Shamelessly copying the explanation from Tetsuo Handa's suggested patch[1] (slightly reworded): syzbot is reporting inconsistent lock state in p9_req_put()[2], for p9_tag_remove() from p9_req_put() from IRQ context is using spin_lock_irqsave() on "struct p9_client"->lock but trans_fd (not from IRQ context) is using spin_lock(). Since the locks actually protect different things in client.c and in trans_fd.c, just replace trans_fd.c's lock by a new one specific to the transport (client.c's protect the idr for fid/tag allocations, while trans_fd.c's protects its own req list and request status field that acts as the transport's state machine) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220904112928.1308799-1-asmadeus@codewreck.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/2470e028-9b05-2013-7198-1fdad071d999@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp [1] Link: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2f20b523930c32c160cc [2] Reported-by: syzbot <syzbot+2f20b523930c32c160cc@syzkaller.appspotmail.com> Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Reviewed-by: Christian Schoenebeck <linux_oss@crudebyte.com> Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>
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.
