From d1aa0c04294e29883d65eac6c2f72fe95cc7c049 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2024 16:57:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: revert "mm: shmem: fix data-race in shmem_getattr()" Revert d949d1d14fa2 ("mm: shmem: fix data-race in shmem_getattr()") as suggested by Chuck [1]. It is causing deadlocks when accessing tmpfs over NFS. As Hugh commented, "added just to silence a syzbot sanitizer splat: added where there has never been any practical problem".
