4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6bdded59c8933940ac7e5b416448276ac89d1144 ] fscache_disable_cookie() needs to clear the outstanding writes on the cookie it's disabling because they cannot be completed after. Without this, fscache_nfs_open_file() gets stuck because it disables the cookie when the file is opened for writing but can't uncache the pages till afterwards - otherwise there's a race between the open routine and anyone who already has it open R/O and is still reading from it. Looking in /proc/pid/stack of the offending process shows: [<ffffffffa0142883>] __fscache_wait_on_page_write+0x82/0x9b [fscache] [<ffffffffa014336e>] __fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages+0x91/0xe1 [fscache] [<ffffffffa01740fa>] nfs_fscache_open_file+0x59/0x9e [nfs] [<ffffffffa01ccf41>] nfs4_file_open+0x17f/0x1b8 [nfsv4] [<ffffffff8117350e>] do_dentry_open+0x16d/0x2b7 [<ffffffff811743ac>] vfs_open+0x5c/0x65 [<ffffffff81184185>] path_openat+0x785/0x8fb [<ffffffff81184343>] do_filp_open+0x48/0x9e [<ffffffff81174710>] do_sys_open+0x13b/0x1cb [<ffffffff811747b9>] SyS_open+0x19/0x1b [<ffffffff81001c44>] do_syscall_64+0x80/0x17a [<ffffffff8165c2da>] return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x7a [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Reported-by: Jianhong Yin <jiyin@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Steve Dickson <steved@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/fscache/cookie.c | 5 +++++ fs/fscache/object.c | 6 ++++++ 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+) --- a/fs/fscache/cookie.c +++ b/fs/fscache/cookie.c @@ -542,6 +542,7 @@ void __fscache_disable_cookie(struct fsc hlist_for_each_entry(object, &cookie->backing_objects, cookie_link) { if (invalidate) set_bit(FSCACHE_OBJECT_RETIRED, &object->flags); + clear_bit(FSCACHE_OBJECT_PENDING_WRITE, &object->flags); fscache_raise_event(object, FSCACHE_OBJECT_EV_KILL); } } else { @@ -560,6 +561,10 @@ void __fscache_disable_cookie(struct fsc wait_on_atomic_t(&cookie->n_active, fscache_wait_atomic_t, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); + /* Make sure any pending writes are cancelled. */ + if (cookie->def->type != FSCACHE_COOKIE_TYPE_INDEX) + fscache_invalidate_writes(cookie); + /* Reset the cookie state if it wasn't relinquished */ if (!test_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_RELINQUISHED, &cookie->flags)) { atomic_inc(&cookie->n_active); --- a/fs/fscache/object.c +++ b/fs/fscache/object.c @@ -650,6 +650,12 @@ static const struct fscache_state *fscac fscache_mark_object_dead(object); object->oob_event_mask = 0; + if (test_bit(FSCACHE_OBJECT_RETIRED, &object->flags)) { + /* Reject any new read/write ops and abort any that are pending. */ + clear_bit(FSCACHE_OBJECT_PENDING_WRITE, &object->flags); + fscache_cancel_all_ops(object); + } + if (list_empty(&object->dependents) && object->n_ops == 0 && object->n_children == 0)
