[CAUSE]
All these call sites are only relying on root->reloc_root, which can
undergo btrfs_drop_snapshot(), and since we don't have real refcount
based protection to reloc roots, we can reach already dropped reloc
root, triggering KASAN.
[FIX]
To avoid such access to unstable root->reloc_root, we should check
BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit first.
This patch introduces wrappers that provide the correct way to check the
bit with memory barriers protection.
Most callers don't distinguish merged reloc tree and no reloc tree. The
only exception is should_ignore_root(), as merged reloc tree can be
ignored, while no reloc tree shouldn't.
[CRITICAL SECTION ANALYSIS]
Although test_bit()/set_bit()/clear_bit() doesn't imply a barrier, the
DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit has extra help from transaction as a higher level
barrier, the lifespan of root::reloc_root and DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit are:
NULL: reloc_root is NULL PTR: reloc_root is not NULL
0: DEAD_RELOC_ROOT bit not set DEAD: DEAD_RELOC_ROOT bit set
(NULL, 0) Initial state __
| /\ Section A
btrfs_init_reloc_root() \/
| __
(PTR, 0) reloc_root initialized /\
| |
btrfs_update_reloc_root() | Section B
| |
(PTR, DEAD) reloc_root has been merged \/
| __
=== btrfs_commit_transaction() ====================
| /\
clean_dirty_subvols() |
| | Section C
(NULL, DEAD) reloc_root cleanup starts \/
| __
btrfs_drop_snapshot() /\
| | Section D
(NULL, 0) Back to initial state \/
Every have_reloc_root() or test_bit(DEAD_RELOC_ROOT) caller holds
transaction handle, so none of such caller can cross transaction boundary.
In Section A, every caller just found no DEAD bit, and grab reloc_root.
In the cross section A-B, caller may get no DEAD bit, but since reloc_root
is still completely valid thus accessing reloc_root is completely safe.
No test_bit() caller can cross the boundary of Section B and Section C.
In Section C, every caller found the DEAD bit, so no one will access
reloc_root.
In the cross section C-D, either caller gets the DEAD bit set, avoiding
access reloc_root no matter if it's safe or not. Or caller get the DEAD
bit cleared, then access reloc_root, which is already NULL, nothing will
be wrong.
The memory write barriers are between the reloc_root updates and bit
set/clear, the pairing read side is before test_bit.

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.
