[PATCH 18/23] xfs: avoid mount-time deadlock in CoW extent recovery

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

 



From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3ecb3ac7b950ff8f6c6a61e8b7b0d6e3546429a0 upstream.

If a malicious user corrupts the refcount btree to cause a cycle between
different levels of the tree, the next mount attempt will deadlock in
the CoW recovery routine while grabbing buffer locks.  We can use the
ability to re-grab a buffer that was previous locked to a transaction to
avoid deadlocks, so do that here.
