Subject: ocfs2: fix possible deadlock between unlink and dio_end_io_write
Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2026 11:22:11 +0800
ocfs2_unlink takes orphan dir inode_lock first and then ip_alloc_sem,
while in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write, it acquires these locks in reverse order.
This creates an ABBA lock ordering violation on lock classes
ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE] and
ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key.
Lock Chain #0 (orphan dir inode_lock -> ip_alloc_sem):
ocfs2_unlink
ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir
ocfs2_lookup_lock_orphan_dir
inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) <- lock A
__ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir
ocfs2_prepare_dir_for_insert
ocfs2_extend_dir
ocfs2_expand_inline_dir
down_write(&oi->ip_alloc_sem) <- Lock B
Lock Chain #1 (ip_alloc_sem -> orphan dir inode_lock):
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
down_write(&oi->ip_alloc_sem) <- Lock B
ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan()
inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) <- Lock A
Deadlock Scenario:
CPU0 (unlink) CPU1 (dio_end_io_write)
------ ------
inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode)
down_write(ip_alloc_sem)
down_write(ip_alloc_sem)
inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode)
Since ip_alloc_sem is to protect allocation changes, which is unrelated
with operations in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan. So move
ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan out of ip_alloc_sem to fix the deadlock.
