From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 2f6fc056e899bd0144a08da5cacaecbe8997cd74 ] nfsd_lookup_dentry exits with the parent filehandle locked. fh_put also unlocks if necessary (nfsd filehandle locking is probably too lenient), so it gets unlocked eventually, but if the following op in the compound needs to lock it again, we can deadlock. A fuzzer ran into this; normal clients don't send a secinfo followed by a readdir in the same compound. Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: J.
