NFS: Fix nfs_netfs_issue_read() xarray locking for writeback interrupt
[ Upstream commit fd5860ab6341506004219b080aea40213b299d2e ]
The loop inside nfs_netfs_issue_read() currently does not disable
interrupts while iterating through pages in the xarray to submit
for NFS read. This is not safe though since after taking xa_lock,
another page in the mapping could be processed for writeback inside
an interrupt, and deadlock can occur. The fix is simple and clean
if we use xa_for_each_range(), which handles the iteration with RCU
while reducing code complexity.
The problem is easily reproduced with the following test:
mount -o vers=3,fsc 127.0.0.1:/export /mnt/nfs
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin bs=4096 count=1
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
dd if=/mnt/nfs/file1.bin of=/dev/null
umount /mnt/nfs
On the console with a lockdep-enabled kernel a message similar to
the following will be seen:
