In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to avoid potential deadlock

As Jiaming Zhang and syzbot reported, there is potential deadlock in f2fs as below:

Chain exists of: &sbi->cp_rwsem --> fs_reclaim --> sb_internal#2

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

   CPU0                    CPU1
   ----                    ----

rlock(sb_internal#2); lock(fs_reclaim); lock(sb_internal#2); rlock(&sbi->cp_rwsem);

*** DEADLOCK ***
