Linux kernel source tree
986bf6ed44
At inode_logged() we do a couple lockless checks for ->logged_trans, and
these are generally safe except the second one in case we get a load or
store tearing due to a concurrent call updating ->logged_trans (either at
btrfs_log_inode() or later at inode_logged()).
In the first case it's safe to compare to the current transaction ID since
once ->logged_trans is set the current transaction, we never set it to a
lower value.
In the second case, where we check if it's greater than zero, we are prone
to load/store tearing races, since we can have a concurrent task updating
to the current transaction ID with store tearing for example, instead of
updating with a single 64 bits write, to update with two 32 bits writes or
four 16 bits writes. In that case the reading side at inode_logged() could
see a positive value that does not match the current transaction and then
return a false negative.
Fix this by doing the second check while holding the inode's spinlock, add
some comments about it too. Also add the data_race() annotation to the
first check to avoid any reports from KCSAN (or similar tools) and comment
about it.

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.
