------------------------------------------------------ From: Wengang Wang wen.gang.wang@oracle.com Subject: fs/ocfs2: fix race in ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock()
ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() can be executed in parallel threads against the same dentry. Make that race safe. The race is like this:
thread A thread B
(A1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock, seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL, and no alias found by ocfs2_find_local_alias, so kmalloc a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure to local variable "dl", dl1
.....
(B1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock, seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL, and no alias found by ocfs2_find_local_alias so kmalloc a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure to local variable "dl", dl2.
......
(A2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl1, call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase dl1->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on success. ......
(B2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl2 call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on success.
......
(A3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock() and decrease dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 0 on success. ....
(B3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock(), decreasing dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders, but see it's zero now, panic
