ovl: fix deadlock in splice write
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1953387
commit
9b91b6b019fda817eb52f728eb9c79b3579760bc upstream.
There's possibility of an ABBA deadlock in case of a splice write to an
overlayfs file and a concurrent splice write to a corresponding real file.
The call chain for splice to an overlay file:
-> do_splice [takes sb_writers on overlay file]
-> do_splice_from
-> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex]
-> vfs_iter_write
...
-> ovl_write_iter [takes sb_writers on real file]
And the call chain for splice to a real file:
-> do_splice [takes sb_writers on real file]
-> do_splice_from
-> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex]
Syzbot successfully bisected this to commit
82a763e61e2b ("ovl: simplify
file splice").
Fix by reverting the write part of the above commit and by adding missing
bits from ovl_write_iter() into ovl_splice_write().
