[PATCH v3 2/4] SUNRPC: fix races on PipeFS UMOUNT notifications

From: Stanislav Kinsbursky
Date: Mon Jun 24 2013 - 03:53:04 EST


CPU#0 CPU#1
----------------------------- -----------------------------
rpc_kill_sb
sn->pipefs_sb = NULL rpc_release_client
(UMOUNT_EVENT) rpc_free_auth
rpc_pipefs_event
rpc_get_client_for_event
!atomic_inc_not_zero(cl_count)
<skip the client>
atomic_inc(cl_count)
rpc_free_client
rpc_clnt_remove_pipedir
<skip client dir removing>

To fix this, this patch does the following:

1) Calls RPC_PIPEFS_UMOUNT notification with sn->pipefs_sb_lock being held.
2) Removes SUNRPC client from the list AFTER pipes destroying.
3) Doesn't hold RPC client on notification: if client in the list, then it
can't be destroyed while sn->pipefs_sb_lock in hold by notification caller.
