[PATCH 1/4] fs: btrfs: fix a data race in btrfs_block_group_done()

[Jia-Ju Bai]

The functions btrfs_block_group_done() and caching_thread() are 
concurrently executed at runtime in the following call contexts:

Thread 1:
  btrfs_sync_file()
    start_ordered_ops()
      btrfs_fdatawrite_range()
        btrfs_writepages() [via function pointer]
          extent_writepages()
            extent_write_cache_pages()
              __extent_writepage()
                writepage_delalloc()
                  btrfs_run_delalloc_range()
                    cow_file_range()
                      btrfs_reserve_extent()
                        find_free_extent()
                          btrfs_block_group_done()

Thread 2:
  caching_thread()

In btrfs_block_group_done():
  smp_mb();
  return cache->cached == BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED ||
      cache->cached == BTRFS_CACHE_ERROR;

In caching_thread():
  spin_lock(&block_group->lock);
  block_group->caching_ctl = NULL;
  block_group->cached = ret ? BTRFS_CACHE_ERROR : BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED;
  spin_unlock(&block_group->lock);

The values cache->cached and block_group->cached access the same memory, 
and thus a data race can occur.
This data race was found and actually reproduced by our concurrency 
fuzzer.

To fix this race, the spinlock cache->lock is used to protect the 
access to cache->cached in btrfs_block_group_done().
