We don't need acls on xattr inodes because they are not directly accessible from user mode. Besides lockdep complains about recursive locking of xattr_sem as seen below. ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 4.11.0-rc8+ #402 Not tainted --------------------------------------------- python/1894 is trying to acquire lock: (&ei->xattr_sem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff804878a6>] ext4_xattr_get+0x66/0x270 but task is already holding lock: (&ei->xattr_sem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff80489500>] ext4_xattr_set_handle+0xa0/0x5d0 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&ei->xattr_sem); lock(&ei->xattr_sem); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 3 locks held by python/1894: #0: (sb_writers#10){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff803d829f>] mnt_want_write+0x1f/0x50 #1: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#15){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff803dda27>] vfs_setxattr+0x57/0xb0 #2: (&ei->xattr_sem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff80489500>] ext4_xattr_set_handle+0xa0/0x5d0 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 1894 Comm: python Not tainted 4.11.0-rc8+ #402 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x67/0x99 __lock_acquire+0x5f3/0x1830 lock_acquire+0xb5/0x1d0 down_read+0x2f/0x60 ext4_xattr_get+0x66/0x270 ext4_get_acl+0x43/0x1e0 get_acl+0x72/0xf0 posix_acl_create+0x5e/0x170 ext4_init_acl+0x21/0xc0 __ext4_new_inode+0xffd/0x16b0 ext4_xattr_set_entry+0x5ea/0xb70 ext4_xattr_block_set+0x1b5/0x970 ext4_xattr_set_handle+0x351/0x5d0 ext4_xattr_set+0x124/0x180 ext4_xattr_user_set+0x34/0x40 __vfs_setxattr+0x66/0x80 __vfs_setxattr_noperm+0x69/0x1c0 vfs_setxattr+0xa2/0xb0 setxattr+0x129/0x160 path_setxattr+0x87/0xb0 SyS_setxattr+0xf/0x20 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
