Subject[PATCH][RESEND] vfs: protect file->f_sb_err with f_lock
Date
When I added the ability for syncfs to report writeback errors, I
neglected to adequately protect file->f_sb_err. We could have racing
updates to that value if two tasks are issuing syncfs() on the same
fd at the same time.

Fix this by protecting the f_sb_err field with the file->f_lock,
similarly to how the f_wb_err field is protected.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.8+
Fixes: 735e4ae5ba28 (vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs)

I sent this a couple of weeks ago, but no one picked it up. No changes
from the original posting, but added the Fixes tag and marked it for
stable.
