btrfs: release path before initializing extent tree in btrfs_read_locked_inode()
Résumé
btrfs: release path before initializing extent tree in btrfs_read_locked_inode()
Description d'origine
La description telle que publiée par la source (souvent en anglais).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: release path before initializing extent tree in btrfs_read_locked_inode()
In btrfs_read_locked_inode() we are calling btrfs_init_file_extent_tree()
while holding a path with a read locked leaf from a subvolume tree, and
btrfs_init_file_extent_tree() may do a GFP_KERNEL allocation, which can
trigger reclaim.
This can create a circular lock dependency which lockdep warns about with
the following splat:
