commit9b91b6b019upstream. There's possibility of an ABBA deadlock in case of a splice write to an overlayfs file and a concurrent splice write to a corresponding real file. The call chain for splice to an overlay file: -> do_splice [takes sb_writers on overlay file] -> do_splice_from -> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex] -> vfs_iter_write ... -> ovl_write_iter [takes sb_writers on real file] And the call chain for splice to a real file: -> do_splice [takes sb_writers on real file] -> do_splice_from -> iter_file_splice_write [takes pipe->mutex] Syzbot successfully bisected this to commit82a763e61e("ovl: simplify file splice"). Fix by reverting the write part of the above commit and by adding missing bits from ovl_write_iter() into ovl_splice_write().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
