commit 2105c2820d366b76f38e6ad61c75771881ecc532 upstream.
AFS directories are retained locally as a structured file, with lookup
being effected by a local search of the file contents. When a modification
(such as mkdir) happens, the dir file content is modified locally rather
than redownloading the directory.
The directory contents are accessed in a number of ways, with a number of
different locks schemes:
(1) Download of contents - dvnode->validate_lock/write in afs_read_dir().
(2) Lookup and readdir - dvnode->validate_lock/read in afs_dir_iterate(),
downgrading from (1) if necessary.
(3) d_revalidate of child dentry - dvnode->validate_lock/read in
afs_do_lookup_one() downgrading from (1) if necessary.
(4) Edit of dir after modification - page locks on individual dir pages.
Unfortunately, because (4) uses different locking scheme to (1) - (3),
nothing protects against the page being scanned whilst the edit is
underway. Even download is not safe as it doesn't lock the pages - relying
instead on the validate_lock to serialise as a whole (the theory being that
directory contents are treated as a block and always downloaded as a
block).
Fix this by write-locking dvnode->validate_lock around the edits. Care
must be taken in the rename case as there may be two different dirs - but
they need not be locked at the same time. In any case, once the lock is
taken, the directory version must be rechecked, and the edit skipped if a
later version has been downloaded by revalidation (there can't have been
any local changes because the VFS holds the inode lock, but there can have
been remote changes).

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 Restructured Text 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.
