From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <[email protected]>

The space_info list is rcu protected.
Hence, it should be traversed with rcu_read_lock held.

Warning:

This function is only triggered at mount time, where no other rcu
operation can happen.

Thanks Qu.

Joel and Paul, what should we do in this case?
Should we just pass cond = true or use list_for_each_entry instead?

Thank you,

I think we can afford to add rcu lock/unlock, even if it's not strictly
necessary due to the single threaded context where the function is run.
There are some lightweight operations inside and inc_block_group starts
with two spin locks so there's nothing we'd be losing with disabled
preemption from the caller.

I've updated the changelog based on comments from the mail thread and
applied the patch. Thanks.

I think use list_for_each_entry().
