Unfortunately the compare value for checking the success of the update is read after checking for the need of a new leaf. It is possible that a new leaf has been linked into the tree concurrently in between. This could lead to a leaked memory page and to the loss of some p2m entries. Avoid the race by using the read compare value for checking the need of a new p2m leaf and use ACCESS_ONCE() to get it. There are other places which seem to need ACCESS_ONCE() to ensure proper operation. Change them accordingly.
