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...
Thanks a lot!
The issue case you are trying to fix is:
Process A
take inode lock (phase1)
...
<<< race window (phase2, Process B)
The deadlock only happens if process B is on a remote node and request EX lock.
Quote the patch[1/2]'s commit message:
A deadlock will occur if a remote EX request comes in between two of
ocfs2_inode_lock(). Briefly describe how the deadlock is formed:
On one hand, OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED flag of this lockres is set in
BAST(ocfs2_generic_handle_bast) when downconvert is started on behalf of
the remote EX lock request. Another hand, the recursive cluster lock (the
second one) will be blocked in in __ocfs2_cluster_lock() because of
OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED. But, the downconvert never complete, why? because
there is no chance for the first cluster lock on this node to be unlocked
- we block ourselves in the code path.
---
...
take inode lock again (phase3)
Deadlock happens because Process B in phase2 and Process A in phase3
are waiting for each other.
It's local lock's (like i_mutex) responsibility to protect critical section from racing
among processes on the same node.
So you are trying to fix it by making phase3 finish without really doing
Phase3 can go ahead because this node is already under protection of cluster lock.
__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.
Did I answer your question?
Thanks!
