2015-04-17proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/XAndrey Vagin1-0/+38
Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in its fdinfo file. Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock. We can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there can be wrong. For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and dies. In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be reused by another process. $ cat /proc/locks ... 6: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF ... $ ps -C rpcbind PID TTY TIME CMD 332 ? 00:00:00 rpcbind $ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4 pos: 0 flags: 0100000 mnt_id: 22 lock: 1: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF $ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar 5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -> /run/rpcbind.lock $ ls -l /proc/324/fd/ total 0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0 You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock. This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file locks.

2015-04-03locks: use cmpxchg to assign i_flctx pointerJeff Layton1-8/+1
During the v3.20/v4.0 cycle, I had originally had the code manage the inode->i_flctx pointer using a compare-and-swap operation instead of the i_lock. Sasha Levin though hit a problem while testing with trinity that made me believe that that wasn't safe. At the time, changing the code to protect the i_flctx pointer seemed to fix the issue, but I now think that was just coincidence. The issue was likely the same race that Kirill Shutemov hit while testing the pre-rc1 v4.0 kernel and that Linus spotted. Due to the way that the spinlock was dropped in the middle of flock_lock_file, you could end up with multiple flock locks for the same struct file on the inode. Reinstate the use of a CAS operation to assign this pointer since it's likely to be more efficient and gets the i_lock completely out of the file locking business.

2015-03-04locks: fix fasync_struct memory leak in lease upgrade/downgrade handlingJeff Layton1-1/+2
Commit 8634b51f6ca2 (locks: convert lease handling to file_lock_context) introduced a regression in the handling of lease upgrade/downgrades. In the event that we already have a lease on a file and are going to either upgrade or downgrade it, we skip doing any list insertion or deletion and simply re-call lm_setup on the existing lease. As of commit 8634b51f6ca2 however, we end up calling lm_setup on the lease that was passed in, instead of on the existing lease. This causes us to leak the fasync_struct that was allocated in the event that there was not already an existing one (as it always appeared that there wasn't one).

2015-02-17locks: remove conditional lock release in middle of flock_lock_fileJeff Layton1-10/+0
As Linus pointed out: Say we have an existing flock, and now do a new one that conflicts. I see what looks like three separate bugs. - We go through the first loop, find a lock of another type, and delete it in preparation for replacing it - we *drop* the lock context spinlock. - BUG #1? So now there is no lock at all, and somebody can come in and see that unlocked state. Is that really valid? - another thread comes in while the first thread dropped the lock context lock, and wants to add its own lock. It doesn't see the deleted or pending locks, so it just adds it - the first thread gets the context spinlock again, and adds the lock that replaced the original - BUG #2? So now there are *two* locks on the thing, and the next time you do an unlock (or when you close the file), it will only remove/replace the first one. ...remove the "drop the spinlock" code in the middle of this function as it has always been suspicious. This should eliminate the potential race that can leave two locks for the same struct file on the list. He also pointed out another thing as a bug -- namely that you flock_lock_file removes the lock from the list unconditionally when doing a lock upgrade, without knowing whether it'll be able to set the new lock. Bruce pointed out that this is expected behavior and may help prevent certain deadlock situations. We may want to revisit that at some point, but it's probably best that we do so in the context of a different patchset.

2015-02-02fs: add FL_LAYOUT lease typeChristoph Hellwig1-4/+10
This (ab-)uses the file locking code to allow filesystems to recall outstanding pNFS layouts on a file. This new lease type is similar but not quite the same as FL_DELEG. A FL_LAYOUT lease can always be granted, an a per-filesystem lock (XFS iolock for the initial implementation) ensures not FL_LAYOUT leases granted when we would need to recall them. Also included are changes that allow multiple outstanding read leases of different types on the same file as long as they have a differnt owner. This wasn't a problem until now as nfsd never set FL_LEASE leases, and no one else used FL_DELEG leases, but given that nfsd will also issues FL_LAYOUT leases we will have to handle it now.

2015-01-16locks: add a new struct file_locking_context pointer to struct inodeJeff Layton1-0/+44
The current scheme of using the i_flock list is really difficult to manage. There is also a legitimate desire for a per-inode spinlock to manage these lists that isn't the i_lock. Start conversion to a new scheme to eventually replace the old i_flock list with a new "file_lock_context" object. We start by adding a new i_flctx to struct inode. For now, it lives in parallel with i_flock list, but will eventually replace it. The idea is to allocate a structure to sit in that pointer and act as a locus for all things file locking. We allocate a file_lock_context for an inode when the first lock is added to it, and it's only freed when the inode is freed. We use the i_lock to protect the assignment, but afterward it should mostly be accessed locklessly. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@primarydata.com> Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

I think that the intent of this code was to ensure that a process won't deadlock if it has one fd open with a lease on it and then breaks that lease by opening another fd. In that case it'll treat the __break_lease call as if it were non-blocking. This seems wrong -- the process could (for instance) be multithreaded and managing different fds via different threads. I also don't see any mention of this limitation in the (somewhat sketchy) documentation. Remove the check and the non-blocking behavior when i_have_this_lease is true.

Up until now, on a successful lease return you got a pointer to the lock on the list. This is bad, since that pointer can no longer be relied on as valid once the inode->i_lock has been released. Change the code to instead just zero out the pointer if the lease we passed in ended up being used. Then the callers can just check to see if it's NULL after the call and free it if it isn't. The priv argument has the same semantics. The lm_setup function can zero the pointer out to signal to the caller that it should not be freed after the function returns.

2014-08-14locks: defer freeing locks in locks_delete_lock until after i_lock has been ↵Jeff Layton1-8/+30
dropped In commit 72f98e72551fa (locks: turn lock_flocks into a spinlock), we moved from using the BKL to a global spinlock. With this change, we lost the ability to block in the fl_release_private operation. This is problematic for NFS (and probably some other filesystems as well). Add a new list_head argument to locks_delete_lock. If that argument is non-NULL, then queue any locks that we want to free to the list instead of freeing them. Then, add a new locks_dispose_list function that will walk such a list and call locks_free_lock on them after the i_lock has been dropped. Finally, change all of the callers of locks_delete_lock to pass in a list_head, except for lease_modify. That function can be called long after the i_lock has been acquired. Deferring the freeing of a lease after unlocking it in that function is non-trivial until we overhaul some of the spinlocking in the lease code. Currently though, no filesystem that sets fl_release_private supports leases, so this is not currently a problem. We'll eventually want to make the same change in the lease code, but it needs a lot more work before we can reasonably do so. Acked-by: J.

This means that we have to call fl_release_private inside i_lock. Change the code to instead copy the info to new_fl, insert that lock into the correct spot and then delete the old lock. In a later patch, we'll defer the freeing of the old lock until after the i_lock has been dropped. Acked-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@fieldses.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@primarydata.com>
