I was poking around in the directory code while diagnosing online fsck bugs, and noticed that xfs_readdir doesn't actually take the directory ILOCK when it calls xfs_dir2_isblock. xfs_dir_open most probably loaded the data fork mappings and the VFS took i_rwsem (aka IOLOCK_SHARED) so we're protected against writer threads, but we really need to follow the locking model like we do in other places. To avoid unnecessarily cycling the ILOCK for fairly small directories, change the block/leaf _getdents functions to consume the ILOCK hold that the parent readdir function took to decide on a _getdents implementation. It is ok to cycle the ILOCK in readdir because the VFS takes the IOLOCK in the appropriate mode during lookups and writes, and we don't want to be holding the ILOCK when we copy directory entries to userspace in case there's a page fault. We really only need it to protect against data fork lookups, like we do for other files. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
