From 5ca64f45e92dc52bd3bc1ad93f4f9e5a57955f28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Sandoval Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 02:47:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix race on ENOMEM in alloc_extent_buffer Consider the following interleaving of overlapping calls to alloc_extent_buffer: Call 1: - Successfully allocates a few pages with find_or_create_page - find_or_create_page fails, goto free_eb - Unlocks the allocated pages Call 2: - Calls find_or_create_page and gets a page in call 1's extent_buffer - Finds that the page is already associated with an extent_buffer - Grabs a reference to the half-written extent_buffer and calls mark_extent_buffer_accessed on it mark_extent_buffer_accessed will then try to call mark_page_accessed on a null page and panic. The fix is to decrement the reference count on the half-written extent_buffer before unlocking the pages so call 2 won't use it. We should also set exists = NULL in the case that we don't use exists to avoid accidentally returning a freed extent_buffer in an error case.
