commit f72ff01df9cf5db25c76674cac16605992d15467 upstream.
Testing with the new fsstress uncovered a pretty nasty deadlock with lookup and snapshot deletion.
Process A unlink -> final iput -> inode_tree_del -> synchronize_srcu(subvol_srcu)
Process B btrfs_lookup <- srcu_read_lock() acquired here -> btrfs_iget -> find inode that has I_FREEING set -> __wait_on_freeing_inode()
We're holding the srcu_read_lock() while doing the iget in order to make sure our fs root doesn't go away, and then we are waiting for the inode to finish freeing. However because the free'ing process is doing a synchronize_srcu() we deadlock.
Fix this by dropping the synchronize_srcu() in inode_tree_del(). We don't need people to stop accessing the fs root at this point, we're only adding our empty root to the dead roots list.
A larger much more invasive fix is forthcoming to address how we deal with fs roots, but this fixes the immediate problem.
