    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ocfs2: fix possible deadlock between unlink and dio_end_io_write

    ocfs2_unlink takes orphan dir inode_lock first and then ip_alloc_sem,
    while in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write, it acquires these locks in reverse order.
    This creates an ABBA lock ordering violation on lock classes
    ocfs2_sysfile_lock_key[ORPHAN_DIR_SYSTEM_INODE] and
    ocfs2_file_ip_alloc_sem_key.

    Lock Chain #0 (orphan dir inode_lock -> ip_alloc_sem):
    ocfs2_unlink
      ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir
        ocfs2_lookup_lock_orphan_dir
          inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) <- lock A
        __ocfs2_prepare_orphan_dir
          ocfs2_prepare_dir_for_insert
            ocfs2_extend_dir
              ocfs2_expand_inline_dir
                down_write(&oi->ip_alloc_sem) <- Lock B

    Lock Chain #1 (ip_alloc_sem -> orphan dir inode_lock):
    ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
      down_write(&oi->ip_alloc_sem) <- Lock B
      ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan()
        inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode) <- Lock A

    Deadlock Scenario:
      CPU0 (unlink)                     CPU1 (dio_end_io_write)
      ------                            ------
      inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode)
                                        down_write(ip_alloc_sem)
      down_write(ip_alloc_sem)
                                        inode_lock(orphan_dir_inode)

    Since ip_alloc_sem is to protect allocation changes, which is unrelated
    with operations in ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan.  So move
    ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan out of ip_alloc_sem to fix the deadlock.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
