Ordered work functions aren't guaranteed to be handled by the same thread
which executed the normal work functions. The only way execution between
normal/ordered functions is synchronized is via the WORK_DONE_BIT,
unfortunately the used bitops don't guarantee any ordering whatsoever.
This manifested as seemingly inexplicable crashes on ARM64, where
async_chunk::inode is seen as non-null in async_cow_submit which causes
submit_compressed_extents to be called and crash occurs because
async_chunk::inode suddenly became NULL. The call trace was similar to:
pc : submit_compressed_extents+0x38/0x3d0
lr : async_cow_submit+0x50/0xd0
sp : ffff800015d4bc20
<registers omitted for brevity>
Call trace:
submit_compressed_extents+0x38/0x3d0
async_cow_submit+0x50/0xd0
run_ordered_work+0xc8/0x280
btrfs_work_helper+0x98/0x250
process_one_work+0x1f0/0x4ac
worker_thread+0x188/0x504
kthread+0x110/0x114
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18
Fix this by adding respective barrier calls which ensure that all
accesses preceding setting of WORK_DONE_BIT are strictly ordered before
setting the flag. At the same time add a read barrier after reading of
WORK_DONE_BIT in run_ordered_work which ensures all subsequent loads
would be strictly ordered after reading the bit. This in turn ensures
are all accesses before WORK_DONE_BIT are going to be strictly ordered
before any access that can occur in ordered_func.
