[PATCH v2] ext4: fix i_data_sem unlock order in ext4_ind_migrate()
Posted by Mikhail Ukhin 1 year, 10 months ago
Fuzzing reports a possible deadlock in jbd2_log_wait_commit.

The problem occurs in ext4_ind_migrate due to an incorrect order of
unlocking of the journal and write semaphores - the order of unlocking
must be the reverse of the order of locking.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with syzkaller.

Thanks.  This has been addressed by commit 00d873c17e29 ("ext4: avoid
deadlock in fs reclaim with page writeback"), with the same code
change.
