stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.270 commit efaa0ca678f56d47316a08030b2515678cebbc50 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6DPF8 CVE: NA
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit a44e84a9b7764c72896f7241a0ec9ac7e7ef38dd ]
When manipulating xattr blocks, we can deadlock infinitely looping inside ext4_xattr_block_set() where we constantly keep finding xattr block for reuse in mbcache but we are unable to reuse it because its reference count is too big. This happens because cache entry for the xattr block is marked as reusable (e_reusable set) although its reference count is too big. When this inconsistency happens, this inconsistent state is kept indefinitely and so ext4_xattr_block_set() keeps retrying indefinitely.
The inconsistent state is caused by non-atomic update of e_reusable bit. e_reusable is part of a bitfield and e_reusable update can race with update of e_referenced bit in the same bitfield resulting in loss of one of the updates. Fix the problem by using atomic bitops instead.
This bug has been around for many years, but it became *much* easier to hit after commit 65f8b80053a1 ("ext4: fix race when reusing xattr blocks").
