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

    ext4: Fix deadlock during directory rename

    As lockdep properly warns, we should not be locking i_rwsem while having
    transactions started as the proper lock ordering used by all directory
    handling operations is i_rwsem -> transaction start. Fix the lock
    ordering by moving the locking of the directory earlier in
    ext4_rename().
