Fix read errors race after block cloning
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Investigating read errors triggering panic fixed in #16042 I've
found that we have a race in a sync process between the moment
dirty record for cloned block is removed and the moment dbuf is
destroyed.  If dmu_buf_hold_array_by_dnode() take a hold on a
cloned dbuf before it is synced/destroyed, then dbuf_read_impl()
may see it still in DB_NOFILL state, but without the dirty record.
Such case is not an error, but equivalent to DB_UNCACHED, since
the dbuf block pointer is already updated by dbuf_write_ready().
Unfortunately it is impossible to safely change the dbuf state
to DB_UNCACHED there, since there may already be another cloning
in progress, that dropped dbuf lock before creating a new dirty
record, protected only by the range lock.
