We set the BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME flag in the btrfs_recover_balance() only, which isn't called during the remount. So when resuming from the paused balance we hit the BUG.

Signed-off-by: Anand Jain <anand.j...@oracle.com> --- v2->v3: . Hold fs_info->balance_lock because in remount context there can be more the one thread accessing the balance_ctl. . Don't remove the BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME set at recover_balance as in the original code. . Add comments. v1->v2: btrfs_resume_balance_async() can be called only from remount or mount, we don't need to hold fs_info->balance_lock. fs/btrfs/volumes.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c index 40e4259bdd51..c68976856d87 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/volumes.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/volumes.c @@ -4112,6 +4112,15 @@ int btrfs_resume_balance_async(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info) return 0; } + /* + * A remount ro->rw sequence should continue with the + * paused balance irrespective of who pauses it, system or + * the user as of now, so set the resume flag. + */ + spin_lock(&fs_info->balance_lock); + fs_info->balance_ctl->flags |= BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME; + spin_unlock(&fs_info->balance_lock); + tsk = kthread_run(balance_kthread, fs_info, "btrfs-balance"); return PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(tsk); } -- 2.7.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
