Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2019 17:36:15 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>, stable@...r.kernel.org, Theodore Tso <tytso@....edu>, stable@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH 4.19 39/50] ext4: fix a potential fiemap/page fault deadlock w/ inline_data 4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> commit 2b08b1f12cd664dc7d5c84ead9ff25ae97ad5491 upstream. The ext4_inline_data_fiemap() function calls fiemap_fill_next_extent() while still holding the xattr semaphore. This is not necessary and it triggers a circular lockdep warning. This is because fiemap_fill_next_extent() could trigger a page fault when it writes into page which triggers a page fault. If that page is mmaped from the inline file in question, this could very well result in a deadlock. This problem can be reproduced using generic/519 with a file system configuration which has the inline_data feature enabled.
