Subject: [PATCH 04/10] nfsd: dedup nfs4_client_to_reclaim inserts
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 17:55:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528-nfsd-fixes-v1-4-e78708eff77d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528-nfsd-fixes-v1-0-e78708eff77d@kernel.org>

From: Chris Mason <clm@meta.com>

nfs4_client_to_reclaim() unconditionally allocates a new
nfs4_client_reclaim, prepends it to reclaim_str_hashtbl[], and bumps
reclaim_str_hashtbl_size with no check for an existing entry for the
same client name.  After a reboot with a populated recovery directory
that inflates the counter by one for every client that reclaims:

    boot:    load_recdir()
               nfs4_client_to_reclaim(name)   /* entry #1, size++ */

    grace:   RECLAIM_COMPLETE
               __nfsd4_create_reclaim_record_grace()
                 nfs4_client_to_reclaim(name) /* entry #2, size++ */

inc_reclaim_complete() ends the grace period early only when

    atomic_inc_return(&nn->nr_reclaim_complete) ==
        nn->reclaim_str_hashtbl_size

With reclaim_str_hashtbl_size at 2N and nr_reclaim_complete capped at
N, the equality never holds and the fast end-of-grace path is dead.
The grace period always runs out the full 90-second laundromat timer,
and the shadow entry left in the hash table carries a dangling cr_clp
for any reader that walks it.

Fix nfs4_client_to_reclaim() to compute strhashval first, look the
name up with nfsd4_find_reclaim_client(), and on a hit fold the new
princhash into the existing record (if it lacks one) and return that
record without allocating or touching reclaim_str_hashtbl_size.  On
kmemdup() failure during the fold-in, return NULL so
__cld_pipe_inprogress_downcall() surfaces -EFAULT to nfsdcld, matching
the miss-path contract.

Because the fold-in writes cr_princhash.data and cr_princhash.len on
a record that is already linked into reclaim_str_hashtbl[], pair the
two stores with smp_store_release() on .len after WRITE_ONCE() on
.data, and have nfsd4_cld_check_v2() read .len with smp_load_acquire()
before READ_ONCE() on .data, so a concurrent principal-hash check
cannot observe a torn (data, len) pair.

Fixes: 362063a595be ("nfsd: keep a tally of RECLAIM_COMPLETE operations when using nfsdcld")
