Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Commit 743b5f14 ("ocfs2: take inode lock in ocfs2_iop_set/get_acl()") results in a deadlock, as the author "Tariq Saeed" realized shortly after the patch was merged. The discussion happened here https://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-devel/2015-September/011085.html The reason why taking cluster inode lock at vfs entry points opens up a self deadlock window, is explained in the previous patch of this series. So far, we have seen two different code paths that have this issue. 1. do_sys_open may_open inode_permission ocfs2_permission ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR generic_permission get_acl ocfs2_iop_get_acl ocfs2_inode_lock() <=== take PR 2. fchmod|fchmodat chmod_common notify_change ocfs2_setattr <=== take EX posix_acl_chmod get_acl ocfs2_iop_get_acl <=== take PR ocfs2_iop_set_acl <=== take EX Fixes them by adding the tracking logic (in the previous patch) for these funcs above, ocfs2_permission(), ocfs2_iop_[set|get]_acl(), ocfs2_setattr().
