Subject: jbd2: fix deadlock in jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=981fcc5674e67158d24d23e841523eccba19d0e7;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

jbd2: fix deadlock in jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke()

Commit f76d4c28a46a ("fs/jbd2: use sleeping version of
__find_get_block()") changed jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke() to use
__find_get_block_nonatomic() which holds the folio lock instead of
i_private_lock. This breaks the lock ordering (folio -> buffer) and
causes an ABBA deadlock when the filesystem blocksize < pagesize:

     T1                                T2
ext4_mkdir()
 ext4_init_new_dir()
  ext4_append()
   ext4_getblk()
    lock_buffer()    <- A
                                   sync_blockdev()
                                    blkdev_writepages()
                                     writeback_iter()
                                      writeback_get_folio()
                                       folio_lock()   <- B
     ext4_journal_get_create_access()
      jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke()
       __find_get_block_nonatomic()
        folio_lock()  <- B
                                     block_write_full_folio()
                                      lock_buffer()   <- A

This can occasionally cause generic/013 to hang.

Fix by only calling __find_get_block_nonatomic() when the passed
buffer_head doesn't belong to the bdev, which is the only case that we
need to look up its bdev alias. Otherwise, the lookup is redundant since
the found buffer_head is equal to the one we passed in.
