[PATCH 3.16 129/410] nfs/pnfs: fix nfs_direct_req ref leak when i/o falls back to the mds
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Jun 07 2018 - 10:49:44 EST
3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ba4a76f703ab7eb72941fdaac848502073d6e9ee upstream.
Currently when falling back to doing I/O through the MDS (via
pnfs_{read|write}_through_mds), the client frees the nfs_pgio_header
without releasing the reference taken on the dreq
via pnfs_generic_pg_{read|write}pages -> nfs_pgheader_init ->
nfs_direct_pgio_init. It then takes another reference on the dreq via
nfs_generic_pg_pgios -> nfs_pgheader_init -> nfs_direct_pgio_init and
as a result the requester will become stuck in inode_dio_wait. Once
that happens, other processes accessing the inode will become stuck as
well.
Ensure that pnfs_read_through_mds() and pnfs_write_through_mds() clean
up correctly by calling hdr->completion_ops->completion() instead of
calling hdr->release() directly.
This can be reproduced (sometimes) by performing "storage failover
takeover" commands on NetApp filer while doing direct I/O from a client.
This can also be reproduced using SystemTap to simulate a failure while
doing direct I/O from a client (from Dave Wysochanski
<dwysocha@xxxxxxxxxx>):
stap -v -g -e 'probe module("nfs_layout_nfsv41_files").function("nfs4_fl_prepare_ds").return { $return=NULL; exit(); }'
