The patch titled Subject: ocfs2/acl: use 'ip_xattr_sem' to protect getting extended attribute has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ocfs2-acl-use-ip_xattr_sem-to-protect-getting-extended-attribute.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/ocfs2-acl-use-ip_xattr_sem-to-protect-getting-extended-attribute.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/ocfs2-acl-use-ip_xattr_sem-to-protect-getting-extended-attribute.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: piaojun <piaojun@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2/acl: use 'ip_xattr_sem' to protect getting extended attribute The race between *set_acl and *get_acl will cause getting incomplete xattr data as below: processA processB ocfs2_set_acl ocfs2_xattr_set __ocfs2_xattr_set_handle ocfs2_get_acl_nolock ocfs2_xattr_get_nolock: processB may get incomplete xattr data if processA hasn't set_acl done. So we should use 'ip_xattr_sem' to protect getting extended attribute in ocfs2_get_acl_nolock(), as other processes could be changing it concurrently.
