Hi,
Thanks a lot for all the review and comments so far;) I'd like to send
the improved (V4) version of this patch.
This patch fixes a deadlock in OCFS2 ACL. We found this bug in OCFS2
and Samba integration using scenario, the symptom is several smbd
processes will be hung under heavy workload. Finally we found out it
is the nested PR lock calling that leads to this deadlock:
node1 node2
gr PR
|
V
PR(EX)---> BAST:OCFS2_LOCK_BLOCKED
|
V
rq PR
|
V
wait=1
After requesting the 2nd PR lock, the process "smbd" went into D
state. It can only be woken up when the 1st PR lock's RO holder equals
zero. There should be an ocfs2_inode_unlock in the calling path later
on, which can decrement the RO holder. But since it has been in
uninterruptible sleep, the unlock function has no chance to be called.
The related stack trace is:
