[ Upstream commit 26e5c67deb ]
I observed a hang when running generic/323 against a fuseblk server.
This test opens a file, initiates a lot of AIO writes to that file
descriptor, and closes the file descriptor before the writes complete.
Unsurprisingly, the AIO exerciser threads are mostly stuck waiting for
responses from the fuseblk server:
# cat /proc/372265/task/372313/stack
[<0>] request_wait_answer+0x1fe/0x2a0 [fuse]
[<0>] __fuse_simple_request+0xd3/0x2b0 [fuse]
[<0>] fuse_do_getattr+0xfc/0x1f0 [fuse]
[<0>] fuse_file_read_iter+0xbe/0x1c0 [fuse]

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x37/0xf0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
But the /weird/ part is that the fuseblk server threads are waiting for
responses from itself:
# cat /proc/372210/task/372232/stack
[<0>] request_wait_answer+0x1fe/0x2a0 [fuse]
[<0>] __fuse_simple_request+0xd3/0x2b0 [fuse]

[<0>] fuse_release+0x36/0x50 [fuse]

[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
The fuseblk server is fuse2fs so there's nothing all that exciting in
the server itself. So why is the fuse server calling fuse_file_put?
The commit message for the fstest sheds some light on that:
"By closing the file descriptor before calling io_destroy, you pretty
much guarantee that the last put on the ioctx will be done in interrupt
context (during I/O completion).
Aha. AIO fgets a new struct file from the fd when it queues the ioctx.
The completion of the FUSE_WRITE command from userspace causes the fuse
server to call the AIO completion function. The completion puts the
struct file, queuing a delayed fput to the fuse server task. When the
fuse server task returns to userspace, it has to run the delayed fput,
which in the case of a fuseblk server, it does synchronously.
Sending the FUSE_RELEASE command sychronously from fuse server threads
is a bad idea because a client program can initiate enough simultaneous
AIOs such that all the fuse server threads end up in delayed_fput, and
now there aren't any threads left to handle the queued fuse commands.
Fix this by only using asynchronous fputs when closing files, and leave
a comment explaining why.
