The underlying transport releases the page pointed to by rq_buffer during xprt_rdma_bc_send_request. When the backchannel reply arrives, rq_rbuffer then points to freed memory.

It's an obvious quick fix rather than a deep review of that code path. I've tested with iozone, git "make test", and some xfstests with NFSv4.1 / RDMA; I ran into another crasher that is preventing more extensive testing. The prepare_creds crash has not re-appeared so far. I enabled RPC client debugging on the server during these tests to confirm that the CB_RECALL operations were successful. diff --git a/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c b/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c index fc4535e..20027f8 100644 --- a/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c +++ b/net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_backchannel.c @@ -177,19 +177,26 @@ static int svc_rdma_bc_sendto(struct svcxprt_rdma *rdma, return -EINVAL; } + /* svc_rdma_sendto releases this page */ page = alloc_page(RPCRDMA_DEF_GFP); if (!page) return -ENOMEM; - rqst->rq_buffer = page_address(page); - rqst->rq_rbuffer = (char *)rqst->rq_buffer + rqst->rq_callsize; + + rqst->rq_rbuffer = kmalloc(rqst->rq_rcvsize, RPCRDMA_DEF_GFP); + if (!rqst->rq_rbuffer) { + put_page(page); + return -ENOMEM; + } return 0; } static void xprt_rdma_bc_free(struct rpc_task *task) { - /* No-op: ctxt and page have already been freed. */ + struct rpc_rqst *rqst = task->tk_rqstp; + + kfree(rqst->rq_rbuffer); } static int -- 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
