[PATCH 4.4 18/20] af_unix: move unix_mknod() out of bindlock

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 02 2017 - 13:34:36 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 0fb44559ffd67de8517098b81f675fa0210f13f0 ]

Dmitry reported a deadlock scenario:

unix_bind() path:
u->bindlock ==> sb_writer

do_splice() path:
sb_writer ==> pipe->mutex ==> u->bindlock

In the unix_bind() code path, unix_mknod() does not have to
be done with u->bindlock held, since it is a pure fs operation,
so we can just move unix_mknod() out.
