When xfs_reflink_allocate_cow() allocates a transaction, it drops the ILOCK to perform the operation. This Introduces a race condition where another thread modifying the file can perform the COW allocation operation underneath us. This result in the retry loop finding an allocated block and jumping straight to the conversion code. It does not, however, cancel the transaction it holds and so this gets leaked. This results in a lockdep warning: ================================================ WARNING: lock held when returning to user space! 4.18.5 #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------ worker/6123 is leaving the kernel with locks still held! 1 lock held by worker/6123: #0: 000000009eab4f1b (sb_internal#2){.+.+}, at: xfs_trans_alloc+0x17c/0x220 And eventually the filesystem deadlocks because it runs out of log space that is reserved by the leaked transaction and never gets released. The logic flow in xfs_reflink_allocate_cow() is a convoluted mess of gotos - it's no surprise that it has bug where the flow through several goto jumps then fails to clean up context from a non-obvious logic path. CLean up the logic flow and make sure every path does the right thing. Reported-by: Alexander Y. Fomichev <git.user@gmail.com> Tested-by: Alexander Y.

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.
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.
