ovl: fix deadlock in splice write
There's possibility of an ABBA deadlock in case of a splice write to an overlayfs file and a concurrent splice write to a corresponding real file. The call chain for splice to an overlay file: -> do_splice [takes sb_writers on overlay file] -> do_splice_from -> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex] -> vfs_iter_write ... -> ovl_write_iter [takes sb_writers on real file] And the call chain for splice to a real file: -> do_splice [takes sb_writers on real file] -> do_splice_from -> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex] Syzbot successfully bisected this to commit 82a763e61e2b ("ovl: simplify file splice"). Fix by reverting the write part of the above commit and by adding missing bits from ovl_write_iter() into ovl_splice_write(). Fixes: 82a763e61e2b ("ovl: simplify file splice") Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+579885d1a9a833336209@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
