[CAUSE]
To support mounting different subvolume with different RO/RW flags for
the new mount APIs, btrfs introduced two workaround to support this feature:
- Skip mount option/feature checks if we are mounting a different
subvolume
- Reconfigure the fs to RW if the initial mount is RO
Combining these two, we can have the following sequence:
- Mount the fs ro,rescue=all,clear_cache,space_cache=v1
rescue=all will mark the fs as hard read-only, so no v2 cache clearing
will happen.
- Mount a subvolume rw of the same fs.
We go into btrfs_get_tree_subvol(), but fc_mount() returns EBUSY
because our new fc is RW, different from the original fs.
Now we enter btrfs_reconfigure_for_mount(), which switches the RO flag
first so that we can grab the existing fs_info.
Then we reconfigure the fs to RW.
- During reconfiguration, option/features check is skipped
This means we will restart the v2 cache clearing, and convert back to
v1 cache.
This will trigger fs writes, and since the original fs has "rescue=all"
option, it skips the csum tree read.
And eventually causing NULL pointer dereference in super block
writeback.
[FIX]
For reconfiguration caused by different subvolume RO/RW flags, ensure we
always run btrfs_check_options() to ensure we have proper hard RO
requirements met.
In fact the function btrfs_check_options() doesn't really do many
complex checks, but hard RO requirement and some feature dependency
checks, thus there is no special reason not to do the check for mount
reconfiguration.
