[PATCH 3.16 037/192] udf: Fix deadlock between writeback and udf_setsize()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Oct 09 2017 - 09:39:19 EST


3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit f2e95355891153f66d4156bf3a142c6489cd78c6 upstream.

udf_setsize() called truncate_setsize() with i_data_sem held. Thus
truncate_pagecache() called from truncate_setsize() could lock a page
under i_data_sem which can deadlock as page lock ranks below
i_data_sem - e. g. writeback can hold page lock and try to acquire
i_data_sem to map a block.

Fix the problem by moving truncate_setsize() calls from under
i_data_sem. It is safe for us to change i_size without holding
i_data_sem as all the places that depend on i_size being stable already
hold inode_lock.
