Hi,
Fixes them by adding the tracking logic (in the previous patch) for
these funcs above, ocfs2_permission(), ocfs2_iop_[set|get]_acl(),
ocfs2_setattr().
As described cases above, shall we just add the tracking logic
only for set/get_acl()?
The idea is to detect recursive locking on the running task stack.
Take case 1) for example if ocfs2_permisssion()
is not changed:
ocfs2_permission() <=== take PR, ocfs2_holder is not added
ocfs2_iop_get_acl <=== still take PR, because there is no lock
holder on the tracking list
I mean we have no need to check if locked by me, just do inode lock
and add holder.
This will make code more clean, IMO.
Oh, sorry, I get your point this time. I think we need to check it
if there are more than one processes that hold
PR lock on the same resource. If I don't understand you correctly,
please tell me why you think it's not neccessary
to check before getting lock?
The code logic can only check if it is locked by myself. In the case
Why only...?
described above, ocfs2_permission is the first entry to take inode lock.
And even if check succeeds, it is a bug without unlock, but not the case
of recursive lock.
By checking succeeds, you mean it's locked by me, right? If so, this flag
"arg_flags = OCFS2_META_LOCK_GETBH"
will be passed down to ocfs2_inode_lock_full(), which gets back buffer
head of
the disk inode for us if necessary, but doesn't take cluster locking
again. So, there is
no need to unlock in such case.
I am trying to state my point more clearly...
The issue case you are trying to fix is:
Process A
take inode lock (phase1)
...
<<< race window (phase2, Process B)
...
take inode lock again (phase3)
Deadlock happens because Process B in phase2 and Process A in phase3
are waiting for each other.
So you are trying to fix it by making phase3 finish without really doing
__ocfs2_cluster_lock, then Process B can continue either.
Let us bear in mind that phase1 and phase3 are in the same context and
executed in order. That's why I think there is no need to check if locked
by myself in phase1.
If phase1 finds it is already locked by myself, that means the holder
is left by last operation without dec holder. That's why I think it is a bug
instead of a recursive lock case.
