[PATCH 0/3] nfsd: don't allow concurrent queueing of workqueue jobs

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

 



While looking at the problem that Li Lingfeng reported [1] around
callback queueing failures, I noticed that there were potential
scenarios where the callback workqueue jobs could run concurrently with
an rpc_task. Since they touch some of the same fields, this is incorrect
at best and potentially dangerous.

This patchset adds a new mechanism for ensuring that the same
nfsd4_callback can't run concurrently with itself, regardless of where
it is in its execution. This also gives us a more sure mechanism for
handling the places where we need to take and hold a reference on an
object while the callback is running.

This should also fix the problem that Li Lingfeng reported, since
queueing the work from nfsd4_cb_release() should never fail. Note that
the patch they sent earlier (fdf5c9413ea) should be dropped from
nfsd-testing before this will apply cleanly.
