Linux kernel source tree
0a69b6b3a0
A syzkaller reproducer found a race while attempting to remove dquot
information from the rb tree.
Fetching the rb_tree root node must also be protected by the
dqopt->dqio_sem, otherwise, giving the right timing, shmem_release_dquot()
will trigger a warning because it couldn't find a node in the tree, when
the real reason was the root node changing before the search starts:
Thread 1 Thread 2
- shmem_release_dquot() - shmem_{acquire,release}_dquot()
- fetch ROOT - Fetch ROOT
- acquire dqio_sem
- wait dqio_sem
- do something, triger a tree rebalance
- release dqio_sem
- acquire dqio_sem
- start searching for the node, but
from the wrong location, missing
the node, and triggering a warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
