Currently, reada_start_machine_worker() frees the reada_machine_work and then calls __reada_start_machine() to do readahead. This is another potential instance of the bug in "btrfs: don't prematurely free work in run_ordered_work()". There _might_ already be a deadlock here: reada_start_machine_worker() can depend on itself through stacked filesystems (__read_start_machine() -> reada_start_machine_dev() -> reada_tree_block_flagged() -> read_extent_buffer_pages() -> submit_one_bio() -> btree_submit_bio_hook() -> btrfs_map_bio() -> submit_stripe_bio() -> submit_bio() onto a loop device can trigger readahead on the lower filesystem). Either way, let's fix it by freeing the work at the end.

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.
