jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in jffs2_write_begin
jffs2_write_begin() first acquires the page lock, then f->sem. This causes an AB-BA deadlock with jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), which first acquires f->sem, then the page lock: jffs2_garbage_collect_live mutex_lock(&f->sem) (A) jffs2_garbage_collect_dnode jffs2_gc_fetch_page read_cache_page_async do_read_cache_page lock_page(page) (B) jffs2_write_begin grab_cache_page_write_begin find_lock_page lock_page(page) (B) mutex_lock(&f->sem) (A) We fix this by restructuring jffs2_write_begin() to take f->sem before the page lock. However, we make sure that f->sem is not held when calling jffs2_reserve_space(), as this is not permitted by the locking rules. The deadlock above was observed multiple times on an SoC with a dual ARMv7 (Cortex-A9), running the long-term 3.4.11 kernel; it occurred when using scp to copy files from a host system to the ARM target system. The fix was heavily tested on the same target system.
