Chris Dunlop reports a problem where an xattr operation fails, reports the following error to syslog and hangs during unmount: ================================================ [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ] ... ------------------------------------------------ <PID> is leaving the kernel with locks still held! 1 lock held by <PID>: #0: (sb_internal){......}, at: [<ffffffffa07692a3>] xfs_trans_alloc+0xe3/0x130 [xfs] The failure/shutdown occurs during deferred ops processing which leads to an error return from xfs_defer_finish() via xfs_attr_leaf_addname(). While the root cause of the failure is unknown corruption, the cause of the subsequent BUG above and unmount hang is failure to cancel the transaction before returning to userspace. The transaction is not cancelled because the out_defer_cancel error handling paths in the xfs_attr_[leaf|node]_[add|remove]name() functions clear args.trans without releasing the transaction. The callers therefore lose the reference to the transaction and fail to cancel it. Since xfs_attr_[set|remove]() always cancel args.trans when != NULL and xfs_defer_finish()->...->xfs_trans_roll() should always return with a valid transaction, update the leaf/node xattr functions to not reset args.trans in the error path responsible for cancelling deferred ops.

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.
