commit 03f7767c9f6120ac933378fdec3bfd78bf07bc11 upstream. One thing I never quite got around to doing is porting the log intent item recovery code to reconstruct the deferred pending work state. As a result, each intent item open codes xfs_defer_finish_one in its recovery method, because that's what the EFI code did before xfs_defer.c even existed. This is a gross thing to have left unfixed -- if an EFI cannot proceed due to busy extents, we end up creating separate new EFIs for each unfinished work item, which is a change in behavior from what runtime would have done. Worse yet, Long Li pointed out that there's a UAF in the recovery code. The ->commit_pass2 function adds the intent item to the AIL and drops the refcount. The one remaining refcount is now owned by the recovery mechanism (aka the log intent items in the AIL) with the intent of giving the refcount to the intent done item in the ->iop_recover function. However, if something fails later in recovery, xlog_recover_finish will walk the recovered intent items in the AIL and release them. If the CIL hasn't been pushed before that point (which is possible since we don't force the log until later) then the intent done release will try to free its associated intent, which has already been freed. This patch starts to address this mess by having the ->commit_pass2 functions recreate the xfs_defer_pending state. The next few patches will fix the recovery functions. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
