Calling fput() directly or though filp_close() from a kernel thread like nfsd causes the final __fput() (if necessary) to be called from a workqueue. This means that nfsd is not forced to wait for any work to complete. If the ->release or ->destroy_inode function is slow for any reason, this can result in nfsd closing files more quickly than the workqueue can complete the close and the queue of pending closes can grow without bounces (30 million has been seen at one customer site, though this was in part due to a slowness in xfs which has since been fixed). nfsd does not need this. It is quite appropriate and safe for nfsd to do its own close work. There is no reason that close should ever wait for nfsd, so no deadlock can occur. It should be safe and sensible to change all fput() calls to __fput_sync(). However in the interests of caution this patch only changes two - the two that can be most directly affected by client behaviour and could occur at high frequency. - the fput() implicitly in flip_close() is changed to __fput_sync() by calling get_file() first to ensure filp_close() doesn't do the final fput() itself. If is where files opened for IO are closed. - the fput() in nfsd_read() is also changed. This is where directories opened for readdir are closed. This ensure that minimal fput work is queued to the workqueue. This removes the need for the flush_delayed_fput() call in nfsd_file_close_inode_sync() Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> |

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.
