Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fs/ntfs3: don&#39;t hold ni_lock when calling truncate_setsize()<br />
<br />
syzbot is reporting hung task at do_user_addr_fault() [1], for there is<br />
a silent deadlock between PG_locked bit and ni_lock lock.<br />
<br />
Since filemap_update_page() calls filemap_read_folio() after calling<br />
folio_trylock() which will set PG_locked bit, ntfs_truncate() must not<br />
call truncate_setsize() which will wait for PG_locked bit to be cleared<br />
when holding ni_lock lock.
