Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 8/8] afs: Fix lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 21:02:08 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730010208.1700694-8-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730010208.1700694-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 55e841836c6f4646490f7b0347192b7a92d431ba ]

Fix the lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino by
taking net->cells_lock exclusively.  This also requires to cell to be
removed from net->cells_dyn_ino in afs_destroy_cell_work() rather than in
afs_cell_destroy() as the latter runs in RCU cleanup context and sleeping
locks cannot be taken there.

Fixes: 1d0b929fc070 ("afs: Change dynroot to create contents on demand")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260618074903.2374756-1-dhowells%40redhat.com
