[PATCH 4.9 15/63] fs/9p/xattr.c: catch the error of p9_client_clunk when setting xattr failed

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: piaojun <piaojun@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3111784bee81591ea2815011688d28b65df03627 upstream.

In my testing, v9fs_fid_xattr_set will return successfully even if the
backend ext4 filesystem has no space to store xattr key-value. That will
cause inconsistent behavior between front end and back end. The reason is
that lsetxattr will be triggered by p9_client_clunk, and unfortunately we
did not catch the error. This patch will catch the error to notify upper
caller.

p9_client_clunk (in 9p)
  p9_client_rpc(clnt, P9_TCLUNK, "d", fid->fid);
    v9fs_clunk (in qemu)
      put_fid
        free_fid
          v9fs_xattr_fid_clunk
            v9fs_co_lsetxattr
              s->ops->lsetxattr
                ext4_xattr_user_set (in host ext4 filesystem)
