Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 6/6] f2fs: fix to avoid potential deadloop in f2fs_fsync_node_pages()
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 07:17:06 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912111706.2282608-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912111706.2282608-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit ce366bfa821ec81dd45bde547ee31e659306cc61 ]
There is potential deadloop in race condition:
Thread A Thread B
- fsync
- f2fs_do_sync_file
- f2fs_fsync_node_pages
- last_fsync_dnode
- folio_get(last_folio)
- f2fs_setattr
- f2fs_truncate
- f2fs_truncate_blocks
- f2fs_do_truncate_blocks
- f2fs_truncate_inode_blocks
- truncate_dnode
- truncate_node
- invalidate_mapping_pages
- folio->mapping = NULL
- is_node_folio alwasy return false
- atomic && !marked is always true,
then goto retry
