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: fix list insertion when lock is split in twoJeff Layton1-0/+1
In the case where we're splitting a lock in two, the current code the new "left" lock in the incorrect spot. It's inserted just before "right" when it should instead be inserted just before the new lock. When we add a new lock, set "fl" to that value so that we can add "left" before it.

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>

2014-10-07locks: remove i_have_this_lease check from __break_leaseJeff Layton1-4/+2
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.

...and move the fasync setup into it for fcntl lease calls. At the same time, change the semantics of how the file_lock double-pointer is handled. 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.

In later patches, we're going to add a new lock_manager_operation to finish setting up the lease while still holding the i_lock. To do this, we'll need to pass a little bit of info in the fcntl setlease case (primarily an fasync structure). Plumb the extra pointer into there in advance of that.

2014-08-14locks: defer freeing locks in locks_delete_lock until after i_lock has been droppedJeff Layton1-8/+30
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.

I had mistakenly thought that the fl_owner wasn't used in the lease code, but I missed the place in __break_lease that does use it. The i_have_this_lease check in generic_add_lease uses it. While I'm not sure that check is terribly helpful [1], reset it back to using current->files in order to ensure that there's no behavior change here. [1]: leases are owned by the file description. It's possible that this is a threaded program, and the lease breaker and the task that would handle the signal are different, even if they have the same file table.

2014-06-02locks: ensure that fl_owner is always initialized properly in flock and lease codepathsJeff Layton1-1/+3
Currently, the fl_owner isn't set for flock locks. Some filesystems use byte-range locks to simulate flock locks and there is a common idiom in those that does: fl->fl_owner = (fl_owner_t)filp; fl->fl_start = 0; fl->fl_end = OFFSET_MAX; Since flock locks are generally "owned" by the open file description, move this into the common flock lock setup code. The fl_start and fl_end fields are already set appropriately, so remove the unneeded setting of that in flock ops in those filesystems as well. Finally, the lease code also sets the fl_owner as if they were owned by the process and not the open file description. This is incorrect as leases have the same ownership semantics as flock locks. Set them the same way. The lease code doesn't actually use the fl_owner value for anything, so this is more for consistency's sake than a bugfix.

2014-04-22locks: rename file-private locks to "open file description locks"Jeff Layton1-7/+7
File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now* people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new file-private locks suck. ...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck. We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them. The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as "open file description locks". The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier to spot this difference when reading code. This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before v3.15 ships: 1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest. 2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK" Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Cc: Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Frank Filz <ffilzlnx@mindspring.com> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>
