Hello,
syzbot has tested the proposed patch but the reproducer is still triggering an issue:
possible deadlock in __configfs_open_file
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
syzkaller #0 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
syz.0.17/6433 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888027868d78 (&p->frag_sem_key){.+.+}-{4:4}, at: __configfs_open_file+0xe8/0x9c0 fs/configfs/file.c:304
but task is already holding lock:
ffff888027868d78 (&p->frag_sem_key){.+.+}-{4:4}, at: flush_write_buffer fs/configfs/file.c:205 [inline]
ffff888027868d78 (&p->frag_sem_key){.+.+}-{4:4}, at: configfs_write_iter+0x219/0x4e0 fs/configfs/file.c:229
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(&p->frag_sem_key);
lock(&p->frag_sem_key);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
