If we don't release the open seqid before we wait for state recovery, then we may end up deadlocking the state recovery thread. This patch addresses a new deadlock that was introduced by commit c21443c2c792cd9b463646d982b0fe48aa6feb0f (NFSv4: Fix a reboot recovery race when opening a file) Reported-by: Andy Adamson <andros@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c index 655237f..37eb385 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c @@ -1158,6 +1158,7 @@ _nfs4_opendata_to_nfs4_state(struct nfs4_opendata *data) data->o_arg.fmode); iput(inode); out: + nfs_release_seqid(data->o_arg.seqid); return state; err_put_inode: iput(inode); -- 1.8.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
