nfs/pnfs: fix nfs_direct_req ref leak when i/o falls back to the mds
Currently when falling back to doing I/O through the MDS (via pnfs_{read|write}_through_mds), the client frees the nfs_pgio_header without releasing the reference taken on the dreq via pnfs_generic_pg_{read|write}pages -> nfs_pgheader_init -> nfs_direct_pgio_init. It then takes another reference on the dreq via nfs_generic_pg_pgios -> nfs_pgheader_init -> nfs_direct_pgio_init and as a result the requester will become stuck in inode_dio_wait. Once that happens, other processes accessing the inode will become stuck as well. Ensure that pnfs_read_through_mds() and pnfs_write_through_mds() clean up correctly by calling hdr->completion_ops->completion() instead of calling hdr->release() directly. This can be reproduced (sometimes) by performing "storage failover takeover" commands on NetApp filer while doing direct I/O from a client. This can also be reproduced using SystemTap to simulate a failure while doing direct I/O from a client (from Dave Wysochanski <dwysocha@redhat.com>): stap -v -g -e 'probe module("nfs_layout_nfsv41_files").function("nfs4_fl_prepare_ds").return { $return=NULL; exit(); }' Suggested-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com> Signed-off-by: Scott Mayhew <smayhew@redhat.com> Fixes: 1ca018d2 ("pNFS: Fix a memory leak when attempted pnfs fails") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>
