Subject: [PATCH 02/13] gfs2: Retries missing in gfs2_{rename,exchange}
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2026 16:30:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260123153105.797382-3-agruenba@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260123153105.797382-1-agruenba@redhat.com>
Fix a bug in gfs2's asynchronous glock handling for rename and exchange
operations. The original async implementation from commit ad26967b9afa
("gfs2: Use async glocks for rename") mentioned that retries were needed
but never implemented them, causing operations to fail with -ESTALE
instead of retrying on timeout.
Also makes the waiting interruptible.
In addition, the timeouts used were too high for situations in which
timing out is a rare but expected scenario. Switch to shorter timeouts
with randomization and exponentional backoff.
Fixes: ad26967b9afa ("gfs2: Use async glocks for rename")
