fix race updating log root item during fsync When syncing the log, the final phase of a fsync operation, we need to either create a log root's item or update the existing item in the log tree of log roots, and that depends on the current value of the log root's log_transid - if it's 1 we need to create the log root item, otherwise it must exist already and we update it. Since there is no synchronization between updating the log_transid and checking it for deciding whether the log root's item needs to be created or updated, we end up with a tiny race window that results in attempts to update the item to fail because the item was not yet created: CPU 1 CPU 2 btrfs_sync_log() lock root->log_mutex set log root's log_transid to 1 unlock root->log_mutex btrfs_sync_log() lock root->log_mutex sets log root's log_transid to 2 unlock root->log_mutex update_log_root() sees log root's log_transid with a value of 2 calls btrfs_update_root(), which fails with -EUCLEAN and causes transaction abort Until recently the race lead to a BUG_ON at btrfs_update_root(), but after the recent commit 7ac1e464c4d47 ("btrfs: Don't panic when we can't find a root key") we just abort the current transaction.
