fs/ocfs2: fix race in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()
ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() can be executed in parallel threads against the same dentry. Make that race safe. The race is like this: thread A thread B (A1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock, seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL, and no alias found by ocfs2_find_local_alias, so kmalloc a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure to local variable "dl", dl1 ..... (B1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock, seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL, and no alias found by ocfs2_find_local_alias so kmalloc a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure to local variable "dl", dl2. ...... (A2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl1, call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase dl1->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on success. ...... (B2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl2 call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on success. ...... (A3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock() and decrease dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 0 on success. .... (B3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock(), decreasing dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders, but see it's zero now, panic Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190529174636.22364-1-wen.gang.wang@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang@oracle.com> Reported-by: Daniel Sobe <daniel.sobe@nxp.com> Tested-by: Daniel Sobe <daniel.sobe@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Changwei Ge <gechangwei@live.cn> Reviewed-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mark@fasheh.com> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@evilplan.org> Cc: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@oracle.com> Cc: Gang He <ghe@suse.com> Cc: Jun Piao <piaojun@huawei.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
