btrfs: subpage: fix a potential use-after-free in writeback helper
[BUG] There is a possible use-after-free bug when running generic/095. BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on write at 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b725b Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000283654 c000000000283078 do_raw_spin_unlock+0x88/0x230 c0000000012b1e14 _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x44/0x90 c000000000a918dc btrfs_subpage_clear_writeback+0xac/0xe0 c0000000009e0458 end_bio_extent_writepage+0x158/0x270 c000000000b6fd14 bio_endio+0x254/0x270 c0000000009fc0f0 btrfs_end_bio+0x1a0/0x200 c000000000b6fd14 bio_endio+0x254/0x270 c000000000b781fc blk_update_request+0x46c/0x670 c000000000b8b394 blk_mq_end_request+0x34/0x1d0 c000000000d82d1c lo_complete_rq+0x11c/0x140 c000000000b880a4 blk_complete_reqs+0x84/0xb0 c0000000012b2ca4 __do_softirq+0x334/0x680 c0000000001dd878 irq_exit+0x148/0x1d0 c000000000016f4c do_IRQ+0x20c/0x240 c000000000009240 hardware_interrupt_common_virt+0x1b0/0x1c0 [CAUSE] There is very small race window like the following in generic/095. Thread 1 | Thread 2 --------------------------------+------------------------------------ end_bio_extent_writepage() | btrfs_releasepage() |- spin_lock_irqsave() | | |- end_page_writeback() | | | | |- if (PageWriteback() ||...) | | |- clear_page_extent_mapped() | | |- kfree(subpage); |- spin_unlock_irqrestore(). The race can also happen between writeback and btrfs_invalidatepage(), although that would be much harder as btrfs_invalidatepage() has much more work to do before the clear_page_extent_mapped() call. [FIX] Here we "wait" for the subapge spinlock to be released before we detach subpage structure. So this patch will introduce a new function, wait_subpage_spinlock(), to do the "wait" by acquiring the spinlock and release it. Since the caller has ensured the page is not dirty nor writeback, and page is already locked, the only way to hold the subpage spinlock is from endio function. Thus we only need to acquire the spinlock to wait for any existing holder.
