The patch titled Subject: ocfs2: fix deadlocks when taking inode lock at vfs entry points has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ocfs2-fix-deadlocks-when-taking-inode-lock-at-vfs-entry-points.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/ocfs2-fix-deadlocks-when-taking-inode-lock-at-vfs-entry-points.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/ocfs2-fix-deadlocks-when-taking-inode-lock-at-vfs-entry-points.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Eric Ren <zren@xxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: fix deadlocks when taking inode lock at vfs entry points Commit 743b5f1434f5 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()") results in a deadlock, as the author "Tariq Saeed" realized shortly after the patch was merged. The discussion happened here (https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-September/011085.html). The reason why taking cluster inode lock at vfs entry points opens up a self deadlock window, is explained in the previous patch of this series. So far, we have seen two different code paths that have this issue. 1. do_sys_open may_open inode_permission ocfs2_permission ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR generic_permission get_acl ocfs2_iop_get_acl ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR 2. fchmod|fchmodat chmod_common notify_change ocfs2_setattr <=== take EX posix_acl_chmod get_acl ocfs2_iop_get_acl <=== take PR ocfs2_iop_set_acl <=== take EX Fixes them by adding the tracking logic (in the previous patch) for these funcs above, ocfs2_permission(), ocfs2_iop_[set|get]_acl(), ocfs2_setattr().
