[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: fix a deadlock during init_acl procedure

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Mon Oct 28 2013 - 01:08:55 EST


The deadlock is found through the following scenario.

sys_mkdir()
-> f2fs_add_link()
-> __f2fs_add_link()
-> init_inode_metadata()
: lock_page(inode);
-> f2fs_init_acl()
-> f2fs_set_acl()
-> f2fs_setxattr(..., NULL)
: This NULL page incurs a deadlock at update_inode_page().

So, likewise f2fs_init_security(), this patch adds a parameter to transfer the
locked inode page to f2fs_setxattr().

Found by Linux File System Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
