Subject: [PATCH v4 18/21] afs: Fix lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:08:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622090856.2746629-19-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622090856.2746629-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
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
