vfs: fix deadlock in file_remove_privs() on overlayfs
commit c1892c37769cf89c7e7ba57528ae2ccb5d153c9b upstream. file_remove_privs() is called with inode lock on file_inode(), which proceeds to calling notify_change() on file->f_path.dentry. Which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE(!inode_is_locked(inode)) in addition to deadlocking later when ovl_setattr tries to lock the underlying inode again. Fix this mess by not mixing the layers, but doing everything on underlying dentry/inode. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com> Fixes: 07a2daab49c5 ("ovl: Copy up underlying inode's ->i_mode to overlay inode") Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
