Subject: [116/165] ext4: dont return to userspace after freezing the fs with a mutex held
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:15:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100730171510.105264205@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100730171550.GA1299@kroah.com
2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
commit 6b0310fbf087ad6e9e3b8392adca97cd77184084 upstream (as of v2.6.34-git13)
ext4_freeze() used jbd2_journal_lock_updates() which takes
the j_barrier mutex, and then returns to userspace. The
kernel does not like this:
================================================
[ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ]
------------------------------------------------
lvcreate/1075 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
1 lock held by lvcreate/1075:
#0: (&journal->j_barrier){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff811c6214>]
jbd2_journal_lock_updates+0xe1/0xf0
Use vfs_check_frozen() added to ext4_journal_start_sb() and
ext4_force_commit() instead.
