Btrfs: fix deadlock in btrfs_commit_transaction We calculate timeout (either 1 or MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) based on whether num_writers > 1 or should_grow at the top of the loop. Then, much much later, we wait for that timeout if either num_writers or should_grow is true. However, it's possible for a racing process (calling btrfs_end_transaction()) to decrement num_writers such that we wait forever instead of for 1. Fix this by deciding how long to wait when we wait. Include a smp_mb() before checking if the waitqueue is active to ensure the num_writers is visible. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
