From 2eebf582c9b3106abb9c33f4fc0a347fb9391037 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2010 12:25:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fanotify: flush outstanding perm requests on group destroy When an fanotify listener is closing it may cause a deadlock between the listener and the original task doing an fs operation. If the original task is waiting for a permissions response it will be holding the srcu lock. The listener cannot clean up and exit until after that srcu lock is syncronized. Thus deadlock. The fix introduced here is to stop accepting new permissions events when a listener is shutting down and to grant permission for all outstanding events. Thus the original task will eventually release the srcu lock and the listener can complete shutdown.
