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.

2014-08-14locks: don't reuse file_lock in __posix_lock_fileJeff Layton1-11/+14
Currently in the case where a new file lock completely replaces the old one, we end up overwriting the existing lock with the new info. 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.

2014-06-10locks: set fl_owner for leases back to current->filesJeff Layton1-1/+1
This fixes a regression due to commit 130d1f956ab3 (locks: ensure that fl_owner is always initialized properly in flock and lease codepaths). 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. So, there is the potential for false positives with this check.

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.

v2: replace missing break in switch statement (as pointed out by Dave Jones) commit bce7560d4946 (locks: consolidate checks for compatible filp->f_mode values in setlk handlers) introduced a regression in the F_GETLK handler. flock64_to_posix_lock is a shared codepath between F_GETLK and F_SETLK, but the f_mode checks should only be applicable to the F_SETLK codepaths according to POSIX.

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>
2014-04-15locks: allow __break_lease to sleep even when break_time is 0Jeff Layton1-4/+3
A fl->fl_break_time of 0 has a special meaning to the lease break code that basically means "never break the lease". knfsd uses this to ensure that leases don't disappear out from under it. Unfortunately, the code in __break_lease can end up passing this value to wait_event_interruptible as a timeout, which prevents it from going to sleep at all. This makes __break_lease to spin in a tight loop and causes soft lockups. Fix this by ensuring that we pass a minimum value of 1 as a timeout instead. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: J.

2014-03-31locks: make locks_mandatory_area check for file-private locksJeff Layton1-2/+13
Allow locks_mandatory_area() to handle file-private locks correctly. If there is a file-private lock set on an open file and we're doing I/O via the same, then that should not cause anything to block. Handle this by first doing a non-blocking FL_ACCESS check for a file-private lock, and then fall back to checking for a classic POSIX lock (and possibly blocking). Note that this approach is subject to the same races that have always plagued mandatory locking on Linux.

As Trond pointed out, you can currently deadlock yourself by setting a file-private lock on a file that requires mandatory locking and then trying to do I/O on it. Avoid this problem by plumbing some knowledge of file-private locks into the mandatory locking code.

2014-03-31locks: require that flock->l_pid be set to 0 for file-private locksJeff Layton1-0/+24
Neil Brown suggested potentially overloading the l_pid value as a "lock context" field for file-private locks. While I don't think we will probably want to do that here, it's probably a good idea to ensure that in the future we could extend this API without breaking existing callers. Typically the l_pid value is ignored for incoming struct flock arguments, serving mainly as a place to return the pid of the owner if there is a conflicting lock. For file-private locks, require that it currently be set to 0 and return EINVAL if it isn't. If we eventually want to make a non-zero l_pid mean something, then this will help ensure that we don't break legacy programs that are using file-private locks.

2014-03-31locks: add new fcntl cmd values for handling file private locksJeff Layton1-4/+50
Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor associated with the inode. This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished. Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads. This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance and behavior on close. This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired. Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the last reference to a filp is put. These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by the same process or on the same file descriptor. The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl() syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to "classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't see any need for it. Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.

2014-03-31locks: skip deadlock detection on FL_FILE_PVT locksJeff Layton1-2/+17
It's not really feasible to do deadlock detection with FL_FILE_PVT locks since they aren't owned by a single task, per-se.

2014-03-31locks: report l_pid as -1 for FL_FILE_PVT locksJeff Layton1-2/+2
FL_FILE_PVT locks are no longer tied to a particular pid, and are instead inheritable by child processes. Report a l_pid of '-1' for these sorts of locks since the pid is somewhat meaningless for them. This precedent comes from FreeBSD. There, POSIX and flock() locks can conflict with one another. If fcntl(F_GETLK, ...) returns a lock set with flock() then the l_pid member cannot be a process ID because the lock is not held by a process as such. Acked-by: J.

2014-03-31locks: fix posix lock range overflow handlingJ. Bruce Fields1-68/+32
In the 32-bit case fcntl assigns the 64-bit f_pos and i_size to a 32-bit off_t. The existing range checks also seem to depend on signed arithmetic wrapping when it overflows. In practice maybe that works, but we can be more careful. That also allows us to make a more reliable distinction between -EINVAL and -EOVERFLOW. Note that in the 32-bit case SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END might allow the caller to set a lock with starting point no longer representable as a 32-bit value. We could return -EOVERFLOW in such cases, but the locks code is capable of handling such ranges, so we choose to be lenient here. The only problem is that subsequent GETLK calls on such a lock will fail with EOVERFLOW. While we're here, do some cleanup including consolidating code for the flock and flock64 cases.

2014-03-31locks: close potential race between setlease and openJeff Layton1-13/+62
As Al Viro points out, there is an unlikely, but possible race between opening a file and setting a lease on it. generic_add_lease is done with the i_lock held, but the inode->i_flock check in break_lease is lockless. It's possible for another task doing an open to do the entire pathwalk and call break_lease between the point where generic_add_lease checks for a conflicting open and adds the lease to the list. If this occurs, we can end up with a lease set on the file with a conflicting open. To guard against that, check again for a conflicting open after adding the lease to the i_flock list. If the above race occurs, then we can simply unwind the lease setting and return -EAGAIN. Because we take dentry references and acquire write access on the file before calling break_lease, we know that if the i_flock list is empty when the open caller goes to check it then the necessary refcounts have already been incremented. Thus the additional check for a conflicting open will see that there is one and the setlease call will fail.

Break up the blocked_list into a hashtable, using the fl_owner as a key. This speeds up searching the hash chains, which is especially significant for deadlock detection. Note that the initial implementation assumes that hashing on fl_owner is sufficient. In most cases it should be, with the notable exception being server-side lockd, which compares ownership using a tuple of the nlm_host and the pid sent in the lock request. So, this may degrade to a single hash bucket when you only have a single NFS client. That will be addressed in a later patch. The careful observer may note that this patch leaves the file_lock_list alone. There's much less of a case for turning the file_lock_list into a hashtable.

2013-06-29locks: protect most of the file_lock handling with i_lockJeff Layton1-60/+104
Having a global lock that protects all of this code is a clear scalability problem. Instead of doing that, move most of the code to be protected by the i_lock instead. The exceptions are the global lists that the ->fl_link sits on, and the ->fl_block list. ->fl_link is what connects these structures to the global lists, so we must ensure that we hold those locks when iterating over or updating these lists. Furthermore, sound deadlock detection requires that we hold the blocked_list state steady while checking for loops. We also must ensure that the search and update to the list are atomic. For the checking and insertion side of the blocked_list, push the acquisition of the global lock into __posix_lock_file and ensure that checking and update of the blocked_list is done without dropping the lock in between. On the removal side, when waking up blocked lock waiters, take the global lock before walking the blocked list and dequeue the waiters from the global list prior to removal from the fl_block list. With this, deadlock detection should be race free while we minimize excessive file_lock_lock thrashing. Finally, in order to avoid a lock inversion problem when handling /proc/locks output we must ensure that manipulations of the fl_block list are also protected by the file_lock_lock.

Also ensure that locks and requests are always put on global lists last (after fully initializing them) and are taken off before unintializing them.

2013-06-29cifs: use posix_unblock_lock instead of locks_delete_blockJeff Layton1-2/+1
commit 66189be74 (CIFS: Fix VFS lock usage for oplocked files) exported the locks_delete_block symbol. There's already an exported helper function that provides this capability however, so make cifs use that instead and turn locks_delete_block back into a static function. Note that if fl->fl_next == NULL then this lock has already been through locks_delete_block(), so we should be OK to ignore an ENOENT error here and simply not retry the lock.
