[ Upstream commit e79719a2ca5c61912c0493bc1367db52759cf6fd ] Direct reclaim from fanotify mark allocation context may try to evict inodes with evictable marks of the same group and hit this deadlock: [<0>] fsnotify_destroy_mark+0x1f/0x3a [<0>] fsnotify_destroy_marks+0x71/0xd9 [<0>] __destroy_inode+0x24/0x7e [<0>] destroy_inode+0x2c/0x67 [<0>] dispose_list+0x49/0x68 [<0>] prune_icache_sb+0x5b/0x79 [<0>] super_cache_scan+0x11c/0x16f [<0>] shrink_slab.constprop.0+0x23e/0x40f [<0>] shrink_node+0x218/0x3e7 [<0>] do_try_to_free_pages+0x12a/0x2d2 [<0>] try_to_free_pages+0x166/0x242 [<0>] __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.0+0x30c/0x903 [<0>] __alloc_pages+0xeb/0x1c7 [<0>] cache_grow_begin+0x6f/0x31e [<0>] fallback_alloc+0xe0/0x12d [<0>] ____cache_alloc_node+0x15a/0x17e [<0>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0xa1/0x143 [<0>] fanotify_add_mark+0xd5/0x2b2 [<0>] do_fanotify_mark+0x566/0x5eb [<0>] __x64_sys_fanotify_mark+0x21/0x24 [<0>] do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x80 [<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Set the FSNOTIFY_GROUP_NOFS flag to prevent going into direct reclaim from allocations under fanotify group lock and use the safe group lock helpers.

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.
