Re: Umount failing due to a file leak on 3.18 Android

I am looking into a bug that results in umount failures ( since there
is a mount ref from the leaked file that is never freed on the mount )

The issue seems to be a result of the following callstack

      39.958104:   <6> Call trace:
      39.958108:   <2> [<ffffffc0001baa58>] fput+0x1e0/0x1f8
      39.958113:   <2> [<ffffffc0001b6ce8>] filp_close+0xa0/0xb8
      39.958119:   <2> [<ffffffc0001d3ca8>] put_files_struct+0x88/0xf0
      39.958123:   <2> [<ffffffc000973c40>]
binder_deferred_func+0x6a8/0x704
      39.958129:   <2> [<ffffffc0000ba32c>] process_one_work+0x238/0x3f0
      39.958133:   <2> [<ffffffc0000bb160>] worker_thread+0x2f8/0x418

What seems to occur is that once in a while a file ( say a.txt) is
fput in the above stack
right as the task is being killed

And then we see that the  fput schedules a delayed_fput_work on this
file

But when the function delayed_fput() is actually run :
     the file that was put i.e this a.txt is not in the delayed_fput_list

Any chance you can help me get to the bottom of this leak?
I dont understand why the delayed_fput_list is missing the file.

Is there some sort of race condition?


I will appreciate any pointers you can give me to debug this issue
Thanks so much in advance for your help.
