* lockd: call locks_release_private to cleanup per-filesystem stateFelix Blyakher2009-04-241-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For every lock request lockd creates a new file_lock object in nlmsvc_setgrantargs() by copying the passed in file_lock with locks_copy_lock(). A filesystem can attach it's own lock_operations vector to the file_lock. It has to be cleaned up at the end of the file_lock's life. However, lockd doesn't do it today, yet it asserts in nlmclnt_release_lockargs() that the per-filesystem state is clean. This patch fixes it by exporting locks_release_private() and adding it to nlmsvc_freegrantargs(), to be symmetrical to creating a file_lock in nlmsvc_setgrantargs().

* locks: allow ->lock() to return FILE_LOCK_DEFERREDMiklos Szeredi2008-07-251-14/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow filesystem's ->lock() method to call posix_lock_file() instead of posix_lock_file_wait(), and return FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED. This makes it possible to implement a such a ->lock() function, that works with the lock manager, which needs the call to be asynchronous. Now the vfs_lock_file() helper can be used, so this is a cleanup as well. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: "J.

* locks: add special return value for asynchronous locksMiklos Szeredi2008-07-251-14/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use a special error value FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED to mean that a locking operation returned asynchronously. This is returned by posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is called or fl_wait is woken up). f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well as non-sleeping locks. This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking. This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly cleaner. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Cc: "J.

* Add new 'cond_resched_bkl()' helper functionLinus Torvalds2008-05-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It acts exactly like a regular 'cond_resched()', but will not get optimized away when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set. Normal kernel code is already preemptable in the presense of CONFIG_PREEMPT, so cond_resched() is optimized away (see commit 02b67cc3ba36bdba351d6c3a00593f4ec550d9d3 "sched: do not do cond_resched() when CONFIG_PREEMPT"). But when wanting to conditionally reschedule while holding a lock, you need to use "cond_sched_lock(lock)", and the new function is the BKL equivalent of that. Also make fs/locks.c use it.

* [PATCH] fix SMP ordering hole in fcntl_setlk()Al Viro2008-05-061-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fcntl_setlk()/close() race prevention has a subtle hole - we need to make sure that if we *do* have an fcntl/close race on SMP box, the access to descriptor table and inode->i_flock won't get reordered. As it is, we get STORE inode->i_flock, LOAD descriptor table entry vs. STORE descriptor table entry, LOAD inode->i_flock with not a single lock in common on both sides. We do have BKL around the first STORE, but check in locks_remove_posix() is outside of BKL and for a good reason - we don't want BKL on common path of close(2). Solution is to hold ->file_lock around fcheck() in there; that orders us wrt removal from descriptor table that preceded locks_remove_posix() on close path and we either come first (in which case eviction will be handled by the close side) or we'll see the effect of close and do eviction ourselves. Note that even though it's read-only access, we do need ->file_lock here - rcu_read_lock() won't be enough to order the things. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locksJ. Bruce Fields2008-04-251-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock. The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when copying to it. This also saves the need for an unnecessary locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server. Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error. Signed-off-by: J.

* locks: fix possible infinite loop in fcntl(F_SETLKW) over nfsJ. Bruce Fields2008-04-141-20/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Miklos Szeredi found the bug: "Basically what happens is that on the server nlm_fopen() calls nfsd_open() which returns -EACCES, to which nlm_fopen() returns NLM_LCK_DENIED. "On the client this will turn into a -EAGAIN (nlm_stat_to_errno()), which in will cause fcntl_setlk() to retry forever." So, for example, opening a file on an nfs filesystem, changing permissions to forbid further access, then trying to lock the file, could result in an infinite loop. And Trond Myklebust identified the culprit, from Marc Eshel and I: 7723ec9777d9832849b76475b1a21a2872a40d20 "locks: factor out generic/filesystem switch from setlock code" That commit claimed to just be reshuffling code, but actually introduced a behavioral change by calling the lock method repeatedly as long as it returned -EAGAIN. We assumed this would be safe, since we assumed a lock of type SETLKW would only return with either success or an error other than -EAGAIN. However, nfs does can in fact return -EAGAIN in this situation, and independently of whether that behavior is correct or not, we don't actually need this change, and it seems far safer not to depend on such assumptions about the filesystem's ->lock method. Therefore, revert the problematic part of the original commit. This leaves vfs_lock_file() and its other callers unchanged, while returning fcntl_setlk and fcntl_setlk64 to their former behavior.

This saves (as usually) 16 lines of code and more than 200 from the .text section.

* Cleanup macros for distinguishing mandatory locksPavel Emelyanov2007-10-091-10/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The combination of S_ISGID bit set and S_IXGRP bit unset is used to mark the inode as "mandatory lockable" and there's a macro for this check called MANDATORY_LOCK(inode). However, fs/locks.c and some filesystems still perform the explicit i_mode checking. Besides, Andrew pointed out, that this macro is buggy itself, as it dereferences the inode arg twice. Convert this macro into static inline function and switch its users to it, making the code shorter and more readable. The __mandatory_lock() helper is to be used in places where the IS_MANDLOCK() for superblock is already known to be true.

* locks: Fix potential OOPS in generic_setlease()Pavel Emelyanov2007-10-091-9/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This code is run under lock_kernel(), which is dropped during sleeping operations, so the following race is possible: CPU1: CPU2: vfs_setlease(); vfs_setlease(); lock_kernel(); lock_kernel(); /* spin */ generic_setlease(): ... for (before = ...) /* here we found some lease after * which we will insert the new one */ fl = locks_alloc_lock(); /* go to sleep in this allocation and * drop the BKL */ generic_setlease(): ... for (before = ...) /* here we find the "before" pointing * at the one we found on CPU1 */ ->fl_change(my_before, arg); lease_modify(); locks_free_lock(); /* and we freed it */ ... unlock_kernel(); locks_insert_lock(before, fl); /* OOPS! We have just tried to add the lease * at the tail of already removed one */ The similar races are already handled in other code - all the allocations are performed before any checks/updates.

* Memory shortage can result in inconsistent flocks statePavel Emelyanov2007-10-091-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the flock_lock_file() is called to change the flock from F_RDLCK to F_WRLCK or vice versa the existing flock can be removed without appropriate warning. Look: for_each_lock(inode, before) { struct file_lock *fl = *before; if (IS_POSIX(fl)) break; if (IS_LEASE(fl)) continue; if (filp != fl->fl_file) continue; if (request->fl_type == fl->fl_type) goto out; found = 1; locks_delete_lock(before); <<<<<< ! break; } if after this point the subsequent locks_alloc_lock() will fail the return code will be -ENOMEM, but the existing lock is already removed. This is a known feature that such "re-locking" is not atomic, but in the racy case the file should stay locked (although by some other process), but in this case the file will be unlocked. The proposal is to prepare the lock in advance keeping no chance to fail in the future code. Found during making the flocks pid-namespaces aware.

* locks: kill redundant local variableJ. Bruce Fields2007-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | There's no need for another variable local to this loop; we can use the variable (of the same name!) already declared at the top of the function, and not used till later (at which point it's initialized, so this is safe). Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
* locks: reverse order of posix_locks_conflict() argumentsJ. Bruce Fields2007-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first argument to posix_locks_conflict() is meant to be a lock request, and the second a lock from an inode's lock request. It doesn't really make a difference which order you call them in, since the only asymmetric test in posix_lock_conflict() is the check whether the second argument is a posix lock--and every caller already does that check for some reason. But may as well fix posix_test_lock() to call posix_locks_conflict() with the arguments in the same order as everywhere else. Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
* Leases can be hidden by flocksPavel Emelyanov2007-09-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The inode->i_flock list contains the leases, flocks and posix locks in the specified order. However, the flocks are added in the head of this list thus hiding the leases from F_GETLEASE command, from time_out_leases() and other code that expects the leases to come first. The following example will demonstrate this: #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/file.h> static void show_lease(int fd) { int res; res = fcntl(fd, F_GETLEASE); switch (res) { case F_RDLCK: printf("Read lease\n"); break; case F_WRLCK: printf("Write lease\n"); break; case F_UNLCK: printf("No leases\n"); break; default: printf("Some shit\n"); break; } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd, res; fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); if (fd == -1) { perror("Can't open file"); return 1; } res = fcntl(fd, F_SETLEASE, F_WRLCK); if (res == -1) { perror("Can't set lease"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); if (flock(fd, LOCK_SH) == -1) { perror("Can't flock shared"); return 1; } show_lease(fd); return 0; } The first call to show_lease() will show the write lease set, but the second will show no leases.

They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.
