ksmbd: fix recursive locking in vfs helpers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 807252f ]

Running smb2.rename test from Samba smbtorture suite against a kernel built
with lockdep triggers a "possible recursive locking detected" warning.

This is because mnt_want_write() is called twice with no mnt_drop_write()
in between:
  -> ksmbd_vfs_mkdir()
    -> ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_create()
       -> kern_path_create()
          -> filename_create()
            -> mnt_want_write()
       -> mnt_want_write()

Fix this by removing the mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write calls from vfs
helpers that call kern_path_create().

Full lockdep trace below:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
6.6.0-rc5 torvalds#775 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
kworker/1:1/32 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888005ac83f8 (sb_writers#5){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: ksmbd_vfs_mkdir+0xe1/0x410

but task is already holding lock:
ffff888005ac83f8 (sb_writers#5){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: filename_create+0xb6/0x260

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(sb_writers#5);
  lock(sb_writers#5);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
