UBIFS: fix an mmap and fsync race condition
There is a race condition in UBIFS: Thread A (mmap) Thread B (fsync) ->__do_fault ->write_cache_pages -> ubifs_vm_page_mkwrite -> budget_space -> lock_page -> release/convert_page_budget -> SetPagePrivate -> TestSetPageDirty -> unlock_page -> lock_page -> TestClearPageDirty -> ubifs_writepage -> do_writepage -> release_budget -> ClearPagePrivate -> unlock_page -> !(ret & VM_FAULT_LOCKED) -> lock_page -> set_page_dirty -> ubifs_set_page_dirty -> TestSetPageDirty (set page dirty without budgeting) -> unlock_page This leads to situation where we have a diry page but no budget allocated for this page, so further write-back may fail with -ENOSPC. In this fix we return from page_mkwrite without performing unlock_page. We return VM_FAULT_LOCKED instead. After doing this, the race above will not happen.
