  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ntfs: fix mrec_lock ABBA deadlock in rename  ntfs_file_fsync(), ntfs_dir_fsync() and __ntfs_write_inode() lock an inode\u0027s mrec_lock before taking the mrec_lock of its parent directory.  ntfs_rename() takes old_ni-\u003Emrec_lock and old_dir_ni-\u003Emrec_lock before taking new_ni-\u003Emrec_lock for an existing target, or new_dir_ni-\u003Emrec_lock for a cross-directory rename. This can deadlock when ntfs_file_fsync() or __ntfs_write_inode() holds the target inode, or when ntfs_dir_fsync() holds a child target directory, while rename() holds the parent directory and waits for the target.  Fix this by locking the existing target inode before taking any parent directory mrec_lock. For cross-directory renames where the target parent is a descendant of the source parent, lock the target parent before the source parent so the directory order matches the child-to-parent order used by ntfs_file_fsync(), ntfs_dir_fsync(), and __ntfs_write_inode().",
