Btrfs: fix race between device replace and discard
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
While we are finishing a device replace operation, we can make a discard
operation (fs mounted with -o discard) do an invalid memory access like
the one reported by the following trace:

This happens because when we call btrfs_map_block() from
btrfs_discard_extent() to get a btrfs_bio structure, the device replace
operation has not finished yet, but before we use the device of one of the
stripes from the returned btrfs_bio structure, the device object is freed.

This is illustrated by the following diagram.

         extent map that has a stripe pointing to
         the source device, it updates the stripe
         to point to the target device instead

   btrfs_rm_dev_replace_blocked()

   btrfs_rm_dev_replace_remove_srcdev()

                                                                        --> it ends up finding a
                                                                            pointer to the device
                                                                            used as the source
                                                                            device for the replace
                                                                            operation and that was
                                                                            already freed

So fix this by surrounding the call to btrfs_map_block(), and the code
that uses the returned struct btrfs_bio, with calls to
btrfs_bio_counter_inc_blocked() and btrfs_bio_counter_dec(), so that
the finishing phase of the device replace operation blocks until the
the bio counter decreases to zero before it frees the source device.
This is the same approach we do at btrfs_map_bio() for example.
