Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fixes for nfs4_proc_mkdir() error handling
Date: Fri, 16 May 2025 11:00:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250516150010.61641-1-anna@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@oracle.com>
The PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() macro uses IS_ERR(), which checks if an error
value is a valid Linux error code. It does not take into account NFS
error codes, which are well out of the range of MAX_ERRNO. So if
_nfs4_proc_mkdir() returns -NFS4ERR_DELAY (which xfstests generic/477 was
able to consistently hit while running against a Hammerspace server),
PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() will happily say "no, that's not an error", so we
propagate it up to the VFS who then tries to dput() it.
Naturally, the kernel doesn't like this:

While I was in the area, I noticed that we're discarding any errors left
unhandled by nfs4_handle_exception(). This patch fixes both of these
issues.
Fixes: 8376583b84a1 ("nfs: change mkdir inode_operation to return alternate dentry if needed.")
