afs: Fix directory page locking
The afs directory loading code (primarily afs_read_dir()) locks all the pages that hold a directory's content blob to defend against getdents/getdents races and getdents/lookup races where the competitors issue conflicting reads on the same data. As the reads will complete consecutively, they may retrieve different versions of the data and one may overwrite the data that the other is busy parsing. Fix this by not locking the pages at all, but rather by turning the validation lock into an rwsem and getting an exclusive lock on it whilst reading the data or validating the attributes and a shared lock whilst parsing the data. Sharing the attribute validation lock should be fine as the data fetch will retrieve the attributes also. The individual page locks aren't needed at all as the only place they're being used is to serialise data loading. Without this patch, the: if (!test_bit(AFS_VNODE_DIR_VALID, &dvnode->flags)) { ... } part of afs_read_dir() may be skipped, leaving the pages unlocked when we hit the success: clause - in which case we try to unlock the not-locked pages, leading to the following oops: page:ffffe38b405b4300 count:3 mapcount:0 mapping:ffff98156c83a978 index:0x0 flags: 0xfffe000001004(referenced|private) raw: 000fffe000001004 ffff98156c83a978 0000000000000000 00000003ffffffff raw: dead000000000100 dead000000000200 0000000000000001 ffff98156b27c000 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(page)) page->mem_cgroup:ffff98156b27c000 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1205! ...
