xfs: fix buffer use after free on IO error
When testing exhaustion of dm snapshots, the following appeared with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE enabled: ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: work_struct hint: xfs_buf_iodone_work+0x0/0x1d0 [xfs] indicating that we'd freed a buffer which still had a pending reference, down this path: [ 190.867975] [<ffffffff8133e6fb>] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x22b/0x270 [ 190.880820] [<ffffffff811da1d0>] kmem_cache_free+0xd0/0x370 [ 190.892615] [<ffffffffa02c5924>] xfs_buf_free+0xe4/0x210 [xfs] [ 190.905629] [<ffffffffa02c6167>] xfs_buf_rele+0xe7/0x270 [xfs] [ 190.911770] [<ffffffffa034c826>] xfs_trans_read_buf_map+0x7b6/0xac0 [xfs] At issue is the fact that if IO fails in xfs_buf_iorequest, we'll queue completion unconditionally, and then call xfs_buf_rele; but if IO failed, there are no IOs remaining, and xfs_buf_rele will free the bp while work is still queued. Fix this by not scheduling completion if the buffer has an error on it; run it immediately. The rest is only comment changes. Thanks to dchinner for spotting the root cause.
