[PATCH v2 02/25] cachefiles: Fix non-taking of sb_writers around set/removexattr

Thu Aug 15 06:38:22 AEST 2024


Unlike other vfs_xxxx() calls, vfs_setxattr() and vfs_removexattr() don't
take the sb_writers lock, so the caller should do it for them.

Fix cachefiles to do this.

Fixes: 9ae326a69004 ("CacheFiles: A cache that backs onto a mounted filesystem")
