[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] OCFS2: fix for nfs getting stale inode.

Wed Oct 22 21:19:21 PDT 2008


Ocfs2 supports exporting. 

PROBLEM:
There are 2 problems
(1) Current version of ocfs2_get_dentry() may read from disk
the inode WITHOUT any cross cluster lock. This may lead to load a stale inode.
(2) for deleting an inode, ocfs2_remove_inode() doesn't sync/checkpoint to disk.
This also may lead ocfs2_get_dentry() from other node read out stale inode.

PROBLEM DETAIL:
for problem (1),
For inode deletion, after the vote--disk updating, on all nodes in the cluster 
domain, there shouldn't be an in-memory inode in question or the in-memory inode
is with OCFS2_INODE_DELETE flag indicating this inode is deleted from other
node.

If the ocfs2_get_dentry() happens during the process of delete-voting and disk
inode deletion. it may introduce a situation that
(A) there is the in-memory inode and
(B) this inode is without OCFS2_INODE_DELETE.

For later operations on the stale inode, this may leads to crash because of the 
mismatch of the in-memory generation against the on-disk one if a new inode 
occupied the same block.

for problem (2),
in ocfs2_delete_inode(), after disk updates, ocfs2_remove_inode() doesn't 
sync/checkpiont to make sure the IO has finished. ocfs2_get_dentry() may read out
a stale inode when JBD doesn't checkpoint yet(updates still only in memory).

SOLUTION:
(I) adds cross cluster lock for deletion and reading inode from nfs. Deletion
takes EX lock which blocks readings on the same inode block; readings take PR
lock which blocks deleting the same inode block.
(II) checkpoints disk updates for deletion within the cross cluster lock.

SOLUTION DETAILS:
By adding the cross cluster lock, reading a block via ocfs2_get_dentry() may be
blocked when a different block is under deleting from other nodes.
To abate that, a couple of such cross cluster locks are used. all blocks go to 
those locks. It's unlucky for the reading of a block which is goes to the same 
lock as a different block under deleting goes to.
