When running the Connectathon basic tests against a Solaris NFS server over NFSv4.0, test5 reports that stat(2) returns a file size of zero instead of 1MB. On success, nfs_commit_inode() can return a positive result; see other call sites such as nfs_file_fsync_commit() and nfs_commit_unstable_pages(). The call site recently added in nfs_wb_all() does not prevent that positive return value from leaking to its callers. If it leaks through nfs_sync_inode() back to nfs_getattr(), that causes stat(2) to return a positive return value to user space while also not filling in the passed-in struct stat. Additional clean up: the new logic in nfs_wb_all() is rewritten in bfields-normal form. Fixes: 5bb89b4702e2 ("NFSv4.1/pnfs: Separate out metadata . . .")

I've tested with xfstests and Connectathon over NFSv4.0 against Solaris and Linux NFS servers. fs/nfs/write.c | 13 ++++++++----- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/nfs/write.c b/fs/nfs/write.c index d12a4be..dfc19f1 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/write.c +++ b/fs/nfs/write.c @@ -1845,12 +1845,15 @@ int nfs_wb_all(struct inode *inode) trace_nfs_writeback_inode_enter(inode); ret = filemap_write_and_wait(inode->i_mapping); - if (!ret) { - ret = nfs_commit_inode(inode, FLUSH_SYNC); - if (!ret) - pnfs_sync_inode(inode, true); - } + if (ret) + goto out; + ret = nfs_commit_inode(inode, FLUSH_SYNC); + if (ret < 0) + goto out; + pnfs_sync_inode(inode, true); + ret = 0; +out: trace_nfs_writeback_inode_exit(inode, ret); return ret; } -- 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
