rbd: fix rbd_dev_parent_get() when parent_overlap == 0
commit ae43e9d05eb4bd324155292f889fbd001c4faea8 upstream.
The comment for rbd_dev_parent_get() said
* We must get the reference before checking for the overlap to
* coordinate properly with zeroing the parent overlap in
* rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() when an image gets flattened. We
* drop it again if there is no overlap.
but the "drop it again if there is no overlap" part was missing from
the implementation. This lead to absurd parent_ref values for images
with parent_overlap == 0, as parent_ref was incremented for each
img_request and virtually never decremented.
Fix this by leveraging the fact that refresh path calls
rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() under header_rwsem and use it for read in
rbd_dev_parent_get(), instead of messing around with atomics. Get rid
of barriers in rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() while at it - I don't see what
they'd pair with now and I suspect we are in a pretty miserable
situation as far as proper locking goes regardless.
