From a6de82cab123beaf9406024943caa0242f0618b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 21 May 2015 16:05:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: Correctly lock inode when removing suid and file capabilities Currently XFS calls file_remove_privs() without holding i_mutex. This is wrong because that function can end up messing with file permissions and file capabilities stored in xattrs for which we need i_mutex held. Fix the problem by grabbing iolock exclusively when we will need to change anything in permissions / xattrs.
