From 51561ffec9614618f3da362f9d1b03a95b717484 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:25:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: lock the transition from dirty to writeback for an eb There is a small window where an eb can have no IO bits set on it, which could potentially result in extent_buffer_under_io() returning false when we want it to return true, which could result in not fun things happening. So in order to protect this case we need to hold the refs_lock when we make this transition to make sure we get reliable results out of extent_buffer_udner_io().
