[PATCH v6 3/3] ext4: defer iput() on ea_inodes to reduce lock holding scope
From: Yun Zhou
Date: Mon Jun 15 2026 - 12:40:43 EST
ext4_xattr_block_set(), ext4_xattr_ibody_set() and ext4_xattr_set_entry()
call iput() on ea_inodes while xattr_sem and a jbd2 handle are held.
This creates an unnecessarily wide lock scope and, without the preceding
!SB_ACTIVE guard, could trigger write_inode_now() -> s_writepages_rwsem
creating a circular dependency.
Structurally eliminate iput-under-xattr_sem by collecting ea_inodes into
a deferred-iput array and releasing them after locks are dropped:
1. Convert all iput(ea_inode) calls within ext4_xattr_set_entry(),
ext4_xattr_ibody_set(), and ext4_xattr_block_set() to deferred iput
via ext4_expand_inode_array(). Thread the ea_inode_array through
ext4_xattr_set_handle(), ext4_xattr_move_to_block(), and
ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() as an output parameter.
2. Callers that own the journal handle (ext4_xattr_set,
ext4_expand_extra_isize, ext4_inline_data_truncate) free the array
AFTER ext4_journal_stop(). For ext4_try_to_expand_extra_isize
(called from __ext4_mark_inode_dirty with the caller's handle),
free after xattr_sem release -- safe because the preceding patches
block the !SB_ACTIVE path.
3. Callers that cannot control the handle lifetime (ext4_initxattrs,
__ext4_set_acl, ext4_set_context, ext4_create_inline_data,
ext4_update_inline_data, ext4_destroy_inline_data_nolock) pass NULL.
ext4_expand_inode_array() falls back to synchronous iput() when
ea_inode_array is NULL -- safe because these callers only run with
SB_ACTIVE where iput cannot trigger write_inode_now().
4. Use __GFP_NOFAIL in ext4_expand_inode_array() to guarantee the
deferred-iput array never fails to grow, eliminating any fallback
to synchronous iput() under locks.
5. Pass ea_inode_array directly to ext4_xattr_release_block() in
ext4_xattr_block_set() instead of using a local array freed
synchronously under xattr_sem.
