From 9af86694fd5d387992699ec99007ed374966ce9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernd Schubert bschubert@ddn.com Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2023 17:59:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: file_remove_privs needs an exclusive lock in direct io write

This was noticed by Miklos that file_remove_privs might call into notify_change(), which requires to hold an exclusive lock. The problem exists in FUSE and btrfs. We can fix it without any additional helpers from VFS, in case the privileges would need to be dropped, change the lock type to be exclusive and redo the loop.
