[PATCH 2/2] lockd: don't depend on lockd main loop to end grace

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

 



End lockd's grace period using schedule_delayed_work() instead of a
check on every pass through the main loop.

After a later patch, we'll depend on lockd to end its grace period even
if it's not currently handling requests; so it shouldn't depend on being
woken up from the main loop to do so.

Also, Nakano Hiroaki (who independently produced a similar patch)
noticed that the current behavior is buggy in the face of jiffies
wraparound:

	"lockd uses time_before() to determine whether the grace period
	has expired. This would seem to be enough to avoid timer
	wrap-around issues, but, unfortunately, that is not the case.
	The time_* family of comparison functions can be safely used to
	compare jiffies relatively close in time, but they stop working
	after approximately LONG_MAX/2 ticks. nfsd can suffer this
	problem because the time_before() comparison in lockd() is not
	performed until the first request comes in, which means that if
	there is no lockd traffic for more than LONG_MAX/2 ticks we are
	screwed.

	"The implication of this is that once time_before() starts
	misbehaving any attempt from a NFS client to execute fcntl()
	will be received with a NLM_LCK_DENIED_GRACE_PERIOD message for
	25 days (assuming HZ=1000). In other words, the 50 seconds grace
	period could turn into a grace period of 50 days or more.

	"Note: This bug was analyzed independently by Oda-san
	<oda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and myself."
