During unmount we can have a job from the delayed inode items work queue
still running, that can lead to at least two bad things:
1) A crash, because the worker can try to create a transaction just
after the fs roots were freed;
2) A transaction leak, because the worker can create a transaction
before the fs roots are freed and just after we committed the last
transaction and after we stopped the transaction kthread.

The following diagram shows a sequence of steps that lead to the crash
during ummount of the filesystem:
CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3
btrfs_punch_hole()
btrfs_btree_balance_dirty()
btrfs_balance_delayed_items()
--> sees
fs_info->delayed_root->items
with value 200, which is greater
than
BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND (128)
and smaller than
BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK (512)
btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node()
--> queues a job for
fs_info->delayed_workers to run
btrfs_async_run_delayed_root()
btrfs_async_run_delayed_root()
--> job queued by CPU 1
--> starts picking and running
delayed nodes from the
prepare_list list
close_ctree()
btrfs_delete_unused_bgs()
btrfs_commit_super()
btrfs_join_transaction()
--> gets transaction N
btrfs_commit_transaction(N)
--> set transaction state
to TRANTS_STATE_COMMIT_START
btrfs_first_prepared_delayed_node()
--> picks delayed node X through
the prepared_list list
btrfs_run_delayed_items()
btrfs_first_delayed_node()
--> also picks delayed node X
but through the node_list
list
__btrfs_commit_inode_delayed_items()
--> runs all delayed items from
this node and drops the
node's item count to 0
through call to
btrfs_release_delayed_inode()
--> finishes running any remaining
delayed nodes
--> finishes transaction commit
--> stops cleaner and transaction threads
btrfs_free_fs_roots()
--> frees all roots and removes them
from the radix tree
fs_info->fs_roots_radix
btrfs_join_transaction()
start_transaction()
btrfs_record_root_in_trans()
record_root_in_trans()
radix_tree_tag_set()
--> crashes because
the root is not in
the radix tree
anymore
If the worker is able to call btrfs_join_transaction() before the unmount
task frees the fs roots, we end up leaking a transaction and all its
resources, since after the call to btrfs_commit_super() and stopping the
transaction kthread, we don't expect to have any transaction open anymore.
When this situation happens the worker has a delayed node that has no
more items to run, since the task calling btrfs_run_delayed_items(),
which is doing a transaction commit, picks the same node and runs all
its items first.
We can not wait for the worker to complete when running delayed items
through btrfs_run_delayed_items(), because we call that function in
several phases of a transaction commit, and that could cause a deadlock
because the worker calls btrfs_join_transaction() and the task doing the
transaction commit may have already set the transaction state to
TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING.
Also it's not possible to get into a situation where only some of the
items of a delayed node are added to the fs/subvolume tree in the current
transaction and the remaining ones in the next transaction, because when
running the items of a delayed inode we lock its mutex, effectively
waiting for the worker if the worker is running the items of the delayed
node already.
Since this can only cause issues when unmounting a filesystem, fix it in
a simple way by waiting for any jobs on the delayed workers queue before
calling btrfs_commit_supper() at close_ctree(). This works because at this
point no one can call btrfs_btree_balance_dirty() or
btrfs_balance_delayed_items(), and if we end up waiting for any worker to
complete, btrfs_commit_super() will commit the transaction created by the
worker.
