Operations that morph the stateid's seqid should be serialized via the st_rwsem. An OPEN_DOWNGRADE or CLOSE takes an exclusive lock on the rwsem, but we do allow OPENs to run in parallel with each other, under the assumption that on success you always get at least what you requested. So, I don't think that OPEN can really race with an OPEN_DOWNGRADE or CLOSE like you're thinking. But...suppose we have two racing OPEN calls. They're both in nfs4_get_vfs_file. One opens the file and succeeds and the other fails and ends up in out_put_access. At that point, you could end up clobbering the successful update to st_access_bmap from the other task, and we'd end up not putting the file access references in release_all_access. A simple way to confirm that might be to convert all of the read locks on the st_rwsem to write locks. That will serialize all of the open operations and should prevent that particular race from occurring. If that works, we'd probably want to fix it in a less heavy-handed way, but I'd have to think about how best to do that. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
