[PATCH 6.6.y] gfs2: Fix unlikely race in gdlm_put_lock

From: Robert Garcia <hidden>
Date: 2026-03-26 08:00:34
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), gfs2 file system, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Andreas Gruenbacher, Linus Torvalds

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 28c4d9bc0708956c1a736a9e49fee71b65deee81 ]

In gdlm_put_lock(), there is a small window of time in which the
DFL_UNMOUNT flag has been set but the lockspace hasn't been released,
yet.  In that window, dlm may still call gdlm_ast() and gdlm_bast().
To prevent it from dereferencing freed glock objects, only free the
glock if the lockspace has actually been released.
