From: Chao Yu yuchao0@huawei.com
[ Upstream commit 21020812c9e1ab593367fad9ce579f842a0b406d ]
test/generic/208 reports a potential deadlock as below:
Chain exists of: &mm->mmap_sem --> &fi->i_mmap_sem --> &fi->dio_rwsem[WRITE]
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&fi->dio_rwsem[WRITE]); lock(&fi->i_mmap_sem); lock(&fi->dio_rwsem[WRITE]); lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
This patch changes the lock dependency as below in fallocate() to fix this issue: - dio_rwsem - i_mmap_sem
