[CAUSE]
Although I cannot reproduce the error, the report itself is good enough
to pin down the cause.
The call trace is the regular endio workqueue context, but the
free-by-task trace is showing that during btrfs_submit_chunk() we
already hit a critical error, and is calling btrfs_bio_end_io() to error
out. And the original endio function called bio_put() to free the whole
bio.
This means a double freeing thus causing use-after-free, e.g.:
1. Enter btrfs_submit_bio() with a read bio
The read bio length is 128K, crossing two 64K stripes.
2. The first run of btrfs_submit_chunk()
2.1 Call btrfs_map_block(), which returns 64K
2.2 Call btrfs_split_bio()
Now there are two bios, one referring to the first 64K, the other
referring to the second 64K.
2.3 The first half is submitted.
3. The second run of btrfs_submit_chunk()
3.1 Call btrfs_map_block(), which by somehow failed
Now we call btrfs_bio_end_io() to handle the error
3.2 btrfs_bio_end_io() calls the original endio function
Which is end_bbio_data_read(), and it calls bio_put() for the
original bio.
Now the original bio is freed.
4. The submitted first 64K bio finished
Now we call into btrfs_check_read_bio() and tries to advance the bio
iter.
But since the original bio (thus its iter) is already freed, we
trigger the above use-after free.
And even if the memory is not poisoned/corrupted, we will later call
the original endio function, causing a double freeing.
[FIX]
Instead of calling btrfs_bio_end_io(), call btrfs_orig_bbio_end_io(),
which has the extra check on split bios and do the pr
