CLOSE/OPEN race

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

 



I've been seeing the following on a modified version of generic/089
that gets the client stuck sending LOCK with NFS4ERR_OLD_STATEID.

1. Client has open stateid A, sends a CLOSE
2. Client sends OPEN with same owner
3. Client sends another OPEN with same owner
4. Client gets a reply to OPEN in 3, stateid is B.2 (stateid B sequence 2)
5. Client does LOCK,LOCKU,FREE_STATEID from B.2
6. Client gets a reply to CLOSE in 1
7. Client gets reply to OPEN in 2, stateid is B.1
8. Client sends LOCK with B.1 - OLD_STATEID, now stuck in a loop

The CLOSE response in 6 causes us to clear NFS_OPEN_STATE, so that the OPEN
response in 7 is able to update the open_stateid even though it has a lower
sequence number.

I think this case could be handled by never updating the open_stateid if the
stateids match but the sequence number of the new state is less than the
current open_state.

Any thoughts?
