[PATCH] ext4: WARNING: locking bug in ext4_ioctl
Posted by Remington Brasga 2 months ago
Fixed the locking bug with the bisection found by syzbot.

Link to the syzbot bug report:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a3c8e9ac9f9d77240afd

Reported-by: syzbot+a3c8e9ac9f9d77240afd@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Signed-off-by: Remington Brasga <rbrasga@uci.edu>

First attempt at patching this issue. Verified the bug exists, and that
this patch fixes it, and EXT4 KUnit tests pass. Though I am not sure if
the patch should be higher up the stack.

Open to questions or any suggestions for improvements.

Hello,

syzbot has tested the proposed patch but the reproducer is still triggering an issue:
WARNING: locking bug in ext4_ioctl
