[PATCH v2 0/3] ceph: fix might_sleep while atomic

From: Jim Schutt
Date: Wed May 15 2013 - 12:38:48 EST


This patch series fixes an issue where encode_caps_cb() ends up
calling kmap() while holding a spinlock.

The original patch (http://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg14573.html)
was expanded to fix some other outstanding issues noticed by Alex Elder
in his review.

Changes from the original version:

- clean up a comment
- add missing calls to cpu_to_le32()
- eliminate unnecessary loop around calls to ceph_pagelist_append()
- only loop on calls to ceph_count_locks() and ceph_encode_locks_to_buffer()
if the number of locks changes; exit on other errors
- return proper error code from encode_caps_cb() if kmalloc fails

In his review, Alex mentioned that he hadn't checked that num_fcntl_locks
and num_flock_locks were properly decoded on the server side, from a le32
over-the-wire type to a cpu type. I checked, and AFAICS it is done; those
interested can consult Locker::_do_cap_update() in src/mds/Locker.cc and
src/include/encoding.h in the Ceph server code (git://github.com/ceph/ceph).

I also checked the server side for flock_len decoding, and I believe that
also happens correctly, by virtue of having been declared __le32 in
struct ceph_mds_cap_reconnect, in src/include/ceph_fs.h.

Jim Schutt (3):
ceph: fix up comment for ceph_count_locks() as to which lock to hold
ceph: add missing cpu_to_le32() calls when encoding a reconnect capability
ceph: ceph_pagelist_append might sleep while atomic
