From: Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ocfs2: drop acl cache for directories too ocfs2_data_convert_worker() is currently dropping any cached acl info for FILE before down-converting meta lock. It should also drop for DIRECTORY. Otherwise the second acl lookup returns the cached one (from VFS layer) which could be already stale. The problem we are seeing is that the acl changes on one node doesn't get refreshed on other nodes in the following case: Node 1 Node 2 -------------- ---------------- getfacl dir1 getfacl dir1 <-- this is OK setfacl -m u:user1:rwX dir1 getfacl dir1 <-- see the change for user1 getfacl dir1 <-- can't see change for user1 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210903012631.6099-1-wen.gang.wang@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Joseph Qi <joseph.qi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Fasheh <mark@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joel Becker <jlbec@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Junxiao Bi <junxiao.bi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Changwei Ge <gechangwei@xxxxxxx> Cc: Gang He <ghe@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Jun Piao <piaojun@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c~ocfs2-drop-acl-cache-for-directories-too +++ a/fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c @@ -3951,7 +3951,7 @@ static int ocfs2_data_convert_worker(str oi = OCFS2_I(inode); oi->ip_dir_lock_gen++; mlog(0, "generation: %u\n", oi->ip_dir_lock_gen); - goto out; + goto out_forget; } if (!S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) @@ -3982,6 +3982,7 @@ static int ocfs2_data_convert_worker(str filemap_fdatawait(mapping); } +out_forget: forget_all_cached_acls(inode); out: _
