This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled hfs: add lock nesting notation to hfs_find_init to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: hfs-add-lock-nesting-notation-to-hfs_find_init.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6ca1b1d703641f63596a6008453133bc41c35fcf Author: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi <desmondcheongzx@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 14 21:27:08 2021 -0700 hfs: add lock nesting notation to hfs_find_init [ Upstream commit b3b2177a2d795e35dc11597b2609eb1e7e57e570 ] Syzbot reports a possible recursive lock in [1]. This happens due to missing lock nesting information. From the logs, we see that a call to hfs_fill_super is made to mount the hfs filesystem. While searching for the root inode, the lock on the catalog btree is grabbed. Then, when the parent of the root isn't found, a call to __hfs_bnode_create is made to create the parent of the root. This eventually leads to a call to hfs_ext_read_extent which grabs a lock on the extents btree. Since the order of locking is catalog btree -> extents btree, this lock hierarchy does not lead to a deadlock. To tell lockdep that this locking is safe, we add nesting notation to distinguish between catalog btrees, extents btrees, and attributes btrees (for HFS+). This has already been done in hfsplus.
