From 2aa15890f3c191326678f1bd68af61ec6b8753ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:49:47 +0100 Subject: mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475" Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS. The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than one concurrent invocation per inode. For example: thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count. thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily returns without doing anything. Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to finish. Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(), which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called with or without i_mutex. This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping. [ We'll hopefully get rid of all this with the upcoming mm preemptibility series by Peter Zijlstra, the "mm: Remove i_mmap_mutex lockbreak" patch in particular. But that is for 2.6.39 ] Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Reported-by: Michael Leun Reported-by: Gurudas Pai Tested-by: Gurudas Pai Acked-by: Hugh Dickins Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/nilfs2/btnode.h | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/nilfs2/btnode.h') diff --git a/fs/nilfs2/btnode.h b/fs/nilfs2/btnode.h index 79037494f1e..1b8ebd888c2 100644 --- a/fs/nilfs2/btnode.h +++ b/fs/nilfs2/btnode.h @@ -37,7 +37,6 @@ struct nilfs_btnode_chkey_ctxt { struct buffer_head *newbh; }; -void nilfs_btnode_cache_init_once(struct address_space *); void nilfs_btnode_cache_init(struct address_space *, struct backing_dev_info *); void nilfs_btnode_cache_clear(struct address_space *); struct buffer_head *nilfs_btnode_create_block(struct address_space *btnc, -- cgit v1.2.3
