Linux kernel source tree

We store the progress (root and inode numbers) of the extent map shrinker in fs_info without any synchronization but we can have multiple tasks calling into the shrinker during memory allocations when there's enough memory pressure for example. This can result in a task A reading fs_info->extent_map_shrinker_last_ino after another task B updates it, and task A reading fs_info->extent_map_shrinker_last_root before task B updates it, making task A see an odd state that isn't necessarily harmful but may make it skip certain inode ranges or do more work than necessary by going over the same inodes again. These unprotected accesses would also trigger warnings from tools like KCSAN. So add a lock to protect access to these progress fields.

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 reStructuredText 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.
