Subject: [PATCH] nfs: fix a deadlock in nfs v4.1 client initialization
Date: Tue,  7 Nov 2017 09:29:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171107142927.9468-1-smayhew@redhat.com> (raw)

The following deadlock can occur between a process waiting for a client
to initialize in while walking the client list and another process
waiting for the nfs_clid_init_mutex so it can initialize that client:

Process 1                               Process 2
---------                               ---------
spin_lock(&nn->nfs_client_lock);
list_add_tail(&CLIENTA->cl_share_link,
        &nn->nfs_client_list);
spin_unlock(&nn->nfs_client_lock);
                                        spin_lock(&nn->nfs_client_lock);
                                        list_add_tail(&CLIENTB->cl_share_link,
                                                &nn->nfs_client_list);
                                        spin_unlock(&nn->nfs_client_lock);
                                        mutex_lock(&nfs_clid_init_mutex);
                                        nfs41_walk_client_list(clp, result, cred);
                                        nfs_wait_client_init_complete(CLIENTA);
(waiting for nfs_clid_init_mutex)

Make sure nfs_match_client() only evaluates clients that have completed
initialization in order to prevent that deadlock.
