We recently tracked down a race condition that triggered a read for an extent buffer with EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE already set. While this read was in progress, other concurrent readers would see the UPTODATE bit and return early as if the read was already complete, making accesses to the extent buffer conflict with the read operation that was overwriting it. Add a WARN_ON() to end_bbio_meta_read() for this situation to make similar races easier to spot in the future.

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 reStructuredText 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.
