[PATCH 1/1] NFSv4.1 fix a kswap nfs4_state_manger race

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

 



From: Andy Adamson <andros@xxxxxxxxxx>

The state manager is recovering expired state and recovery OPENs are being
processed. If kswapd is pruning inodes at the same time, a deadlock can occur
when kswapd calls evict_inode on an NFSv4.1 inode with a layout, and the
resultant layoutreturn gets an error that the state mangager is to handle,
causing the layoutreturn to wait on the (NFS client) cl_rpcwaitq.

At the same time an open is waiting for the inode deletion to complete in
__wait_on_freeing_inode.

If the open is either the open called by the state manager, or an open from
the same open owner that is holding the NFSv4.0 sequence id which causes the
OPEN from the state manager to wait for the sequence id on the Seqid_waitqueue,
then the state is deadlocked with kswapd.

Do not handle LAYOUTRETURN errors when called from nfs4_evict_inode.
