      NFS Exclusive open not supported bug · 46b9f8e1
      Andy Ryan authored
      When trying to open a file with the O_EXCL flag over NFS on a server that does
      not support exclusive mode, the file does not open.  The reason,
      rpc_call_sync returns a errno number, and not the nfs error number.  I fixed
      it by changing the status check in nfs3proc.c.  Either this is how it should
      be fixed, or rpc_call_sync should be fixed to return the NFS error.

      SUNRPC: Fix a potential race in rpc_wake_up_task() · 8aca67f0
      Trond Myklebust authored
      Use RCU to ensure that we can safely call rpc_finish_wakeup after we've
      called __rpc_do_wake_up_task. If not, there is a theoretical race, in which
      the rpc_task finishes executing, and gets freed first.

      Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix SUNRPC wakeup/execute race condition · cc4dc59e
      Christophe Saout authored
      The sunrpc scheduler contains a race condition that can let an RPC
      task end up being neither running nor on any wait queue. The race takes
      place between rpc_make_runnable (called from rpc_wake_up_task) and
      __rpc_execute under the following condition:
      
      First __rpc_execute calls tk_action which puts the task on some wait
      queue. The task is dequeued by another process before __rpc_execute
      continues its execution. While executing rpc_make_runnable exactly after
      setting the task `running' bit and before clearing the `queued' bit
      __rpc_execute picks up execution, clears `running' and subsequently
      both functions fall through, both under the false assumption somebody
      else took the job.
      
      Swapping rpc_test_and_set_running with rpc_clear_queued in
      rpc_make_runnable fixes that hole. This introduces another possible
      race condition that can be handled by checking for `queued' after
      setting the `running' bit.
      
      Bug noticed on a 4-way x86_64 system under XEN with an NFSv4 server
      on the same physical machine, apparently one of the few ways to hit
      this race condition at all.
