From 7bfac9ecf0585962fe13584f5cf526d8c8e76f17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 17:41:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] splice: fix deadlock in splicing to file There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(), splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write(): - task A calls generic_file_splice_write() - this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both pipe->inode and target inode - ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is locked first - __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait() - this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep - task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first - this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is already held by task A - task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as it is already held by task B - ABBA deadlock Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked) must be on pipe->inode. This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends are not called with a target which is a pipe.
