Do we? I can see nfs4_set_delegation adding a new delegation for a new client without entering the vfs at all if there is already a lease held. If there isn't a lease already, vfs_setlease() is called, which doesn't its own internal locking of course. Much the same applies to unsetting delegations. Breaking delegations involves nfsd_break_deleg_cb() which has a comment that it is called with i_lock held.... that seems to be used to be sure that it is safe to a reference to the delegation state id. Is that the only dependency on the vfs locking, or did I miss something? > > I guess you're suggesting adding a second mechanism to prevent > delegations being given out on the inode.

We would also need to be able to look up an nfs4_file by inode (why *are* they hashed by file handle??) and add some wait queue somewhere so the breaker could wait for a delegation to be returned. My big-picture point is that any complexity created by NFSD's choice to merge delegations to multiple clients into a single vfs-level delegation should be handled by NFSD, and not imposed on the VFS. It certainly makes sense for the VFS to understand that certain operations are being performed by an fl_owner_t, and to allow delegations to that owner to remain. It doesn't make as much sense for the VFS to understand that there is a finer granularity of ownership than the one that it already supports. Thanks, NeilBrown

By "delegations", I meant locks of type FL_DELEG. But even then I was wrong, apologies. There is an inode_trylock in generic_add_lease that will prevent any new delegations from being given while the inode's locked. > If there isn't a lease already, vfs_setlease() is called, which doesn't > its own internal locking of course.

That was ca9432178378 "nfsd: Use the filehandle to look up the struct nfs4_file instead of inode" which doesn't give a full justification. Later commits suggest it might be about keeping nfsv4 state in many-to-one filehandle->inode cases (spec requirement, I believe) and preventing the nfs4_file from pinning the inode (not seeing immediately why that was an issue). Anyway, I can't think of a reason why hashing the filehandle's a problem. > and add some wait queue somewhere > so the breaker could wait for a delegation to be returned. In the nfsd case we're just returning to the client immediately, so that's not really necessary, though maybe it could be useful. > My big-picture point is that any complexity created by NFSD's choice to > merge delegations to multiple clients into a single vfs-level delegation > should be handled by NFSD, and not imposed on the VFS. > It certainly makes sense for the VFS to understand that certain > operations are being performed by an fl_owner_t, and to allow > delegations to that owner to remain.

Fair enough, I'll think about that. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
