    cifs: Release folio lock on fscache read hit. · 69513dd6
    Russell Harmon via samba-technical authored
    Under the current code, when cifs_readpage_worker is called, the call
    contract is that the callee should unlock the page. This is documented
    in the read_folio section of Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst as:
    
    > The filesystem should unlock the folio once the read has completed,
    > whether it was successful or not.
    
    Without this change, when fscache is in use and cache hit occurs during
    a read, the page lock is leaked, producing the following stack on
    subsequent reads (via mmap) to the page:
    
    $ cat /proc/3890/task/12864/stack
    [<0>] folio_wait_bit_common+0x124/0x350
    [<0>] filemap_read_folio+0xad/0xf0
    [<0>] filemap_fault+0x8b1/0xab0
    [<0>] __do_fault+0x39/0x150
    [<0>] do_fault+0x25c/0x3e0
    [<0>] __handle_mm_fault+0x6ca/0xc70
    [<0>] handle_mm_fault+0xe9/0x350
    [<0>] do_user_addr_fault+0x225/0x6c0
    [<0>] exc_page_fault+0x84/0x1b0
    [<0>] asm_exc_page_fault+0x27/0x30
    
    This requires a reboot to resolve; it is a deadlock.
    
    Note however that the call to cifs_readpage_from_fscache does mark the
    page clean, but does not free the folio lock. This happens in
    __cifs_readpage_from_fscache on success. Releasing the lock at that
    point however is not appropriate as cifs_readahead also calls
    cifs_readpage_from_fscache and *does* unconditionally release the lock
    after its return. This change therefore effectively makes
    cifs_readpage_worker work like cifs_readahead.
