commit 8e6e2ffa65 upstream.
nfsd_file_put() in one thread can race with another thread doing
garbage collection (running nfsd_file_gc() -> list_lru_walk() ->
nfsd_file_lru_cb()):
* In nfsd_file_put(), nf->nf_ref is 1, so it tries to do nfsd_file_lru_add().
* nfsd_file_lru_add() returns true (with NFSD_FILE_REFERENCED bit set)
* garbage collector kicks in, nfsd_file_lru_cb() clears REFERENCED bit and
returns LRU_ROTATE.
* garbage collector kicks in again, nfsd_file_lru_cb() now decrements nf->nf_ref
to 0, runs nfsd_file_unhash(), removes it from the LRU and adds to the dispose
list [list_lru_isolate_move(lru, &nf->nf_lru, head)]
* nfsd_file_put() detects NFSD_FILE_HASHED bit is cleared, so it tries to remove
the 'nf' from the LRU [if (!nfsd_file_lru_remove(nf))]. The 'nf' has been added
to the 'dispose' list by nfsd_file_lru_cb(), so nfsd_file_lru_remove(nf) simply
treats it as part of the LRU and removes it, which leads to its removal from
the 'dispose' list.
* At this moment, 'nf' is unhashed with its nf_ref being 0, and not on the LRU.
nfsd_file_put() continues its execution [if (refcount_dec_and_test(&nf->nf_ref))],
as nf->nf_ref is already 0, nf->nf_ref is set to REFCOUNT_SATURATED, and the 'nf'
gets no chance of being freed.
nfsd_file_put() can also race with nfsd_file_cond_queue():
* In nfsd_file_put(), nf->nf_ref is 1, so it tries to do nfsd_file_lru_add().
* nfsd_file_lru_add() sets REFERENCED bit and returns true.
* Some userland application runs 'exportfs -f' or something like that, which triggers
__nfsd_file_cache_purge() -> nfsd_file_cond_queue().
* In nfsd_file_cond_queue(), it runs [if (!nfsd_file_unhash(nf))], unhash is done
successfully.
* nfsd_file_cond_queue() runs [if (!nfsd_file_get(nf))], now nf->nf_ref goes to 2.
* nfsd_file_cond_queue() runs [if (nfsd_file_lru_remove(nf))], it succeeds.
* nfsd_file_cond_queue() runs [if (refcount_sub_and_test(decrement, &nf->nf_ref))]
(with "decrement" being 2), so the nf->nf_ref goes to 0, the 'nf' is added to the
dispose list [list_add(&nf->nf_lru, dispose)]
* nfsd_file_put() detects NFSD_FILE_HASHED bit is cleared, so it tries to remove
the 'nf' from the LRU [if (!nfsd_file_lru_remove(nf))], although the 'nf' is not
in the LRU, but it is linked in the 'dispose' list, nfsd_file_lru_remove() simply
treats it as part of the LRU and removes it. This leads to its removal from
the 'dispose' list!
* Now nf->ref is 0, unhashed. nfsd_file_put() continues its execution and set
nf->nf_ref to REFCOUNT_SATURATED.
As shown in the above analysis, using nf_lru for both the LRU list and dispose list
can cause the leaks. This patch adds a new list_head nf_gc in struct nfsd_file, and uses
it for the dispose list. This does not fix the nfsd_file leaking issue completely.
