Darrick J. Wong cd3c2cf35f xfs: use xfs_defer_pending objects to recover intent items
commit 03f7767c9f6120ac933378fdec3bfd78bf07bc11 upstream.

One thing I never quite got around to doing is porting the log intent
item recovery code to reconstruct the deferred pending work state.  As a
result, each intent item open codes xfs_defer_finish_one in its recovery
method, because that's what the EFI code did before xfs_defer.c even
existed.

This is a gross thing to have left unfixed -- if an EFI cannot proceed
due to busy extents, we end up creating separate new EFIs for each
unfinished work item, which is a change in behavior from what runtime
would have done.

Worse yet, Long Li pointed out that there's a UAF in the recovery code.
The ->commit_pass2 function adds the intent item to the AIL and drops
the refcount.  The one remaining refcount is now owned by the recovery
mechanism (aka the log intent items in the AIL) with the intent of
giving the refcount to the intent done item in the ->iop_recover
function.

However, if something fails later in recovery, xlog_recover_finish will
walk the recovered intent items in the AIL and release them.  If the CIL
hasn't been pushed before that point (which is possible since we don't
force the log until later) then the intent done release will try to free
its associated intent, which has already been freed.

This patch starts to address this mess by having the ->commit_pass2
functions recreate the xfs_defer_pending state.  The next few patches
will fix the recovery functions.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
