Subject: [PATCH] fs: fserror: avoid igrab in atomic contexts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

fserror_report() can be called from softirq/atomic contexts (e.g. I/O
endio paths). Using igrab() there takes i_lock, which is also acquired
with softirqs enabled in process context, triggering lockdep warnings
and a potential softirq recursion deadlock.

All fserror_report() callers already hold a live reference to the inode,
so use ihold() to take a safe reference without grabbing i_lock.

From 7e7a6c0e2d9a2d7b9f9a4f5b1b0f2a1c7f0a1234 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Arnav Kapoor <ar...@example.com>
Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 17:35:00 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] fs: fserror: avoid igrab in atomic contexts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

fserror_report() can be called from softirq/atomic contexts. Using
igrab() there takes i_lock, which is also acquired with softirqs enabled
in process context, triggering lockdep warnings and a potential softirq
recursion deadlock.

All fserror_report() callers already hold a live reference to the inode,
so use ihold() to take a safe reference without grabbing i_lock.
