commit be99ca2716972a712cde46092c54dee5e6192bf8 upstream.
ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock() can be executed in parallel threads against the
same dentry. Make that race safe. The race is like this:
thread A thread B
(A1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock,
seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL,
and no alias found by
ocfs2_find_local_alias, so kmalloc
a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure
to local variable "dl", dl1
.....
(B1) enter ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock,
seeing dentry->d_fsdata is NULL,
and no alias found by
ocfs2_find_local_alias so kmalloc
a new ocfs2_dentry_lock structure
to local variable "dl", dl2.
......
(A2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl1,
call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase
dl1->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on
success.
......
(B2) set dentry->d_fsdata with dl2
call ocfs2_dentry_lock() and increase
dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 1 on
success.
......
(A3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock()
and decrease
dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders to 0
on success.
....
(B3) call ocfs2_dentry_unlock(),
decreasing
dl2->dl_lockres.l_ro_holders, but
see it's zero now, panic
