BUG? a suspected deadlock bug at ext4_fill_super()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi. I found a suspected deadlock bug from ext4.

ext4_fill_super() releases and re-takes BKL while s_umount is held.
Lock ordering at the point where BKL is re-taken is s_umount-> BKL.

However, at do_remount(), locking ordering is BKL->s_umount.
Therefore, concurrent execution of do_remount() and ext4_fill_super()
may result deadlock.

Please examine this report. Thank you.


p.s. I found this suspected bug by the motivation from
       commit 5f22ca9b13551debea77a407a8d06cd9c6f15238.
