Subject: [PATCH v4] ocfs2: avoid potential ABBA deadlock by reordering tl_inode lock
Date: Mon,  7 Jul 2025 22:06:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250708020640.387741-1-ipravdin.official@gmail.com> (raw)

In ocfs2_move_extent(), tl_inode is currently locked after the global
bitmap inode. However, in ocfs2_flush_truncate_log(), the lock order
is reversed: tl_inode is locked first, followed by the global bitmap
inode.

This creates a classic ABBA deadlock scenario if two threads attempt
these operations concurrently and acquire the locks in different orders.

To prevent this, move the tl_inode locking earlier in
ocfs2_move_extent(), so that it always precedes the global bitmap
inode lock.

No functional changes beyond lock ordering.

v1 -> v2: Fixed unlocking order in ocfs2_move_extent.
v2 -> v3: Added missing out_unlock_tl_inode and renamed out_unlock_gb_mutex to                                                                                  
          out_unlock_gb_inode and out_unlock_gb_inode to out_unlock.
v3 -> v4: Rearranged gb_inode cleanup.
