Our QE folks are noticing the old leftover locks WARN popping up in RHEL7 (it's since been removed). While investigating upstream, I found I could make this happen by locking, then closing and signaling a process in a loop: #0 [ffff88007a4874a0] __schedule at ffffffff81736d8a #1 [ffff88007a4874f0] schedule at ffffffff81737407 #2 [ffff88007a487510] do_exit at ffffffff8109e18f #3 [ffff88007a487590] oops_end at ffffffff8101822e #4 [ffff88007a4875c0] no_context at ffffffff81063b55 #5 [ffff88007a487630] __bad_area_nosemaphore at ffffffff81063e1b #6 [ffff88007a487680] bad_area_nosemaphore at ffffffff81063fa3 #7 [ffff88007a487690] __do_page_fault at ffffffff81064251 #8 [ffff88007a4876f0] trace_do_page_fault at ffffffff81064677 #9 [ffff88007a487730] do_async_page_fault at ffffffff8105ed0e #10 [ffff88007a487750] async_page_fault at ffffffff8173d078 [exception RIP: nfs4_put_lock_state+82] RIP: ffffffffa02dd5b2 RSP: ffff88007a487808 RFLAGS: 00010207 RAX: 0000003fffffffff RBX: ffff8800351d2000 RCX: 0000000000000024 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000009 RBP: ffff88007a487818 R8: 0000000000000000 R9: 0000000000000000 R10: 000000000000028b R11: 0000000000aaaaaa R12: ffff88003675e240 R13: ffff88003504d5b0 R14: ffff88007a487b30 R15: ffff880035097c40 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 #11 [ffff88007a487800] nfs4_put_lock_state at ffffffffa02dd59b [nfsv4] #12 [ffff88007a487820] nfs4_fl_release_lock at ffffffffa02dd605 [nfsv4] #13 [ffff88007a487830] locks_release_private at ffffffff81258548 #14 [ffff88007a487850] locks_free_lock at ffffffff81258dbb #15 [ffff88007a487870] locks_dispose_list at ffffffff81258f68 #16 [ffff88007a4878a0] __posix_lock_file at ffffffff81259ab6 #17 [ffff88007a487930] posix_lock_inode_wait at ffffffff8125a02a #18 [ffff88007a4879b0] do_vfs_lock at ffffffffa02c4687 [nfsv4] #19 [ffff88007a4879c0] nfs4_proc_lock at ffffffffa02cc1a1 [nfsv4] #20 [ffff88007a487a70] do_unlk at ffffffffa0273d9e [nfs] #21 [ffff88007a487ac0] nfs_lock at ffffffffa0273fa9 [nfs] #22 [ffff88007a487b10] vfs_lock_file at ffffffff8125a76e #23 [ffff88007a487b20] locks_remove_posix at ffffffff8125a819 #24 [ffff88007a487c10] locks_remove_posix at ffffffff8125a878 #25 [ffff88007a487c20] filp_close at ffffffff812092a2 #26 [ffff88007a487c50] put_files_struct at ffffffff812290c5 #27 [ffff88007a487ca0] exit_files at ffffffff812291c1 #28 [ffff88007a487cc0] do_exit at ffffffff8109dc5f #29 [ffff88007a487d40] do_group_exit at ffffffff8109e3b5 #30 [ffff88007a487d70] get_signal at ffffffff810a9504 #31 [ffff88007a487e00] do_signal at ffffffff81014447 #32 [ffff88007a487f30] do_notify_resume at ffffffff81014b0e #33 [ffff88007a487f50] int_signal at ffffffff8173b2fc The nfs4_lock_state->ls_state pointer is pointing to free memory. I think what's happening here is that a signal is bumping us out of do_unlk() waiting on the io_counter while we try to release locks on __fput(). Since the lock is never released, it sticks around on the inode until another lock replaces it, and when it is freed it wants some bits from nfs4_state, but the nfs4_state was already cleaned up. Probably we need to do a better job not bailing out of do_unlk on file close, but while I work on that, something like the following keeps the nfs4_state around for proper cleanup of the nfs4_lock_state: Is this sane?

Hold a reference to the nfs4_state to ensure it is not released before freeing the nfs4_lock_state. --- fs/nfs/nfs4state.c | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/nfs/nfs4state.c b/fs/nfs/nfs4state.c index 605840d..f93b410 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4state.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4state.c @@ -827,6 +827,7 @@ static struct nfs4_lock_state *nfs4_alloc_lock_state(struct nfs4_state *state, f return NULL; nfs4_init_seqid_counter(&lsp->ls_seqid); atomic_set(&lsp->ls_count, 1); + atomic_inc(&state->count); lsp->ls_state = state; lsp->ls_owner = fl_owner; lsp->ls_seqid.owner_id = ida_simple_get(&server->lockowner_id, 0, 0, GFP_NOFS); @@ -903,6 +904,7 @@ void nfs4_put_lock_state(struct nfs4_lock_state *lsp) clp->cl_mvops->free_lock_state(server, lsp); } else nfs4_free_lock_state(server, lsp); + nfs4_put_open_state(state); } static void nfs4_fl_copy_lock(struct file_lock *dst, struct file_lock *src) -- 1.7.1 -- 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
