Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 8/9] afs: Fix lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 21:01:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730010140.1700208-8-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730010140.1700208-1-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
