When an NFS (V4 specifically) client loses contact with the server it can
lose any locks that it holds.
Currently when it reconnects to the server it simply tries to reclaim
those locks.  This might succeed even though some other client has held and
released a lock in the mean time.  So the first client might think the file
is unchanged, but it isn't.  This isn't good.

If, when recovery happens, the locks cannot be claimed because some other
client still holds the lock, then  we get a message in the kernel logs, but
the client can still write.  So two clients can both think they have a lock
and can both write at the same time.  This is equally not good.

There was a patch a while ago
  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/41917

which tried to address some of this, but it didn't seem to go anywhere.
That patch would also send a signal to the process.  That might be useful
but I'm really just interested in failing the writes.
For NFSv4 (unlike v2/v3) there is a strong link between the lock and the
write request so we can fairly easily fail an IO of the lock is gone.

The patch below attempts to do this.  Does it make sense?
Because this is a fairly big change I introduces a module parameter
"recover_locks" which defaults to true (the current behaviour) but can be set
to "false" to tell the client not to try to recover things that were lost.

Comments?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Current behaviour is broken, why do we want to keep it? I would say, set
it to 'False' by default, and if someone really wants the current broken
behavior, they can set it to 'True'

Do we want to check for only -EIO return and ignore other errors?

(lsp) and (lsp != NULL): They are same, but it would be good to have the
same check. Also, Trond likes to return EBADF rather than EIO in this
lock loss case. You may need to change EIO to EBADF.

The patch looks good. Thank you.

Failing a read or write when we can't recover a lock over the range
seems reasonable to me. IIUC though, you're also saying that we
shouldn't try to recover locks when the lease has expired? If so, then
that seems wrong...

Isn't it the responsibility of the server to not allow a lock to be
reclaimed when there has been a conflicting lock in the interim? It's
quite possible (and even advantageous) for a server to hold onto a lock
for a client that has missed renewing its lease when no other client has
made a conflicting lock request.

Hi Jeff,
I had thought that too.  But when I looked I could find no evidence for it.
The only time a client can 'reclaim' a lock is during the grace period when
the server might have lost the lock due to a reboot.
The case I'm looking at is when neither host rebooted but there was a network
partition.
I think that if the server is to preserve the lock while no other client
contends it, it has to preserve the whole state and not return
NFS4ERR_EXPIRED.
Once the client gets NFS4ERR_EXPIRED it must assume that all related locks
may have been subject to conflicting locks from other clients.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Ahh, a very good point. So I guess to reiterate, NFS4ERR_EXPIRED means
that the state (if there was any) has been purged, and all bets are
off. So yeah, ok...trying to reclaim locks at that point is probably
wrong.

That said...why is the server granting those lock reclaims in this case?
Presumably the grace period has passed and it shouldn't be granting any
reclaim requests, right?

After NFS4ERR_EXPIRED, our client uses a normal open ( OPEN(CLAIM_NULL) ).  That is allowed any time the server is out of its grace period.

I think this patch is close to being usable. A couple of questions,
though:

     1. What happens if another process' open() causes us to receive a
        delegation after NFS_LOCK_LOST has been set on our lock stateid,
        but before we call nfs4_set_rw_stateid()?
     2. Shouldn't we clear NFS_LOCK_LOST at some point? It looks to me
        as if a process which sees the EIO, and decides to recover by
        calling close(), reopen()ing the file and then locking it again,
        might find NFS_LOCK_LOST still being set.

Cheers
