[PATCH 5.4 49/68] ext4: Fix deadlock during directory rename

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3c92792da8506a295afb6d032b4476e46f979725 ]

As lockdep properly warns, we should not be locking i_rwsem while having
transactions started as the proper lock ordering used by all directory
handling operations is i_rwsem -> transaction start. Fix the lock
ordering by moving the locking of the directory earlier in
ext4_rename().
