We don't hold the ilock through the entire sequence of xfs_writepage_map -> xfs_map_cow -> xfs_reflink_find_cow_mapping. This means that we can race with another thread that is trying to clear the inode reflink flag, with the result that the flag is set for the xfs_map_cow check but cleared before we get to the assert in find_cow_mapping. When this happens, we blow the assert even though everything is fine. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

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.
