Filipe Manana 8949b9a114 btrfs: fix lock inversion problem when doing qgroup extent tracing
At btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post() we call btrfs_find_all_roots() with a
NULL value as the transaction handle argument, which makes that function
take the commit_root_sem semaphore, which is necessary when we don't hold
a transaction handle or any other mechanism to prevent a transaction
commit from wiping out commit roots.

However btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post() can be called in a context where
we are holding a write lock on an extent buffer from a subvolume tree,
namely from btrfs_truncate_inode_items(), called either during truncate
or unlink operations. In this case we end up with a lock inversion problem
because the commit_root_sem is a higher level lock, always supposed to be
acquired before locking any extent buffer.

Lockdep detects this lock inversion problem since we switched the extent
buffer locks from custom locks to semaphores, and when running btrfs/158
from fstests, it reported the following trace:

Fix this by making btrfs_find_all_roots() never attempt to lock the
commit_root_sem when it is called from btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post().

We can't just pass a non-NULL transaction handle to btrfs_find_all_roots()
from btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post(), because that would make backref
lookup not use commit roots and acquire read locks on extent buffers, and
therefore could deadlock when btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post() is called
from the btrfs_truncate_inode_items() code path which has acquired a write
lock on an extent buffer of the subvolume btree.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
