lockd: Plug nlm_file refcount leak on cached nlm_do_fopen() failure

2026-07-24T14:11:32+00:00

commit 70a38f87bed7f0694fd07988b47b2db1e10d8df3 upstream. The cached-file path in nlm_lookup_file() reaches the found: label unconditionally, even when nlm_do_fopen() fails. At that label *result and file->f_count are updated before the error is returned. The wrappers nlm3svc_lookup_file() and nlm4svc_lookup_file() then bail out of their switch without copying *result back to their caller, so the proc handler's local nlm_file pointer remains NULL and the cleanup path skips nlm_release_file(). The f_count increment is never released, and nlm_traverse_files() can no longer reap the file because its refcount never returns to zero between requests. Short-circuit the cached path so neither *result nor f_count is touched when nlm_do_fopen() fails on a hashed nlm_file.

lockd: Plug nlm_file leak when nlm_do_fopen() fails

2026-07-24T14:11:31+00:00

commit f16a1513452edb532fec81e591c64c320866719c upstream. A client can repeatedly drive nlm_do_fopen() failures by presenting file handles that the underlying export rejects. After kzalloc_obj() succeeds in nlm_lookup_file(), the freshly allocated nlm_file is not yet inserted into nlm_files[]. The nlm_do_fopen() failure path jumps to out_unlock, which releases nlm_file_mutex and returns without freeing the allocation, so each failure leaks one nlm_file. Route the failure through out_free so kfree() runs before the function returns.

lockd: fix vfs_test_lock() calls

2026-01-08T09:14:49+00:00

commit a49a2a1baa0c553c3548a1c414b6a3c005a8deba upstream. 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.

sunrpc: allow svc threads to fail initialisation cleanly

2024-09-20T23:31:03+00:00

If an svc thread needs to perform some initialisation that might fail, it has no good way to handle the failure. Before the thread can exit it must call svc_exit_thread(), but that requires the service mutex to be held. The thread cannot simply take the mutex as that could deadlock if there is a concurrent attempt to shut down all threads (which is unlikely, but not impossible). nfsd currently call svc_exit_thread() unprotected in the unlikely event that unshare_fs_struct() fails. We can clean this up by introducing svc_thread_init_status() by which an svc thread can report whether initialisation has succeeded. If it has, it continues normally into the action loop. If it has not, svc_thread_init_status() immediately aborts the thread. svc_start_kthread() waits for either of these to happen, and calls svc_exit_thread() (under the mutex) if the thread aborted.

lockd: discard nlmsvc_timeout

2024-09-01T14:04:56+00:00

nlmsvc_timeout always has the same value as (nlm_timeout * HZ), so use that in the one place that nlmsvc_timeout is used. In truth it *might* not always be the same as nlmsvc_timeout is only set when lockd is started while nlm_timeout can be set at anytime via sysctl. I think this difference it not helpful so removing it is good. Also remove the test for nlm_timout being 0. This is not possible - unless a module parameter is used to set the minimum timeout to 0, and if that happens then it probably should be honoured. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever
