commit f72ff01df9cf5db25c76674cac16605992d15467 upstream.
Testing with the new fsstress uncovered a pretty nasty deadlock with
lookup and snapshot deletion.
Process A
unlink
-> final iput
-> inode_tree_del
-> synchronize_srcu(subvol_srcu)
Process B
btrfs_lookup <- srcu_read_lock() acquired here
-> btrfs_iget
-> find inode that has I_FREEING set
-> __wait_on_freeing_inode()
We're holding the srcu_read_lock() while doing the iget in order to make
sure our fs root doesn't go away, and then we are waiting for the inode
to finish freeing. However because the free'ing process is doing a
synchronize_srcu() we deadlock.
Fix this by dropping the synchronize_srcu() in inode_tree_del(). We
don't need people to stop accessing the fs root at this point, we're
only adding our empty root to the dead roots list.
A larger much more invasive fix is forthcoming to address how we deal
with fs roots, but this fixes the immediate problem.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
