udf: Fix deadlock in udf_release_file()

2012-03-10T21:05:38+00:00

udf_release_file() can be called from munmap() path with mmap_sem held.  Thus
we cannot take i_mutex there because that ranks above mmap_sem. Luckily,
i_mutex is not needed in udf_release_file() anymore since protection by
i_data_sem is enough to protect from races with write and truncate.

udf: Fix deadlock when converting file from in-ICB one to normal one

2012-01-09T12:52:08+00:00

During BKL removal in 2.6.38, conversion of files from in-ICB format to normal
format got broken. We call ->writepage with i_data_sem held but udf_get_block()
also acquires i_data_sem thus creating A-A deadlock.

We fix the problem by dropping i_data_sem before calling ->writepage() which is
safe since i_mutex still protects us against any changes in the file. Also fix
pagelock - i_data_sem lock inversion in udf_expand_file_adinicb() by dropping
i_data_sem before calling find_or_create_page().

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07+00:00

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

udf: Protect udf_file_aio_write from possible races

2011-01-06T16:03:57+00:00

Code doing conversion from INICB file to a normal file in udf_file_aio_write()
is not protected by any lock from other code modifying the inode. Use
i_alloc_sem for that.

udf: Remove unnecessary bkl usages

2011-01-06T16:03:57+00:00

The udf_readdir(), udf_lookup(), udf_create(), udf_mknod(), udf_mkdir(),
udf_rmdir(), udf_link(), udf_get_parent() and udf_unlink() seems already
adequately protected by i_mutex held by VFS invoking calls. The udf_rename()
instead should be already protected by lock_rename again by VFS. The
udf_ioctl(), udf_fill_super() and udf_evict_inode() don't requires any further
protection.

udf: Replace bkl with the UDF_I(inode)->i_data_sem for protect udf_inode_info struct

2011-01-06T16:03:56+00:00

Replace bkl with the UDF_I(inode)->i_data_sem rw semaphore in
udf_release_file(), udf_symlink(), udf_symlink_filler(), udf_get_block(),
udf_block_map(), and udf_setattr(). The rule now is that any operation
on regular file's or symlink's extents (or generally allocation information
including goal block) needs to hold i_data_sem.
