From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit c3a5e3e872f3688ae0dc57bb78ca633921d96a91 ]
When using cachefiles, lockdep may emit something similar to the circular
locking dependency notice below. The problem appears to stem from the
following:
(1) Cachefiles manipulates xattrs on the files in its cache when called
from ->writepages().
(2) The setxattr() and removexattr() system call handlers get the name
(and value) from userspace after taking the sb_writers lock, putting
accesses of the vma->vm_lock and mm->mmap_lock inside of that.
(3) The afs filesystem uses a per-inode lock to prevent multiple
revalidation RPCs and in writeback vs truncate to prevent parallel
operations from deadlocking against the server on one side and local
page locks on the other.
Fix this by moving the getting of the name and value in {get,remove}xattr()
outside of the sb_writers lock. This also has the minor benefits that we
don't need to reget these in the event of a retry and we never try to take
the sb_writers lock in the event we can't pull the name and value into the
kernel.
Alternative approaches that might fix this include moving the dispatch of a
write to the cache off to a workqueue or trying to do without the
validation lock in afs. Note that this might also affect other filesystems
that use netfslib and/or cachefiles.
