6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marios Makassikis <mmakassikis@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 807252f028c59b9a3bac4d62ad84761548c10f11 upstream. Running smb2.rename test from Samba smbtorture suite against a kernel built with lockdep triggers a "possible recursive locking detected" warning. This is because mnt_want_write() is called twice with no mnt_drop_write() in between: -> ksmbd_vfs_mkdir() -> ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_create() -> kern_path_create() -> filename_create() -> mnt_want_write() -> mnt_want_write() Fix this by removing the mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write calls from vfs helpers that call kern_path_create().
