[PATCH 3/7] lockd: fix race in async lock request handling

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

 



This patch fixes a race in async lock request handling between adding
the relevant struct nlm_block to nlm_blocked list after the request was
sent by vfs_lock_file() and nlmsvc_grant_deferred() does a lookup of the
nlm_block in the nlm_blocked list. It could be that the async request is
completed before the nlm_block was added to the list. This would end
in a -ENOENT and a kernel log message of "lockd: grant for unknown
block".

To solve this issue we add the nlm_block before the vfs_lock_file() call
to be sure it has been added when a possible nlmsvc_grant_deferred() is
called. If the vfs_lock_file() results in an case when it wouldn't be
added to nlm_blocked list, the nlm_block struct will be removed from
this list again.

The introducing of the new B_PENDING_CALLBACK nlm_block flag will handle
async lock requests on a pending lock requests as a retry on the caller
level to hit the -EAGAIN case.
