[PATCH] Btrfs: prevent deletion of mounted subvolumes

From: Omar Sandoval
Date: Mon Mar 30 2015 - 05:02:50 EST


Before commit bafc9b754f75 ("vfs: More precise tests in d_invalidate"),
d_invalidate() could return -EBUSY when a dentry for a directory had
more than one reference to it. This is what prevented a mounted
subvolume from being deleted, as struct vfsmount holds a reference to
the subvolume dentry. However, that commit removed that case, and later
commits in that patch series removed the return code from d_invalidate()
completely, so we don't get that check for free anymore. So, reintroduce
it in btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy().

This applies to 4.0-rc6. To be honest, I'm not sure that this is the most
correct fix for this bug, but it's equivalent to the pre-3.18 behavior and it's
the best that I could come up with. Thoughts?
