[PATCH] ext4: fix semaphore unlocking order

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

 



Fuzzing reports a possible deadlock in jbd2_log_wait_commit.

The problem occurs in ext4_ind_migrate due to an incorrect order of
unlocking of the journal and write semaphores - the order of unlocking
must be the reverse of the order of locking.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with syzkaller.
