From ffb7c2e923cb3232454a513dcb5636e73091aa88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2021 12:09:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: do not consider send context as valid when trying to flush qgroups At qgroup.c:try_flush_qgroup() we are asserting that current->journal_info is either NULL or has the value BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB. However allowing for BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB makes no sense because: 1) It is misleading, because send operations are read-only and do not ever need to reserve qgroup space; 2) We already assert that current->journal_info != BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB at transaction.c:start_transaction(); 3) On a kernel without CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT=y set, it would result in a crash if try_flush_qgroup() is ever called in a send context, because at transaction.c:start_transaction we cast current->journal_info into a struct btrfs_trans_handle pointer and then dereference it. So just do allow a send context at try_flush_qgroup() and update the comment about it.
