In cachefiles_check_volume_xattr(), the error returned by vfs_getxattr() is not passed to ret, so it ends up returning -ESTALE, which leads to an endless loop as follows: cachefiles_acquire_volume retry: ret = cachefiles_check_volume_xattr ret = -ESTALE xlen = vfs_getxattr // return -EIO // The ret is not updated when xlen < 0, so -ESTALE is returned. return ret // Supposed to jump out of the loop at this judgement. if (ret != -ESTALE) goto error_dir; cachefiles_bury_object // EIO causes rename failure goto retry; Hence propagate the error returned by vfs_getxattr() to avoid the above issue. Do the same in cachefiles_check_auxdata().
