[PATCH 6.8 187/273] SUNRPC: Fix a slow server-side memory leak with RPC-over-TCP

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

 



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

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 05258a0a69b3c5d2c003f818702c0a52b6fea861 ]

Jan Schunk reports that his small NFS servers suffer from memory
exhaustion after just a few days. A bisect shows that commit
e18e157bb5c8 ("SUNRPC: Send RPC message on TCP with a single
sock_sendmsg() call") is the first bad commit.

That commit assumed that sock_sendmsg() releases all the pages in
the underlying bio_vec array, but the reality is that it doesn't.
svc_xprt_release() releases the rqst's response pages, but the
record marker page fragment isn't one of those, so it is never
released.

This is a narrow fix that can be applied to stable kernels. A
more extensive fix is in the works.
