Omar Sandoval 3eaf00d2f8 btrfs: avoid copying BTRFS_ROOT_SUBVOL_DEAD flag to snapshot of subvolume being deleted
commit 3324d05478 upstream.

Sweet Tea spotted a race between subvolume deletion and snapshotting
that can result in the root item for the snapshot having the
BTRFS_ROOT_SUBVOL_DEAD flag set. The race is:

Thread 1                                      | Thread 2
----------------------------------------------|----------
btrfs_delete_subvolume                        |
  btrfs_set_root_flags(BTRFS_ROOT_SUBVOL_DEAD)|
                                              |btrfs_mksubvol
                                              |  down_read(subvol_sem)
                                              |  create_snapshot
                                              |    ...
                                              |    create_pending_snapshot
                                              |      copy root item from source
  down_write(subvol_sem)                      |

This flag is only checked in send and swap activate, which this would
cause to fail mysteriously.

create_snapshot() now checks the root refs to reject a deleted
subvolume, so we can fix this by locking subvol_sem earlier so that the
BTRFS_ROOT_SUBVOL_DEAD flag and the root refs are updated atomically.

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.
