Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ext4: Fix deadlock during directory rename<br />
<br />
As lockdep properly warns, we should not be locking i_rwsem while having<br />
transactions started as the proper lock ordering used by all directory<br />
handling operations is i_rwsem -> transaction start. Fix the lock<br />
ordering by moving the locking of the directory earlier in<br />
ext4_rename().
