From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e732fe95e4cad35fc1df278c23a32903341b08b3 ] Currently, reada_start_machine_worker() frees the reada_machine_work and then calls __reada_start_machine() to do readahead. This is another potential instance of the bug in "btrfs: don't prematurely free work in run_ordered_work()". There _might_ already be a deadlock here: reada_start_machine_worker() can depend on itself through stacked filesystems (__read_start_machine() -> reada_start_machine_dev() -> reada_tree_block_flagged() -> read_extent_buffer_pages() -> submit_one_bio() -> btree_submit_bio_hook() -> btrfs_map_bio() -> submit_stripe_bio() -> submit_bio() onto a loop device can trigger readahead on the lower filesystem). Either way, let's fix it by freeing the work at the end.
