From: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0c8c7c559740d2d8b66048162af6c4dba8f0c88c ] This is a slight variation on a patch previously proposed by Neil Brown that never got merged. Prior to commit 5ceb9d7fdaaf ("NFS: Refactor nfs_lookup_revalidate()"), any error from nfs_lookup_verify_inode() other than -ESTALE would result in nfs_lookup_revalidate() returning that error (-ESTALE is mapped to zero). Since that commit, all errors result in nfs_lookup_revalidate() returning zero, resulting in dentries being invalidated where they previously were not (particularly in the case of -ERESTARTSYS). Fix it by passing the actual error code to nfs_lookup_revalidate_done(), and leaving the decision on whether to map the error code to zero or one to nfs_lookup_revalidate_done(). A simple reproducer is to run the following python code in a subdirectory of an NFS mount (not in the root of the NFS mount): ---8<--- import os import multiprocessing import time if __name__=="__main__": multiprocessing.set_start_method("spawn") count = 0 while True: try: os.getcwd() pool = multiprocessing.Pool(10) pool.close() pool.terminate() count += 1 except Exception as e: print(f"Failed after {count} iterations") print(e) break ---8<--- Prior to commit 5ceb9d7fdaaf, the above code would run indefinitely. After commit 5ceb9d7fdaaf, it fails almost immediately with -ENOENT.
