The code in fscache_retrieval_complete is using atomic_sub followed by an
atomic_read:
atomic_sub(n_pages, &op->n_pages);
if (atomic_read(&op->n_pages) <= 0)
fscache_op_complete(&op->op, true);
This causes two threads doing a decrement of n_pages to race with each
other seeing the op->refcount 0 at same time - and they end up calling
fscache_op_complete() in both the threads leading to an assertion failure.
Fix this by using atomic_sub_return_relaxed() instead of two calls. Note
that I'm using 'relaxed' rather than, say, 'release' as there aren't
multiple variables that appear to need ordering across the release.
The oops looks something like:
FS-Cache: Assertion failed
FS-Cache: 0 > 0 is false

This seen this in 4.4.x kernels and the same bug affects fscache in latest
upstreams kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
