Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] ceph: don't unregister an MDS session before removing its caps
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 19:45:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828174504.1247038-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com> (raw)

handle_session() removed the session from mdsc->sessions[] at the very
top of `CEPH_SESSION_CLOSE` handling, before taking `s_mutex`.
Between session unregistration and remove_session_caps(), the MDS rank
has no registered session while the old session still owns all caps it
was granted.

Any concurrent filesystem operation may walk into that and the next
__do_request() call registers a new session for this rank.  Once it is
open and the MDS issues caps, ceph_fill_inode() calls
ceph_add_cap(), which looks caps up by rank, not
by session identity, finding old caps linked to the old session.

The list_move_tail() call then moves the cap object to the new
session, which is already a bad thing to do.  Since it doesn't
decrement `old_session->s_nr_caps`, this will quickly run into a BUG()
instead of crashing:

  kernel BUG at fs/ceph/mds_client.c:1959!

That's BUG_ON(session->s_nr_caps > 0).

I was able to reproduce this reliably by delaying the close and
starting I/O during the delay.

This patch keeps the session registered with
`CEPH_MDS_SESSION_CLOSED`.  New requests will be put on the
`s_waiting` list where they will be resumed on the new session.
