[PATCH 5/8] afs: Fix possible infinite loop with unresponsive servers

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

 



From: Marc Dionne <marc.dionne@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

A return code of 0 from afs_wait_for_one_fs_probe is an indication
that the endpoint state attached to the operation is stale and has
been superseded.  In that case the iteration needs to be restarted
so that the newer probe result state gets used.

Failure to do so can result in an tight infinite loop around the
iterate_address label, where all addresses are thought to be responsive
and have been tried, with nothing to refresh the endpoint state.

Fixes: 495f2ae9e355 ("afs: Fix fileserver rotation")
