Currently, end_workqueue_fn() frees the end_io_wq entry (which embeds the work item) and then calls bio_endio(). This is another potential instance of the bug in "btrfs: don't prematurely free work in run_ordered_work()". In particular, the endio call may depend on other work items. For example, btrfs_end_dio_bio() can call btrfs_subio_endio_read() -> __btrfs_correct_data_nocsum() -> dio_read_error() -> submit_dio_repair_bio(), which submits a bio that is also completed through a end_workqueue_fn() work item. However, __btrfs_correct_data_nocsum() waits for the newly submitted bio to complete, thus it depends on another work item. This example currently usually works because we use different workqueue helper functions for BTRFS_WQ_ENDIO_DATA and BTRFS_WQ_ENDIO_DIO_REPAIR. However, it may deadlock with stacked filesystems and is fragile overall. The proper fix is to free the work item at the very end of the work function, so let's do that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
