From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> There is racy between capsnaps flush and removing the inode from 'mdsc->snap_flush_list' list: == Thread A == == Thread B == ceph_queue_cap_snap() -> allocate 'capsnapA' ->ihold('&ci->vfs_inode') ->add 'capsnapA' to 'ci->i_cap_snaps' ->add 'ci' to 'mdsc->snap_flush_list' ... == Thread C == ceph_flush_snaps() ->__ceph_flush_snaps() ->__send_flush_snap() handle_cap_flushsnap_ack() ->iput('&ci->vfs_inode') this also will release 'ci' ... == Thread D == ceph_handle_snap() ->flush_snaps() ->iterate 'mdsc->snap_flush_list' ->get the stale 'ci' ->remove 'ci' from ->ihold(&ci->vfs_inode) this 'mdsc->snap_flush_list' will WARNING To fix this we will increase the ihold the inode when adding 'ci' to the 'mdsc->snap_flush_list' list.
