Revision c156618e15101a9cc8c815108fec0300a0ec6637 authored by Scott Mayhew on 05 December 2017, 18:55:44 UTC, committed by Anna Schumaker on 15 December 2017, 19:31:49 UTC
The following deadlock can occur between a process waiting for a client to initialize in while walking the client list during nfsv4 server trunking detection and another process waiting for the nfs_clid_init_mutex so it can initialize that client: Process 1 Process 2 --------- --------- spin_lock(&nn->nfs_client_lock); list_add_tail(&CLIENTA->cl_share_link, &nn->nfs_client_list); spin_unlock(&nn->nfs_client_lock); spin_lock(&nn->nfs_client_lock); list_add_tail(&CLIENTB->cl_share_link, &nn->nfs_client_list); spin_unlock(&nn->nfs_client_lock); mutex_lock(&nfs_clid_init_mutex); nfs41_walk_client_list(clp, result, cred); nfs_wait_client_init_complete(CLIENTA); (waiting for nfs_clid_init_mutex) Make sure nfs_match_client() only evaluates clients that have completed initialization in order to prevent that deadlock. This patch also fixes v4.0 trunking behavior by not marking the client NFS_CS_READY until the clientid has been confirmed.

README
Linux kernel
============
This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst
Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
