Subject: Re: [Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker does
not distinguish lock level
Hello Joseph, Changwei and Jun/Alex,
Please help to take a look at this patch,
since the previous patch really has vulnerability in logic, although our test cases did not hit it.
Thanks
Gang

ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker as a variant of ocfs2_inode_lock,
is used to prevent deadlock due to recursive lock acquisition.
But this function does not distinguish
whether the requested level is EX or PR.
If a RP lock has been attained, this function
will immediately return success afterwards even
an EX lock is requested.
But actually the return value does not mean that
the process got a EX lock, because ocfs2_inode_lock
has not been called.
When taking lock levels into account, we face some different situations.
1. no lock is held
In this case, just lock the inode and return 0
2. We are holding a lock
For this situation, things diverges into several cases
wanted holding what to do
ex ex see 2.1 below
ex pr see 2.2 below
pr ex see 2.1 below
pr pr see 2.1 below
2.1 lock level that is been held is compatible
with the wanted level, so no lock action will be tacken.
2.2 Otherwise, an upgrade is needed, but it is forbidden.
Reason why upgrade within a process is forbidden is that
lock upgrade may cause dead lock. The following illustrate
how it happens.
process 1 process 2
ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=0)
<====== ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=1)
ocfs2_inode_lock_tracker(ex=1)
