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

2026-07-24T14:03:34+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

2026-07-24T14:03:34+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

2026-01-11T14:22:23+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.

nfsd: stop setting ->pg_stats for unused stats

[ Upstream commit a2214ed588fb3c5b9824a21cff870482510372bb ] A lot of places are setting a blank svc_stats in ->pg_stats and never utilizing these stats.

SUNRPC: Add enum svc_auth_status

2023-08-29T21:45:22+00:00

In addition to the benefits of using an enum rather than a set of macros, we now have a named type that can improve static type checking of function return values. As part of this change, I removed a stale comment from svcauth.h; the return values from current implementations of the auth_ops::release method are all zero/negative errno, not the SVC_OK enum values as the old comment suggested.

SUNRPC: remove timeout arg from svc_recv()

2023-08-29T21:45:22+00:00

Most svc threads have no interest in a timeout. nfsd sets it to 1 hour, but this is a wart of no significance. lockd uses the timeout so that it can call nlmsvc_retry_blocked(). It also sometimes calls svc_wake_up() to ensure this is called. So change lockd to be consistent and always use svc_wake_up() to trigger nlmsvc_retry_blocked() - using a timer instead of a timeout to svc_recv(). And change svc_recv() to not take a timeout arg. This makes the sp_threads_timedout counter always zero. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

SUNRPC: change svc_recv() to return void.

2023-08-29T21:45:22+00:00

svc_recv() currently returns a 0 on success or one of two errors: - -EAGAIN means no message was successfully received - -EINTR means the thread has been told to stop Previously nfsd would stop as the result of a signal as well as following kthread_stop(). In that case the difference was useful: EINTR means stop unconditionally. EAGAIN means stop if kthread_should_stop(), continue otherwise. Now threads only exit when kthread_should_stop() so we don't need the distinction. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

SUNRPC: call svc_process() from svc_recv().

2023-08-29T21:45:22+00:00

All callers of svc_recv() go on to call svc_process() on success. Simplify callers by having svc_recv() do that for them. This loses one call to validate_process_creds() in nfsd. That was debugging code added 14 years ago. I don't think we need to keep it. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever

lockd: remove SIGKILL handling

2023-08-29T21:45:22+00:00

lockd allows SIGKILL and responds by dropping all locks and restarting the grace period. This functionality has been present since 2.1.32 when lockd was added to Linux. This functionality is undocumented and most likely added as a useful debug aid. When there is a need to drop locks, the better approach is to use /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_*. This patch removes SIGKILL handling as part of preparation for removing all signal handling from sunrpc service threads. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever
