pnfs/flexfiles: Fix memory leak in nfs4_ff_alloc_deviceid_node()

2026-01-23T10:18:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0c728083654f0066f5e10a1d2b0bd0907af19a58 ] In nfs4_ff_alloc_deviceid_node(), if the allocation for ds_versions fails, the function jumps to the out_scratch label without freeing the already allocated dsaddrs list, leading to a memory leak. Fix this by jumping to the out_err_drain_dsaddrs label, which properly frees the dsaddrs list before cleaning up other resources.

pNFS/flexfiles: don't attempt pnfs on fatal DS errors

2025-08-15T10:14:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit f06bedfa62d57f7b67d44aacd6badad2e13a803f ] When an applications get killed (SIGTERM/SIGINT) while pNFS client performs a connection to DS, client ends in an infinite loop of connect-disconnect. This source of the issue, it that flexfilelayoutdev#nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds gets an error on nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect with status ERESTARTSYS, which is set by rpc_signal_task, but the error is treated as transient, thus retried. The issue is reproducible with Ctrl+C the following script(there should be ~1000 files in a directory, client should must not have any connections to DSes): ``` echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches for i in * do head -1 $i done ``` The change aims to propagate the nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds error state to the caller that can decide whatever this is a retryable error or not.

nfs: don't share pNFS DS connections between net namespaces

2025-06-04T12:43:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6b9785dc8b13d9fb75ceec8cf4ea7ec3f3b1edbc ] Currently, different NFS clients can share the same DS connections, even when they are in different net namespaces. If a containerized client creates a DS connection, another container can find and use it. When the first client exits, the connection will close which can lead to stalls in other clients. Add a net namespace pointer to struct nfs4_pnfs_ds, and compare those value to the caller's netns in _data_server_lookup_locked() when searching for a nfs4_pnfs_ds to match.

pnfs/flexfiles: Fix misplaced barrier in nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds

2021-10-04T03:00:50+00:00

_nfs4_pnfs_v3/v4_ds_connect do some work smp_wmb ds->ds_clp = clp; And nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds currently does smp_rmb if(ds->ds_clp) ... This patch places the smp_rmb after the if. This ensures that following reads only happen once nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds has checked that data has been properly initialized.
