This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ceph: fix recursion between ceph_set_acl() and __ceph_setattr() 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: ceph-fix-recursion-between-ceph_set_acl-and-__ceph_setattr.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. >From 8179a101eb5f4ef0ac9a915fcea9a9d3109efa90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yan, Zheng" <zyan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2017 10:01:48 +0800 Subject: ceph: fix recursion between ceph_set_acl() and __ceph_setattr() From: Yan, Zheng <zyan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8179a101eb5f4ef0ac9a915fcea9a9d3109efa90 upstream. ceph_set_acl() calls __ceph_setattr() if the setacl operation needs to modify inode's i_mode. __ceph_setattr() updates inode's i_mode, then calls posix_acl_chmod(). The problem is that __ceph_setattr() calls posix_acl_chmod() before sending the setattr request. The get_acl() call in posix_acl_chmod() can trigger a getxattr request. The reply of the getxattr request can restore inode's i_mode to its old value. The set_acl() call in posix_acl_chmod() sees old value of inode's i_mode, so it calls __ceph_setattr() again.
