Subject: [PATCH 4.14 015/109] staging: android: ashmem: Fix lockdep issue during llseek
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@...gle.com>
commit cb57469c9573f6018cd1302953dd45d6e05aba7b upstream.
ashmem_mutex create a chain of dependencies like so:
(1)
mmap syscall ->
mmap_sem -> (acquired)
ashmem_mmap
ashmem_mutex (try to acquire)
(block)
(2)
llseek syscall ->
ashmem_llseek ->
ashmem_mutex -> (acquired)
inode_lock ->
inode->i_rwsem (try to acquire)
(block)
(3)
getdents ->
iterate_dir ->
inode_lock ->
inode->i_rwsem (acquired)
copy_to_user ->
mmap_sem (try to acquire)
There is a lock ordering created between mmap_sem and inode->i_rwsem
causing a lockdep splat [2] during a syzcaller test, this patch fixes
the issue by unlocking the mutex earlier. Functionally that's Ok since
we don't need to protect vfs_llseek.
