------------------------------------------------------ From: Mohammed Anees pvmohammedanees2003@gmail.com Subject: ocfs2: fix deadlock in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2024 09:32:57 +0000
syzbot has found a possible deadlock in ocfs2_get_system_file_inode [1].
The scenario is depicted here,
CPU0 CPU1 lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key); lock(&osb->system_file_mutex); lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key); lock(&osb->system_file_mutex);
The function calls which could lead to this are:
CPU0 ocfs2_mknod - lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key); . . . ocfs2_get_system_file_inode - lock(&osb->system_file_mutex);
CPU1 - ocfs2_fill_super - lock(&osb->system_file_mutex); . . . ocfs2_read_virt_blocks - lock(&ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key);
This issue can be resolved by making the down_read -> down_read_try in the ocfs2_read_virt_blocks.
