About

  • Kernel version: 2.6.22-rc1 and higher
  • Bug 23892
  • Reported by: Alexander Morozov (November 28, 2010)
  • Fixed by: Sergey Vlasov (November 28, 2010)
  • Closed by: Florain Mickler (January 23, 2011)


How to reproduce

  • Environment:
Debian Lenny with kernel 2.6.37-rc3 i686
nfs-common         1:1.1.2-6lenny2
nfs-kernel-server  1:1.1.2-6lenny2
172.22.0.10 is a server
172.22.0.11 is a client
  • /etc/exports on a server:
/srv/test  172.22.0.11(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
  • Steps to reproduce:
client# mount -t nfs 172.22.0.10:/srv/test /srv/test

server$ cd /srv/test
server$ ./linlock r file
press Ctrl-C...

client$ cd /srv/test
client$ ./linlock w file
fcntl: Resource temporary unavailable
client$ ./lockinfo file
F_UNLCK SEEK_SET start 0 len 0
  • ./linlock tool set read (r) or write (w) lock on a file.
  • ./lockinfo shows what F_GETLK returns. This test shows that a client can not set a write lock on a read lock of server but F_GETLK tells that file is not locked.
  • The bug does not occur if client with 2.6.21 kernel.
  • The bug occurs if client with 2.6.22-rc1 and higher.

    NFS: Fix fcntl F_GETLK not reporting some conflicts
    
    The commit 129a84de2347002f09721cda3155ccfd19fade40 (locks: fix F_GETLK
    regression (failure to find conflicts)) fixed the posix_test_lock()
    function by itself, however, its usage in NFS changed by the commit
    9d6a8c5c213e34c475e72b245a8eb709258e968c (locks: give posix_test_lock
    same interface as ->lock) remained broken - subsequent NFS-specific
    locking code received F_UNLCK instead of the user-specified lock type.
    To fix the problem, fl->fl_type needs to be saved before the
    posix_test_lock() call and restored if no local conflicts were reported.
