On a ppc64 machine using 64K as the block size, assume that the RB tree at btrfs_free_space_ctl->free_space_offset contains following two entries:
1. A bitmap entry having an offset value of 0 and having the bits corresponding to the address range [128M+512K, 128M+768K] set. 2. An extent entry corresponding to the address range [128M-256K, 128M-128K] In such a scenario, test_check_exists() invoked for checking the existence of address range [128M+768K, 256M] can lead to an infinite loop as explained below: - Checking for the extent entry fails. - Checking for a bitmap entry results in the free space info in range [128M+512K, 128M+768K] beng returned. - rb_prev(info) returns NULL because the bitmap entry starting from offset 0 comes first in the RB tree. - current_node = bitmap node. - while (current_node) tmp = rb_next(bitmap_node);/*tmp is extent based free space entry*/ Since extent based free space entry's last address is smaller than the address being searched for (i.e. 128M+768K) we incorrectly again obtain the extent node as the "next right node" of the RB tree and thus end up looping infinitely. This patch fixes the issue by checking the "tmp" variable which point to the most recently searched free space node.
