From: Roberto Bergantinos Corpas <rbergant@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 950a578c6128c2886e295b9c7ecb0b6b22fcc92b ] Actually we don't do anything with return value from nfs_wait_client_init_complete in nfs_match_client, as a consequence if we get a fatal signal and client is not fully initialised, we'll loop to "again" label This has been proven to cause soft lockups on some scenarios (no-carrier but configured network interfaces) Signed-off-by: Roberto Bergantinos Corpas <rbergant@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <Anna.Schumaker@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/nfs/client.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/nfs/client.c b/fs/nfs/client.c index 90d71fda65cec..350cfa561e0e8 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/client.c +++ b/fs/nfs/client.c @@ -284,6 +284,7 @@ static struct nfs_client *nfs_match_client(const struct nfs_client_initdata *dat struct nfs_client *clp; const struct sockaddr *sap = data->addr; struct nfs_net *nn = net_generic(data->net, nfs_net_id); + int error; again: list_for_each_entry(clp, &nn->nfs_client_list, cl_share_link) { @@ -296,8 +297,10 @@ static struct nfs_client *nfs_match_client(const struct nfs_client_initdata *dat if (clp->cl_cons_state > NFS_CS_READY) { refcount_inc(&clp->cl_count); spin_unlock(&nn->nfs_client_lock); - nfs_wait_client_init_complete(clp); + error = nfs_wait_client_init_complete(clp); nfs_put_client(clp); + if (error < 0) + return ERR_PTR(error); spin_lock(&nn->nfs_client_lock); goto again; } @@ -407,6 +410,8 @@ struct nfs_client *nfs_get_client(const struct nfs_client_initdata *cl_init) clp = nfs_match_client(cl_init); if (clp) { spin_unlock(&nn->nfs_client_lock); + if (IS_ERR(clp)) + return clp; if (new) new->rpc_ops->free_client(new); return nfs_found_client(cl_init, clp); -- 2.20.1
