[PATCH v2] locks: eliminate false positive conflicts for write lease

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

 



check_conflicting_open() is checking for existing fd's open for read or
for write before allowing to take a write lease.  The check that was
implemented using i_count and d_count is an approximation that has
several false positives.  For example, overlayfs since v4.19, takes an
extra reference on the dentry; An open with O_PATH takes a reference on
the dentry although the file cannot be read nor written.

Change the implementation to use i_readcount and i_writecount to
eliminate the false positive conflicts and allow a write lease to be
taken on an overlayfs file.

The change of behavior with existing fd's open with O_PATH is symmetric
w.r.t. current behavior of lease breakers - an open with O_PATH currently
does not break a write lease.

This increases the size of struct inode by 4 bytes on 32bit archs when
CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING is defined and CONFIG_IMA was not already
defined.

Miklos, Jeff and Bruce,

This patch fixes a v4.19 overlayfs regression with taking write
leases. It also provides correct semantics w.r.t RDONLY open counter
that Bruce also needed for nfsd.

Since this is locks code that fixes an overlayfs regression which
is also needed for nfsd, it could go via either of your trees.
I didn't want to pick sides, so first one to grab the patch wins ;-)

I verified the changes using modified LTP F_SETLEASE tests [1],
which I ran over xfs and overlayfs.

Thanks,
Amir.

Changes since v1:
- Drop patch to fold i_readcount into i_count
- Make i_readcount depend on CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING
