[PATCH] btrfs: transaction: Fix misplaced barrier in btrfs_record_root_in_trans

From: Baptiste Lepers
Date: Sun Sep 05 2021 - 21:36:45 EST


Per comment, record_root_in_trans orders the writes of the root->state
and root->last_trans:
set_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_IN_TRANS_SETUP, &root->state);
smp_wmb();
root->last_trans = trans->transid;

But the barrier that enforces the order on the read side is misplaced:
smp_rmb(); <-- misplaced
if (root->last_trans == trans->transid &&
<-- missing barrier here -->
!test_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_IN_TRANS_SETUP, &root->state))

This patches fixes the ordering and wraps the racy accesses with
READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE calls to avoid load/store tearing.
