Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ksmbd: protect SET_INFO metadata updates against filesystem freezing
Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2026 18:47:36 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261115094737.8532-1-linkinjeon@kernel.org> (raw)
SET_INFO calls notify_change() and set_posix_acl() without a mount write
reference. During a filesystem freeze, these updates can reach ext4
without the usual freeze protection and trigger WARN_ON() in
ext4_journal_check_start().
Hold a write reference around the metadata updates. Drop it before storing
the security descriptor xattrs, whose helpers acquire their own references.
Fixes: e2f34481b24d ("cifsd: add server-side procedures for SMB3")
