When a writer thread executes a chain of log intent items for the realtime volume, the ILOCKs taken during each step are for each rt metadata file, not the entire rt volume itself. Although scrub takes all rt metadata ILOCKs, this isn't sufficient to guard against scrub checking the rt volume while that writer thread is in the middle of finishing a chain because there's no higher level locking primitive guarding the realtime volume. When there's a collision, cross-referencing between data structures (e.g. rtrmapbt and rtrefcountbt) yields false corruption events; if repair is running, this results in incorrect repairs, which is catastrophic. Fix this by adding to the mount structure the same drain that we use to protect scrub against concurrent AG updates, but this time for the realtime volume. Signed-off-by: "Darrick J.

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 reStructuredText 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.
