In btrfs_clone_files(), we must check the NODATASUM flag while the
inodes are locked. Otherwise, it's possible that btrfs_ioctl_setflags()
will change the flags after we check and we can end up with a party
checksummed file.
The race window is only a few instructions in size, between the if and
the locks which is:
3834 if (S_ISDIR(src->i_mode) || S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode))
3835 return -EISDIR;
where the setflags must be run and toggle the NODATASUM flag (provided
the file size is 0). The clone will block on the inode lock, segflags
takes the inode lock, changes flags, releases log and clone continues.
Not impossible but still needs a lot of bad luck to hit unintentionally.

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.
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.
