There is a race condition generic_shutdown_super() and __btrfs_run_defrag_inode(). Consider the following scenario: umount thread: btrfs-cleaner thread: btrfs_run_delayed_iputs() ->run_delayed_iput_locked() ->iput(inode) // Here the inode (ie ino 261) will be cleared and freed btrfs_kill_super() ->generic_shutdown_super() btrfs_run_defrag_inodes() ->__btrfs_run_defrag_inode() ->btrfs_iget(ino) // The inode 261 was recreated with i_count=1 // and added to the sb list ->evict_inodes(sb) // After some work // inode 261 was added ->iput(inode) // to the dispose list ->iput_funal() ->evict(inode) ->evict(inode) Now, we have two threads simultaneously evicting the same inode, which led to a bug. The above behavior can be confirmed by the log I added for debugging and the log printed when BUG was triggered. Due to space limitations, I cannot paste the full diff and here is a brief describtion. First, within __btrfs_run_defrag_inode(), set inode->i_state |= (1<<19) just before calling iput(). Within the dispose_list(), check the flag, if the flag was set, then pr_info("bug! double evict! crash will happen! state is 0x%lx\n", inode->i_state); Here is the printed log when the BUG was triggered: [ 190.686726][ T2336] bug! double evict! crash will happen! state is 0x80020 [ 190.687647][ T2336] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 190.688294][ T2336] kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:626!
