NeilBrown 0abb51acfb NFS: add barriers when testing for NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED [ Upstream commit `99bc9f2eb3` ] dentry->d_fsdata is set to NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED while unlinking or renaming-over a file to ensure that no open succeeds while the NFS operation progressed on the server. Setting dentry->d_fsdata to NFS_FSDATA_BLOCKED is done under ->d_lock after checking the refcount is not elevated. Any attempt to open the file (through that name) will go through lookp_open() which will take ->d_lock while incrementing the refcount, we can be sure that once the new value is set, __nfs_lookup_revalidate() will see the new value and will block. We don't have any locking guarantee that when we set ->d_fsdata to NULL, the wait_var_event() in __nfs_lookup_revalidate() will notice. wait/wake primitives do NOT provide barriers to guarantee order. We must use smp_load_acquire() in wait_var_event() to ensure we look at an up-to-date value, and must use smp_store_release() before wake_up_var(). This patch adds those barrier functions and factors out block_revalidate() and unblock_revalidate() far clarity. There is also a hypothetical bug in that if memory allocation fails (which never happens in practice) we might leave ->d_fsdata locked. This patch adds the missing call to unblock_revalidate().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
