In fixing the readdir+pagefault deadlock I accidentally introduced a stale entry regression in readdir. If we get close to full for the temporary buffer, and then skip a few delayed deletions, and then try to add another entry that won't fit, we will emit the entries we found and retry. Unfortunately we delete entries from our del_list as we find them, assuming we won't need them. However our pos will be with whatever our last entry was, which could be before the delayed deletions we skipped, so the next search will add the deleted entries back into our readdir buffer. So instead don't delete entries we find in our del_list so we can make sure we always find our delayed deletions. This is a slight perf hit for readdir with lots of pending deletions, but hopefully this isn't a common occurrence. If it is we can revist this and optimize it. cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 23b5ec74943f ("btrfs: fix readdir deadlock with pagefault") Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
