PATCH 1/1 ocfs2/dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource

There is a race between purge and get lock resource, which will lead to ast unfinished and system hung. The case is described below:

mkdir dlm_thread
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

o2cb_dlm_lock                        |
-> dlmlock                           |
  -> dlm_get_lock_resource           |
    -> __dlm_lookup_lockres_full     |
      -> spin_unlock(&dlm->spinlock) |
                                     | dlm_run_purge_list
                                     | -> dlm_purge_lockres
                                     |   -> dlm_drop_lockres_ref
                                     |   -> spin_lock(&dlm->spinlock)
                                     |   -> spin_lock(&res->spinlock)
                                     |   -> ~DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF
                                     |   -> spin_unlock(&res->spinlock)
                                     |   -> spin_unlock(&dlm->spinlock)
      -> spin_lock(&tmpres->spinlock)|
      DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF cleared |
      -> spin_unlock(&tmpres->spinlock) |
      return the purged lockres         |

So after this, once ast comes, it will ingore the ast because the lockres cannot be found anymore. Thus the OCFS2_LOCK_BUSY won't be cleared and corresponding thread hangs.
The &dlm->spinlock was hold when checking DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF at the very begining. And commit 7b791d6856 (ocfs2/dlm: Fix race during lockres mastery) moved it up because of the possible wait. So take the &dlm->spinlock and introduce a new wait function to fix the race.

PATCH 1/1 ocfs2/dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource

Quoted 32 lines · Joseph Qi

There is a race between purge and get lock resource, which will lead to ast unfinished and system hung. The case is described below:

mkdir dlm_thread
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

o2cb_dlm_lock                        |

                                     | dlm_run_purge_list
                                     | -> dlm_purge_lockres
                                     |   -> dlm_drop_lockres_ref
                                     |   -> spin_lock(&dlm->spinlock)
                                     |   -> spin_lock(&res->spinlock)

      DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF cleared |

This is pretty nasty. Theoretically this could spin forever, if other tasks are setting the flag in a suitably synchronized fashion.

Is there no clean approach? A reorganization of the locking?

Do you mean the flag won't be cleared forever? If so, only taking &res->spinlock also has the same risk. But we haven't found this in our test/production environments so far.
To fix the race case above, I don't have another approach besides taking &dlm->spinlock.

Sorry, just found this patch was sent twice, i reply on the first one. This fix looks complicated. I posted another simpler fix on old thread.

Thanks,

So after this, once ast comes, it will ingore the ast because the lockres cannot be found anymore. Thus the OCFS2_LOCK_BUSY won't be cleared and corresponding thread hangs.
The &dlm->spinlock was hold when checking DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF at the very begining. And commit 7b791d6856 (ocfs2/dlm: Fix race during lockres mastery) moved it up because of the possible wait. So take the &dlm->spinlock and introduce a new wait function to fix the race.

Ok, I _think_ I understand the deadlock. But we can't say for sure who will come and wake up the sleeping process? If that's the case I don't think we want this for -stable right now.

Is it possible to rework this using wait_event()? The code you copied from __dlm_wait_on_lockres_flags() is seriously ugly :(

PATCH 1/1 ocfs2/dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource

Hi Mark,

Quoted 35 lines · Mark Fasheh

Hi Joseph, thanks for finding and trying to fix this bug.

Quoted 23 lines · Joseph Qi

There is a race between purge and get lock resource, which will lead to ast unfinished and system hung. The case is described below:

mkdir dlm_thread
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

o2cb_dlm_lock                        |
-> dlmlock                           |
  -> dlm_get_lock_resource           |
    -> __dlm_lookup_lockres_full     |
      -> spin_unlock(&dlm->spinlock) |
                                     | dlm_run_purge_list
                                     | -> dlm_purge_lockres
                                     |   -> dlm_drop_lockres_ref
                                     |   -> spin_lock(&dlm->spinlock)
                                     |   -> spin_lock(&res->spinlock)
                                     |   -> ~DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF
                                     |   -> spin_unlock(&res->spinlock)
                                     |   -> spin_unlock(&dlm->spinlock)
      -> spin_lock(&tmpres->spinlock)|
      DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF cleared |
      -> spin_unlock(&tmpres->spinlock) |
      return the purged lockres         |

Ok, I _think_ I understand the deadlock. But we can't say for sure who will come and wake up the sleeping process? If that's the case I don't think we want this for -stable right now.

For DLM_LOCK_RES_DROPPING_REF, only dlm_thread will do it during purging lockres.
For others three (DLM_LOCK_RES_IN_PROGRESS|DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING| DLM_LOCK_RES_MIGRATING), many flows are involved.

This bug has been found in our test environment when running race testcase. We can reproduce it in the following steps:
1) dreate a dir/file in N1, then N1 is the owner (take open lockres for example);
2) drop cache in N1 and then ls the dir/file in N2, so N2 is the owner now;
3) rm the dir/file in N1, the lockres is scheduled to be purged;
4) create the dir/file again in N1.
To 100% reproduce it, we can inject some delay right after lookup lockres and drop the &dlm->spinlock.

Andrew has the same comments:)
Since __dlm_wait_on_lockres_flags is used in many other places, so I just copied the logic and add mine to limit the impact.
Reworking and then testing it may take much time:)
