[PATCH 4.19 22/73] Btrfs: fix race updating log root item during fsync

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

commit 06989c799f04810f6876900d4760c0edda369cf7 upstream.

When syncing the log, the final phase of a fsync operation, we need to
either create a log root's item or update the existing item in the log
tree of log roots, and that depends on the current value of the log
root's log_transid - if it's 1 we need to create the log root item,
otherwise it must exist already and we update it. Since there is no
synchronization between updating the log_transid and checking it for
deciding whether the log root's item needs to be created or updated, we
end up with a tiny race window that results in attempts to update the
item to fail because the item was not yet created:

              CPU 1                                    CPU 2

  btrfs_sync_log()

    lock root->log_mutex

    set log root's log_transid to 1

    unlock root->log_mutex

                                               btrfs_sync_log()

                                                 lock root->log_mutex

                                                 sets log root's
                                                 log_transid to 2

                                                 unlock root->log_mutex

    update_log_root()

      sees log root's log_transid
      with a value of 2

        calls btrfs_update_root(),
        which fails with -EUCLEAN
        and causes transaction abort

Until recently the race lead to a BUG_ON at btrfs_update_root(), but after
the recent commit 7ac1e464c4d47 ("btrfs: Don't panic when we can't find a
root key") we just abort the current transaction.

A sample trace of the BUG_ON() on a SLE12 kernel:

So fix this by doing the check of log_transid and updating or creating the
log root's item while holding the root's log_mutex.
