Eric Ren 8818efaaac ocfs2: fix deadlock caused by recursive locking in xattr
Another deadlock path caused by recursive locking is reported.  This
kind of issue was introduced since commit 743b5f1434 ("ocfs2: take
inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()").  Two deadlock paths have been
fixed by commit b891fa5024 ("ocfs2: fix deadlock issue when taking
inode lock at vfs entry points").  Yes, we intend to fix this kind of
case in incremental way, because it's hard to find out all possible
paths at once.

This one can be reproduced like this.  On node1, cp a large file from
home directory to ocfs2 mountpoint.  While on node2, run
setfacl/getfacl.  Both nodes will hang up there.  The backtraces:

On node1:
  __ocfs2_cluster_lock.isra.39+0x357/0x740 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_inode_lock_full_nested+0x17d/0x840 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_write_begin+0x43/0x1a0 [ocfs2]
  generic_perform_write+0xa9/0x180
  __generic_file_write_iter+0x1aa/0x1d0
  ocfs2_file_write_iter+0x4f4/0xb40 [ocfs2]
  __vfs_write+0xc3/0x130
  vfs_write+0xb1/0x1a0
  SyS_write+0x46/0xa0

On node2:
  __ocfs2_cluster_lock.isra.39+0x357/0x740 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_inode_lock_full_nested+0x17d/0x840 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_xattr_set+0x12e/0xe80 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_set_acl+0x22d/0x260 [ocfs2]
  ocfs2_iop_set_acl+0x65/0xb0 [ocfs2]
  set_posix_acl+0x75/0xb0
  posix_acl_xattr_set+0x49/0xa0
  __vfs_setxattr+0x69/0x80
  __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x72/0x1a0
  vfs_setxattr+0xa7/0xb0
  setxattr+0x12d/0x190
  path_setxattr+0x9f/0xb0
  SyS_setxattr+0x14/0x20

Fix this one by using ocfs2_inode_{lock|unlock}_tracker, which is
exported by commit 439a36b8ef ("ocfs2/dlmglue: prepare tracking logic
to avoid recursive cluster lock").

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
