3.13.11.5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx> commit 22e7478ddbcb670e33fab72d0bbe7c394c3a2c84 upstream. Prior to commit 0e4f6a791b1e (Fix reiserfs_file_release()), reiserfs truncates serialized on i_mutex. They mostly still do, with the exception of reiserfs_file_release. That blocks out other writers via the tailpack mutex and the inode openers counter adjusted in reiserfs_file_open. However, NFS will call reiserfs_setattr without having called ->open, so we end up with a race when nfs is calling ->setattr while another process is releasing the file. Ultimately, it triggers the BUG_ON(inode->i_size != new_file_size) check in maybe_indirect_to_direct. The solution is to pull the lock into reiserfs_setattr to encompass the truncate_setsize call as well.
