lockd: fix vfs_test_lock() calls

2026-01-11T14:19:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit a49a2a1baa0c553c3548a1c414b6a3c005a8deba ] Usage of vfs_test_lock() is somewhat confused. Documentation suggests it is given a "lock" but this is not the case. It is given a struct file_lock which contains some details of the sort of lock it should be looking for. In particular passing a "file_lock" containing fl_lmops or fl_ops is meaningless and possibly confusing. This is particularly problematic in lockd. nlmsvc_testlock() receives an initialised "file_lock" from xdr-decode, including manager ops and an owner. It then mistakenly passes this to vfs_test_lock() which might replace the owner and the ops. This can lead to confusion when freeing the lock. The primary role of the 'struct file_lock' passed to vfs_test_lock() is to report a conflicting lock that was found, so it makes more sense for nlmsvc_testlock() to pass "conflock", which it uses for returning the conflicting lock. With this change, freeing of the lock is not confused and code in __nlm4svc_proc_test() and __nlmsvc_proc_test() can be simplified. Documentation for vfs_test_lock() is improved to reflect its real purpose, and a WARN_ON_ONCE() is added to avoid a similar problem in the future.

lockd: fix file selection in nlmsvc_cancel_blocked

2024-03-06T14:45:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9f27783b4dd235ef3c8dbf69fc6322777450323c ] We currently do a lock_to_openmode call based on the arguments from the NLM_UNLOCK call, but that will always set the fl_type of the lock to F_UNLCK, and the O_RDONLY descriptor is always chosen. Fix it to use the file_lock from the block instead. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

lockd: ensure we use the correct file descriptor when unlocking

[ Upstream commit 69efce009f7df888e1fede3cb2913690eb829f52 ] Shared locks are set on O_RDONLY descriptors and exclusive locks are set on O_WRONLY ones. nlmsvc_unlock however calls vfs_lock_file twice, once for each descriptor, but it doesn't reset fl_file. Ensure that it does. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

NLM: Defend against file_lock changes after vfs_test_lock()

2022-07-30T00:08:56+00:00

Instead of trusting that struct file_lock returns completely unchanged after vfs_test_lock() when there's no conflicting lock, stash away our nlm_lockowner reference so we can properly release it for all cases. This defends against another file_lock implementation overwriting fl_owner when the return type is F_UNLCK.

nfs: block notification on fs with its own ->lock

2022-01-08T19:42:01+00:00

NFSv4.1 supports an optional lock notification feature which notifies the client when a lock comes available. (Normally NFSv4 clients just poll for locks if necessary.) To make that work, we need to request a blocking lock from the filesystem. We turned that off for NFS in commit f657f8eef3ff ("nfs: don't atempt blocking locks on nfs reexports") [sic] because it actually blocks the nfsd thread while waiting for the lock. Thanks to Vasily Averin for pointing out that NFS isn't the only filesystem with that problem. Any filesystem that leaves ->lock NULL will use posix_lock_file(), which does the right thing. Simplest is just to assume that any filesystem that defines its own ->lock is not safe to request a blocking lock from. So, this patch mostly reverts commit f657f8eef3ff ("nfs: don't atempt blocking locks on nfs reexports") [sic] and commit b840be2f00c0 ("lockd: don't attempt blocking locks on nfs reexports"), and instead uses a check of ->lock (Vasily's suggestion) to decide whether to support blocking lock notifications on a given filesystem. Also add a little documentation. Perhaps someday we could add back an export flag later to allow filesystems with "good" ->lock methods to support blocking lock notifications.

lockd: don't attempt blocking locks on nfs reexports

2021-08-26T19:32:18+00:00

As in the v4 case, it doesn't work well to block waiting for a lock on an nfs filesystem. As in the v4 case, that means we're depending on the client to poll. It's probably incorrect to depend on that, but I *think* clients do poll in practice. In any case, it's an improvement over hanging the lockd thread indefinitely as we currently are.

Keep read and write fds with each nlm_file

2021-08-23T22:05:31+00:00

We shouldn't really be using a read-only file descriptor to take a write lock. Most filesystems will put up with it. But NFS, for example, won't. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

lockd: lockd server-side shouldn't set fl_ops

2021-08-21T15:48:34+00:00

Locks have two sets of op arrays, fl_lmops for the lock manager (lockd or nfsd), fl_ops for the filesystem. The server-side lockd code has been setting its own fl_ops, which leads to confusion (and crashes) in the reexport case, where the filesystem expects to be the only one setting fl_ops. And there's no reason for it that I can see-the lm_get/put_owner ops do the same job. Reported-by: Daire Byrne Tested-by: Daire Byrne Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

lockd: Fix invalid lockowner cast after vfs_test_lock

2021-08-17T15:47:52+00:00

After calling vfs_test_lock() the pointer to a conflicting lock can be returned, and that lock is not guarunteed to be owned by nlm. In that case, we cannot cast it to struct nlm_lockowner. Instead return the pid of that conflicting lock. Fixes: 646d73e91b42 ("lockd: Show pid of lockd for remote locks") Signed-off-by: Benjamin Coddington Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever
