Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix log context list corruption after rename whiteout
error

During a rename whiteout, if btrfs_whiteout_for_rename() returns an error we can end up returning from btrfs_rename() with the log context object still in the root's log context list - this happens if 'sync_log' was set to true before we called btrfs_whiteout_for_rename() and it is dangerous because we end up with a corrupt linked list (root->log_ctxs) as the log context object was allocated on the stack.

After btrfs_rename() returns, any task that is running btrfs_sync_log() concurrently can end up crashing because that linked list is traversed by btrfs_sync_log() (through btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs()). That results in the same issue that commit e6c617102c7e4 ("Btrfs: fix log context list corruption after rename exchange operation") fixed.

Fixes d4682ba03ef618 ("Btrfs: sync log after logging new name")

Greg, I'm not sure why you tried this for 4.14 - it's tagged 4.19+ and we don't have d4682ba03ef618 in 4.14 either.

Ah, I thought this was backported, as "simple" grep shows it showing up in 4.14.110, but that was just a reference to the short git commit id.

I need to fix my scripts to always expand it to the full sha1 to prevent that from catching.

thanks,
