Subject: [PATCH v2 10/23] NFSv4/flexfiles: Make the pinned device node pointer RCU-managed
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:29:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4e4f73676be9ae7669719ff5ed16bf20ddbb8ee5.1787327939.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787327939.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com>

Annotate mirror->dss[dss_id].mirror_ds as __rcu and convert the
remaining readers, completing the preparation for re-pointing the pinned
node while I/O is in flight:

 - ff_layout_get_mirror_ds() takes its reference under rcu_read_lock()
   with atomic_inc_not_zero(), retrying if it races a reset.  The
   resolve path takes the caller's reference before publishing the node
   with cmpxchg(), so a concurrent reset cannot drop the last reference
   under the caller: one reference is held for the installed pointer and
   one for the caller, and the pointer's reference is released elsewhere
   by xchg + put.
 - The availability scans hold rcu_read_lock() across the walk; they
   only test flags on the RCU-freed node.
 - ff_layout_cancel_io() holds a reference across the cancel and
   disconnect calls.  Both of its callers hold i_lock and nothing on
   that path sleeps, so the reference is not about blocking: it is
   what keeps the node alive between the RCU-protected read and the
   use of mirror_ds->ds.  The final put is never reached here, because
   the mirror's own pin outlives the loop -- which matters, since that
   put ends in nfs_put_client() and cannot run under a spinlock.
 - ff_layout_mirror_prepare_stats() reads the pointer with
   rcu_dereference() under rcu_read_lock().  i_lock, which both callers
   hold, is what excludes the re-pointing walk added later in this
   series; it does not exclude the resolve path's cmpxchg(), which runs
   from I/O submission, so the read cannot claim i_lock as its update-
   side lock.  A non-NULL pointer read there is stable regardless: the
   resolve path only ever installs over NULL.
 - ff_layout_free_mirror() tears down the last reference; no concurrency.

The pointer is still only ever set once per mirror lifetime, so there is
no behavior change; this commit makes the subsequent in-place re-resolve
on CB_NOTIFY_DEVICEID CHANGE safe to introduce.
