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 -&gt; transaction start. Fix the lock<br /> ordering by moving the locking of the directory earlier in<br /> ext4_rename().
