... and fix the directory locking documentation and proof of correctness. Holding ->s_vfs_rename_mutex *almost* prevents ->d_parent changes; the case where we really don't want it is splicing the root of disconnected tree to somewhere. In other words, ->s_vfs_rename_mutex is sufficient to stabilize "X is an ancestor of Y" only if X and Y are already in the same tree. Otherwise it can go from false to true, and one can construct a deadlock on that. Make lock_two_directories() report an error in such case and update the callers of lock_rename()/lock_rename_child() to handle such errors. And yes, such conditions are not impossible to create ;-/ Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |
