fscache_disable_cookie() needs to clear the outstanding writes on the cookie it's disabling because they cannot be completed after. Without this, fscache_nfs_open_file() gets stuck because it disables the cookie when the file is opened for writing but can't uncache the pages till afterwards - otherwise there's a race between the open routine and anyone who already has it open R/O and is still reading from it. Looking in /proc/pid/stack of the offending process shows: [<ffffffffa0142883>] __fscache_wait_on_page_write+0x82/0x9b [fscache] [<ffffffffa014336e>] __fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages+0x91/0xe1 [fscache] [<ffffffffa01740fa>] nfs_fscache_open_file+0x59/0x9e [nfs] [<ffffffffa01ccf41>] nfs4_file_open+0x17f/0x1b8 [nfsv4] [<ffffffff8117350e>] do_dentry_open+0x16d/0x2b7 [<ffffffff811743ac>] vfs_open+0x5c/0x65 [<ffffffff81184185>] path_openat+0x785/0x8fb [<ffffffff81184343>] do_filp_open+0x48/0x9e [<ffffffff81174710>] do_sys_open+0x13b/0x1cb [<ffffffff811747b9>] SyS_open+0x19/0x1b [<ffffffff81001c44>] do_syscall_64+0x80/0x17a [<ffffffff8165c2da>] return_from_SYSCALL_64+0x0/0x7a [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Reported-by: Jianhong Yin <jiyin@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steve Dickson <steved@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
