ubifs: Fix deadlock in concurrent bulk-read and writepage
commit f5de5b83303e61b1f3fb09bd77ce3ac2d7a475f2 upstream.
In ubifs, concurrent execution of writepage and bulk read on the same file
may cause ABBA deadlock, for example (Reproduce method see Link):
Process A(Bulk-read starts from page4) Process B(write page4 back)
vfs_read wb_workfn or fsync
... ...
generic_file_buffered_read write_cache_pages
ubifs_readpage LOCK(page4)
ubifs_bulk_read ubifs_writepage
LOCK(ui->ui_mutex) ubifs_write_inode
ubifs_do_bulk_read LOCK(ui->ui_mutex)
find_or_create_page(alloc page4) ↑
LOCK(page4) <-- ABBA deadlock occurs!
In order to ensure the serialization execution of bulk read, we can't
remove the big lock 'ui->ui_mutex' in ubifs_bulk_read(). Instead, we
allow ubifs_do_bulk_read() to lock page failed by replacing
find_or_create_page(FGP_LOCK) with
pagecache_get_page(FGP_LOCK | FGP_NOWAIT).
