From 2f6fc056e899bd0144a08da5cacaecbe8997cd74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2016 16:36:21 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd: fix deadlock secinfo+readdir compound nfsd_lookup_dentry exits with the parent filehandle locked. fh_put also unlocks if necessary (nfsd filehandle locking is probably too lenient), so it gets unlocked eventually, but if the following op in the compound needs to lock it again, we can deadlock. A fuzzer ran into this; normal clients don't send a secinfo followed by a readdir in the same compound. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: J.
