From 32477da99f429d204f97afef297bbc3c198bb360 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2020 14:35:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] locks: reinstate locks_delete_lock optimization There is measurable performance impact in some synthetic tests in commit 6d390e4b5d48 (locks: fix a potential use-after-free problem when wakeup a waiter). Fix the race condition instead by clearing the fl_blocker pointer after the wakeup and by using smp_load_acquire and smp_store_release to handle the access. This means that we can no longer use the clearing of fl_blocker clearing as the wait condition, so switch over to checking whether the fl_blocked_member list is empty. [ jlayton: wait on the fl_blocked_requests list to go empty instead of the fl_blocker pointer to clear. ] Cc: yangerkun Cc: NeilBrown Fixes: 6d390e4b5d48 (locks: fix a potential use-after-free problem when wakeup a waiter) Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton --- fs/cifs/file.c | 3 ++- fs/locks.c | 43 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/cifs/file.c b/fs/cifs/file.c index 3b942ecdd4be..8f9d849a0012 100644 --- a/fs/cifs/file.c +++ b/fs/cifs/file.c @@ -1169,7 +1169,8 @@ cifs_posix_lock_set(struct file *file, struct file_lock *flock) rc = posix_lock_file(file, flock, NULL); up_write(&cinode->lock_sem); if (rc == FILE_LOCK_DEFERRED) { - rc = wait_event_interruptible(flock->fl_wait, !flock->fl_blocker); + rc = wait_event_interruptible(flock->fl_wait, + list_empty(&flock->fl_blocked_member)); if (!rc) goto try_again; locks_delete_block(flock); diff --git a/fs/locks.c b/fs/locks.c index 426b55d333d5..e78d37c73df5 100644 --- a/fs/locks.c +++ b/fs/locks.c @@ -725,7 +725,6 @@ static void __locks_delete_block(struct file_lock *waiter) { locks_delete_global_blocked(waiter); list_del_init(&waiter->fl_blocked_member); - waiter->fl_blocker = NULL; } static void __locks_wake_up_blocks(struct file_lock *blocker) @@ -740,6 +739,12 @@ static void __locks_wake_up_blocks(struct file_lock *blocker) waiter->fl_lmops->lm_notify(waiter); else wake_up(&waiter->fl_wait); + + /* + * Tell the world we're done with it - see comment at + * top of locks_delete_block(). + */ + smp_store_release(&waiter->fl_blocker, NULL); } } @@ -753,11 +758,32 @@ int locks_delete_block(struct file_lock *waiter) { int status = -ENOENT; + /* + * If fl_blocker is NULL, it won't be set again as this thread + * "owns" the lock and is the only one that might try to claim + * the lock.
