Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix deadlock between dio write and orphan dir inode lock
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


The following deadlock is detected by PREEMPT_RT's rtmutex detector:

  Thread 1 (pwritev2 -> ocfs2_file_write_iter):
    inode_lock(file_inode)            <- held here
      ocfs2_dio_end_io_write()
        ocfs2_inode_lock()            <- cluster lock
          ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan()
            inode_lock(orphan_dir)    <- deadlock!

  Thread 2 (recovery path):
    inode_lock(orphan_dir)            <- held first
      inode_lock(file_inode)          <- reverse order!

ocfs2_file_write_iter() acquires inode_lock(file_inode) and holds it
across the entire write including the synchronous DIO completion
callback ocfs2_dio_end_io_write(). When dwc->dw_orphaned is set,
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() calls ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() which
acquires inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode), creating an AB-BA lock
inversion with recovery paths that acquire orphan_dir lock first.

Fix this by:
- Saving the orphaned state before releasing locks
- Moving ocfs2_inode_unlock() and brelse(di_bh) BEFORE the call to
  ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write()
- Passing NULL for di_bh to ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan() to signal
  it should acquire its own cluster lock and di_bh internally
- In ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan(), changing di initialization from
  a declaration+assignment to just a declaration, then acquiring a
  fresh ocfs2_inode_lock() when di_bh is NULL, and releasing it
  in the bail path
