4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Miklos Szeredi <mszer...@redhat.com>
commit e71b9dff0634edb127f449e076e883ef24a8c76c upstream.
Ima tries to call ->setxattr() on overlayfs dentry after having locked
underlying inode, which results in a deadlock.
Reported-by: Krisztian Litkey <k...@iki.fi>
Fixes: 4bacc9c9234c ("overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and
f_inode to the underlay")
Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszer...@redhat.com>
