nfs: return EISDIR on nfs3_proc_create if d_alias is a dir

2026-03-25T10:08:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 410666a298c34ebd57256fde6b24c96bd23059a2 ] If we found an alias through nfs3_do_create/nfs_add_or_obtain /d_splice_alias which happens to be a dir dentry, we don't return any error, and simply forget about this alias, but the original dentry we were adding and passed as parameter remains negative. This later causes an oops on nfs_atomic_open_v23/finish_open since we supply a negative dentry to do_dentry_open. This has been observed running lustre-racer, where dirs and files are created/removed concurrently with the same name and O_EXCL is not used to open files (frequent file redirection). While d_splice_alias typically returns a directory alias or NULL, we explicitly check d_is_dir() to ensure that we don't attempt to perform file operations (like finish_open) on a directory inode, which triggers the observed oops.

fs/nfs: Fix readdir slow-start regression

2026-03-04T12:20:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 42e7c876b182da65723700f6bc507a8aecb10d3b ] Commit 580f236737d1 ("NFS: Adjust the amount of readahead performed by NFS readdir") reduces the amount of readahead names caching done by the client. The downside of this approach is READDIR now may suffer from a slow-start issue, where initially it will fetch names that fit in a single page, then in 2, 4, 8 until the maximum supported transfer size (usually 1M). This patch tries to take a balanced approach between mitigating the slow-start issue still maintaining some efficiency gains.

pNFS: fix a missing wake up while waiting on NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN

2026-03-04T12:20:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5248d8474e594d156bee1ed10339cc16e207a28b ] It is possible to have a task get stuck on waiting on the NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN in the following scenario 1. cpu a: waiter test NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN (1) and plh_outstanding (1) 2. cpu b: atomic_dec_and_test() -> clear bit -> wake up 3. cpu c: sets NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN again 4. cpu a: calls wait_on_bit() sleeps forever. To expand on this we have say 2 outstanding pnfs write IO that get ESTALE which causes both to call pnfs_destroy_layout() and set the NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN bit but the 1st one doesn't call the pnfs_put_layout_hdr() yet (as that would prevent the 2nd ESTALE write from trying to call pnfs_destroy_layout()). If the 1st ESTALE write is the one that initially sets the NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN so that new IO on this file initiates new LAYOUTGET. Another new write would find NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN set and phl_outstanding>0 (step 1) and would wait_on_bit(). LAYOUTGET completes doing step 2. Now, the 2nd of ESTALE writes is calling pnfs_destory_layout() and set the NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN bit (step 3). Finally, the waiting write wakes up to check the bit and goes back to sleep. The problem revolves around the fact that if NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID_STID was already set, it should not do the work of pnfs_mark_layout_stateid_invalid(), thus NFS_LAYOUT_DRAIN will not be set more than once for an invalid layout.

pnfs/blocklayout: Fix memory leak in bl_parse_scsi()

[ Upstream commit 5a74af51c3a6f4cd22c128b0c1c019f68fa90011 ] In bl_parse_scsi(), if the block device length is zero, the function returns immediately without releasing the file reference obtained via bl_open_path(), leading to a memory leak.

NFS: Fix a deadlock involving nfs_release_folio()

[ Upstream commit cce0be6eb4971456b703aaeafd571650d314bcca ] Wang Zhaolong reports a deadlock involving NFSv4.1 state recovery waiting on kthreadd, which is attempting to reclaim memory by calling nfs_release_folio(). The latter cannot make progress due to state recovery being needed. It seems that the only safe thing to do here is to kick off a writeback of the folio, without waiting for completion, or else kicking off an asynchronous commit.
