From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> commit f2cb2f39ccc30fa13d3ac078d461031a63960e5b upstream. If we do a successful RWF_NOWAIT write we end up locking the snapshot lock of the inode, through a call to check_can_nocow(), but we never unlock it. This means the next attempt to create a snapshot on the subvolume will hang forever. Trivial reproducer: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ touch /mnt/foobar $ chattr +C /mnt/foobar $ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 64K" /mnt/foobar $ xfs_io -d -c "pwrite -N -V 1 -S 0xfe 0 64K" /mnt/foobar $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap --> hangs Fix this by unlocking the snapshot lock if check_can_nocow() returned success.
