[RFC PATCH v2] cifs: Fix cifsInodeInfo lock_sem deadlock with multiple readers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch applies on 5.4-rc4 plus Pavel's patch:
"CIFS: Fix retry mid list corruption on reconnects"

v2 Changes
* In the original version I had erroneously moved lock_sem
inside cifs_find_lock_conflict but the lock_sem should be
taken in the caller of that function not inside it.
* I have started to run some basic locking tests with 
disruptions of the server and they run ok so far.


There's a deadlock that is possible that can easily be seen with
multiple readers open/read/close of the same file.  The deadlock
is due to a reader calling down_read(lock_sem) and holding
it across the full IO, even if a network or server disruption
occurs and the session has to be reconnected.  Upon reconnect,
cifs_relock_file is called where down_read(lock_sem) is called
a second time.  Normally this is not a problem, but if there is
another process that calls down_write(lock_sem) in between the
first and second reader call to down_read(lock_sem), this will
cause a deadlock.  The caller of down_write (often either
_cifsFileInfo_put that is just removing and freeing cifsLockInfo
structures from the list of locks, or cifs_new_fileinfo, which
is just attaching cifs_fid_locks to cifsInodeInfo->llist), will
block due to the reader's first down_read(lock_sem) that obtains
the semaphore (read IO in flight).  And then when the server
comes back up, the reader that holds calls down_read(lock_sem)
a second time, and this time is blocked too because of the
blocked in down_write (rw_semaphores would starve writers if
this was not the case).  Interestingly enough, the callers of
down_write in the simple test case was not adding a
conflicting lock at all, just either opening or closing the
file, and modifying the list of locks attached to cifsInodeInfo,
this ends up tripping up the reader process and causing the
deadlock.

The root of the problem is that lock_sem both protects the
cifsInodeInfo fields (such as the lllist - the list of locks),
but is also being re-used to prevent a conflicting lock added
while IO is in flight.  Add a new semaphore that tracks
just the IO in flight, and must be obtained before adding
a new lock.  While this does add another layer of complexity
and a semaphore ordering that must be obeyed to avoid new
deadlocks, it does clealy solve the underlying problem of
the deadlock and double call to down_read by the same thread.

Due to the removal of the possibility of a thread calling
down_read(lock_sem) twice, this patch also reverts
560d388950ce ("CIFS: silence lockdep splat in cifs_relock_file()")
