Subject: [PATCH] vfs: protect updates to file->f_sb_err with f_lock
Date: Thu,  3 Dec 2020 14:10:35 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201203191035.1162408-1-jlayton@kernel.org> (raw)

When I added the ability for syncfs to report writeback errors, I
neglected to adequately protect file->f_sb_err. We could have racing
updates to that value if two tasks are issuing syncfs() on the same
fd at the same time.

Fix this by protecting the f_sb_err field with the file->f_lock.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.8+
Fixes: 735e4ae5ba28 ("vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs")
