Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles. On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority, perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels have been known to do insane things, including controlling laser-wielding industrial robots. :-) Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
