[PATCH] ext4: WARNING: locking bug in ext4_ioctl

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

 



Fixed the locking bug with the bisection found by syzbot.

Link to the syzbot bug report:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a3c8e9ac9f9d77240afd

First attempt at patching this issue. Verified the bug exists, and that
this patch fixes it, and EXT4 KUnit tests pass. Though I am not sure if
the patch should be higher up the stack.

Open to questions or any suggestions for improvements.
