[PATCH] bcache: lock in btree_flush_write() to avoid races

From: <hidden>
Date: 2018-01-24 06:52:57
Also in: linux-block
Subsystem: bcache (block layer cache), the rest · Maintainers: Coly Li, Kent Overstreet, Linus Torvalds

From: Tang Junhui <redacted>

In btree_flush_write(), two places need to take a locker to
avoid races:

Firstly, we need take rcu read locker to protect the bucket_hash
traverse, since hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() must be called under
the protection of rcu read locker.

Secondly, we need take b->write_lock locker to protect journal
of the btree node, otherwise, the btree node may have been
written, and the journal have been assign to NULL.
