I encountered a race issue after lengthy (~594647 secs) stress tests on
a 64k-page arm64 VM with several 4k-block EROFS images. The timing
is like below:
z_erofs_try_inplace_io z_erofs_fill_bio_vec
cmpxchg(&compressed_bvecs[].page,
NULL, ..)
[access bufvec]
compressed_bvecs[] = *bvec;
Previously, z_erofs_submit_queue() just accessed bufvec->page only, so
other fields in bufvec didn't matter. After the subpage block support
is landed, .offset and .end can be used too, but filling bufvec isn't
an atomic operation which can cause inconsistency.
Let's use a spinlock to keep the atomicity of each bufvec. More
specifically, just reuse the existing spinlock `pcl->obj.lockref.lock`
since it's rarely used (also it takes a short time if even used) as long
as the pcluster has a reference.
Fixes: 192351616a9d ("erofs: support I/O submission for sub-page compressed blocks")

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.
