I don't think Roberto's patch identified above is the actual root
cause of this problem as reiserfs_xattr_set_handle() is called in
reiserfs_security_write() both before and after the patch. However,
due to some bad logic in reiserfs_security_write() which Roberto
corrected, I'm thinking that it is possible this code is being
exercised for the first time and syzbot is starting to trigger a
locking issue in the reiserfs code ... ?
+ Jan, Jeff (which basically restructured the lock)
Actually adding Jan and Jeff.

I involve the lockdep experts, to get a bit of help on this.
First of all, the lockdep warning is trivial to reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=reiserfs.img bs=1M count=100
# losetup -f --show reiserfs.img
/dev/loop0
# mkfs.reiserfs /dev/loop0
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/
# touch file0
In the testing system, Smack is the major LSM.
Ok, so the warning here is clear:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/log.txt?x=12403182280000
However, I was looking if that can really happen. From this:
[ 77.746561][ T5418] -> #1 (&sbi->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}:
[ 77.753772][ T5418] lock_acquire+0x23e/0x630
[ 77.758792][ T5418] __mutex_lock_common+0x1d8/0x2530
[ 77.764504][ T5418] mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
[ 77.769868][ T5418] reiserfs_write_lock+0x70/0xc0
[ 77.775321][ T5418] reiserfs_mkdir+0x321/0x870
I see that the lock is taken in reiserfs_write_lock(), while lockdep says:
[ 77.710227][ T5418] but task is already holding lock:
[ 77.717587][ T5418] ffff88807568d090 (&sbi->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at:
reiserfs_write_lock_nested+0x4a/0xb0
which is in a different place, I believe here:
int reiserfs_paste_into_item(struct reiserfs_transaction_handle *th,
/* Path to the pasted item. */
[...]
depth = reiserfs_write_unlock_nested(sb);
dquot_free_space_nodirty(inode, pasted_size);
reiserfs_write_lock_nested(sb, depth);
return retval;
}
This is called by reiserfs_add_entry(), which is called by
reiserfs_create() (it is in the lockdep trace). After returning to
reiserfs_create(), d_instantiate_new() is called.
I don't know exactly, I take the part that the lock is held. But if it
is held, how d_instantiate_new() can be executed in another task?
static int reiserfs_create(struct mnt_idmap *idmap, struct inode *dir,
struct dentry *dentry, umode_t mode, bool excl)
{
[...]
reiserfs_write_lock(dir->i_sb);
retval = journal_begin(&th, dir->i_sb, jbegin_count);
[...]
d_instantiate_new(dentry, inode);
retval = journal_end(&th);
out_failed:
reiserfs_write_unlock(dir->i_sb);
If the lock is held, the scenario lockdep describes cannot happen. Any
thoughts?
Thanks
Roberto
