From 05f0e38724e8449184acd8fbf0473ee5a07adc6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 17:45:16 +0100 Subject: fanotify: Release SRCU lock when waiting for userspace response When userspace task processing fanotify permission events screws up and does not respond, fsnotify_mark_srcu SRCU is held indefinitely which causes further hangs in the whole notification subsystem. Although we cannot easily solve the problem of operations blocked waiting for response from userspace, we can at least somewhat localize the damage by dropping SRCU lock before waiting for userspace response and reacquiring it when userspace responds.
