Subject: [PATCH 09/28] xfs: don't hold buffer locks across sync transaction commit in xfs_sync_sb_buf
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 13:06:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029120631.803074-10-aalbersh@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029120631.803074-1-aalbersh@kernel.org>

From: Yun Zhou <yun.zhou@windriver.com>

Source kernel commit: 41a28c865d1d5843f8cb9e0af17a8f4d9e2961ff

xfs_sync_sb_buf() holds sb/rtsb buffer locks across a synchronous
xfs_trans_commit(), which flushes the CIL push workqueue internally.
If shutdown occurs during the CIL push, xfs_buf_item_unpin() needs to
lock these buffers to fail them, causing a deadlock:

setlabel:          holds buf lock -> flush_workqueue(xfs-cil)
CIL push worker:   xfs_buf_item_unpin -> xfs_buf_lock(same buf)

Remove the xfs_trans_bhold() calls so that commit releases the buffer
locks normally.  After the sync commit, re-acquire the buffers via
mp->m_sb_bp / mp->m_rtsb_bp for the on-disk writeback.

Fixes: f7664b31975b ("xfs: implement online get/set fs label")
Reported-by: syzbot+837bcd54843dd6262f2f@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
