[PATCH 3.4 096/107] SUNRPC: never enqueue a ->rq_cong request on ->sending

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

 



From: Neil Brown <neilb@xxxxxxx>

3.4.111-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 298073181112a6ab6c30fe7971b99de968daf81e upstream.

If the sending queue has a task without ->rq_cong set at the front,
and then a number of tasks with ->rq_cong set such that they use
the entire congestion window, then the queue deadlocks.  The first
entry cannot be processed until later entries complete.

This scenario has been seen with a client using UDP to access a server,
and the network connection breaking for a period of time - it doesn't
recover.

It never really makes sense for an ->rq_cong request to be on the ->sending
queue, but it can happen when a request is being retried, and finds
the transport if locked (XPRT_LOCKED).  In this case we simple call
__xprt_put_cong() and the deadlock goes away.
