svcrpc: fix svc_xprt_enqueue/svc_recv busy-looping

2012-09-12T02:37:23+00:00

commit d10f27a750312ed5638c876e4bd6aa83664cccd8 upstream.

The rpc server tries to ensure that there will be room to send a reply
before it receives a request.

It does this by tracking, in xpt_reserved, an upper bound on the total
size of the replies that is has already committed to for the socket.

Currently it is adding in the estimate for a new reply *before* it
checks whether there is space available.  If it finds that there is not
space, it then subtracts the estimate back out.

This may lead the subsequent svc_xprt_enqueue to decide that there is
space after all.

The results is a svc_recv() that will repeatedly return -EAGAIN, causing
server threads to loop without doing any actual work.

svcrpc: sends on closed socket should stop immediately

2012-09-12T02:37:22+00:00

commit f06f00a24d76e168ecb38d352126fd203937b601 upstream.

svc_tcp_sendto sets XPT_CLOSE if we fail to transmit the entire reply.
However, the XPT_CLOSE won't be acted on immediately.  Meanwhile other
threads could send further replies before the socket is really shut
down.  This can manifest as data corruption: for example, if a truncated
read reply is followed by another rpc reply, that second reply will look
to the client like further read data.

Symptoms were data corruption preceded by svc_tcp_sendto logging
something like

	kernel: rpc-srv/tcp: nfsd: sent only 963696 when sending 1048708 bytes - shutting down socket

svcrpc: fix BUG() in svc_tcp_clear_pages

2012-09-12T02:37:22+00:00

commit be1e44441a560c43c136a562d49a1c9623c91197 upstream.

Examination of svc_tcp_clear_pages shows that it assumes sk_tcplen is
consistent with sk_pages[] (in particular, sk_pages[n] can't be NULL if
sk_tcplen would lead us to expect n pages of data).

svc_tcp_restore_pages zeroes out sk_pages[] while leaving sk_tcplen.
This is OK, since both functions are serialized by XPT_BUSY.  However,
that means the inconsistency must be repaired before dropping XPT_BUSY.

Therefore we should be ensuring that svc_tcp_save_pages repairs the
problem before exiting svc_tcp_recv_record on error.

Symptoms were a BUG() in svc_tcp_clear_pages.

SUNRPC: return negative value in case rpcbind client creation error

2012-08-09T23:25:02+00:00

commit caea33da898e4e14f0ba58173e3b7689981d2c0b upstream.

Without this patch kernel will panic on LockD start, because lockd_up() checks
lockd_up_net() result for negative value.
From my pow it's better to return negative value from rpcbind routines instead
of replacing all such checks like in lockd_up().

nfs: skip commit in releasepage if we're freeing memory for fs-related reasons

rpciod is trying to allocate memory for a new socket to talk to the
server. The VM ends up calling ->releasepage to get more memory, and it
tries to do a blocking commit. That commit can't succeed however without
a connected socket, so we deadlock.

Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the
socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when
deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS
unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do
allocations sometimes.

sunrpc: fix loss of task->tk_status after rpc_delay call in xprt_alloc_slot

2012-06-10T13:41:32+00:00

commit 1afeaf5c29aa07db25760d2fbed5c08a3aec3498 upstream.

xprt_alloc_slot will call rpc_delay() to make the task wait a bit before
retrying when it gets back an -ENOMEM error from xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot.
The problem is that rpc_delay will clear the task->tk_status, causing
call_reserveresult to abort the task.

The solution is simply to let call_reserveresult handle the ENOMEM error
directly.

SUNRPC: We must not use list_for_each_entry_safe() in rpc_wake_up()

2012-04-02T16:52:51+00:00

commit 540a0f7584169651f485e8ab67461fcb06934e38 upstream.

The problem is that for the case of priority queues, we
have to assume that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority will move new
elements from the tk_wait.links lists into the queue->tasks[] list.
We therefore cannot use list_for_each_entry_safe() on queue->tasks[],
since that will skip these new tasks that __rpc_remove_wait_queue_priority
is adding.

Without this fix, rpc_wake_up and rpc_wake_up_status will both fail
to wake up all functions on priority wait queues, which can result
in some nasty hangs.

net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls

2012-02-03T17:22:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf778b00e96df6d64f8e21b8395d1f8a859ecdc7 ]

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.
