Commit Message

Liu Song Oct. 12, 2017, 12:56 a.m. UTC 
In jffs2_do_setattr, we hold two mutexes which are 
A) c->alloc_sem 
B) f->sem 
If new_metadata is error, then we release mutexes in bad sequence 
which could cause ABAB deadlock. 
This patch adjusts release sequence which could avoid deadlock.
