This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Btrfs: fix missing delayed iputs on unmount to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: btrfs-fix-missing-delayed-iputs-on-unmount.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 901d9733a9d8500011a0b7d69f8d40ccf1f3d503 Author: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 31 10:06:08 2018 -0700 Btrfs: fix missing delayed iputs on unmount [ Upstream commit d6fd0ae25c6495674dc5a41a8d16bc8e0073276d ] There's a race between close_ctree() and cleaner_kthread(). close_ctree() sets btrfs_fs_closing(), and the cleaner stops when it sees it set, but this is racy; the cleaner might have already checked the bit and could be cleaning stuff. In particular, if it deletes unused block groups, it will create delayed iputs for the free space cache inodes. As of "btrfs: don't run delayed_iputs in commit", we're no longer running delayed iputs after a commit. Therefore, if the cleaner creates more delayed iputs after delayed iputs are run in btrfs_commit_super(), we will leak inodes on unmount and get a busy inode crash from the VFS. Fix it by parking the cleaner before we actually close anything. Then, any remaining delayed iputs will always be handled in btrfs_commit_super(). This also ensures that the commit in close_ctree() is really the last commit, so we can get rid of the commit in cleaner_kthread(). The fstest/generic/475 followed by 476 can trigger a crash that manifests as a slab corruption caused by accessing the freed kthread structure by a wake up function.
