Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] f2fs: fix to avoid potential deadloop in f2fs_fsync_node_pages()
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 08:36:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912123622.2633797-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090958-easing-frolic-badd@gregkh>

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
