commit e7850f4d844e0acfac7e570af611d89deade3146 upstream.
There is a deadlock in bm_register_write:
First, in the begining of the function, a lock is taken on the binfmt_misc
root inode with inode_lock(d_inode(root)).
Then, if the user used the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag, the function will call
open_exec on the user-provided interpreter.
open_exec will call a path lookup, and if the path lookup process includes
the root of binfmt_misc, it will try to take a shared lock on its inode
again, but it is already locked, and the code will get stuck in a deadlock
To reproduce the bug:
$ echo ":iiiii:E::ii::/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/bla:F" > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
backtrace of where the lock occurs (#5):

To solve the issue, the open_exec call is moved to before the write
lock is taken by bm_register_write

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
