From: Trond Myklebust Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 07:15:39 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e3db7691e9f3dff3289f64e3d98583e28afe03db;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [PATCH] NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() NFS: Fix race in nfs_release_page() invalidate_inode_pages2() may find the dirty bit has been set on a page owing to the fact that the page may still be mapped after it was locked. Only after the call to unmap_mapping_range() are we sure that the page can no longer be dirtied. In order to fix this, NFS has hooked the releasepage() method and tries to write the page out between the call to unmap_mapping_range() and the call to remove_mapping(). This, however leads to deadlocks in the page reclaim code, where the page may be locked without holding a reference to the inode or dentry. Fix is to add a new address_space_operation, launder_page(), which will attempt to write out a dirty page without releasing the page lock.
