DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: fix possible deadlock when holding Fwb to get inline_data 1, mount with wsync. 2, create a file with O_RDWR, and the request was sent to mds.0: ceph_atomic_open()--> ceph_mdsc_do_request(openc) finish_open(file, dentry, ceph_open)--> ceph_open()--> ceph_init_file()--> ceph_init_file_info()--> ceph_uninline_data()--> { ... if (inline_version == 1 || /* initial version, no data */ inline_version == CEPH_INLINE_NONE) goto out_unlock; ... } The inline_version will be 1, which is the initial version for the new create file. And here the ci->i_inline_version will keep with 1, it's buggy. 3, buffer write to the file immediately: ceph_write_iter()--> ceph_get_caps(file, need=Fw, want=Fb, ...); generic_perform_write()--> a_ops->write_begin()--> ceph_write_begin()--> netfs_write_begin()--> netfs_begin_read()--> netfs_rreq_submit_slice()--> netfs_read_from_server()--> rreq->netfs_ops->issue_read()--> ceph_netfs_issue_read()--> { ... if (ci->i_inline_version != CEPH_INLINE_NONE && ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline(subreq)) return; ... } ceph_put_cap_refs(ci, Fwb); The ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline() will send a getattr(Fsr) request to mds.1. 4, then the mds.1 will request the rd lock for CInode::filelock from the auth mds.0, the mds.0 will do the CInode::filelock state transation from excl --> sync, but it need to revoke the Fxwb caps back from the clients. While the kernel client has aleady held the Fwb caps and waiting for the getattr(Fsr). It's deadlock! URL: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/55377
