gfs2: Fix deadlock between gfs2_{create_inode,inode_lookup} and delete_work_func
In gfs2_create_inode and gfs2_inode_lookup, make sure to cancel any pending delete work before taking the inode glock. Otherwise, gfs2_cancel_delete_work may block waiting for delete_work_func to complete, and delete_work_func may block trying to acquire the inode glock in gfs2_inode_lookup. Reported-by: Alexander Aring <aahringo@redhat.com> Fixes: a0e3cc65fa29 ("gfs2: Turn gl_delete into a delayed work") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.8+ Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@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.
