[PATCH v2 1/3] nfsd: rework refcounting in filecache

Jeff Layton
2022-10-27T21:52:25Z

The filecache refcounting is a bit non-standard for something searchable
by RCU, in that we maintain a sentinel reference while it's hashed. This
in turn requires that we have to do things differently in the "put"
depending on whether its hashed, which we believe to have led to races.

There are other problems in here too. nfsd_file_close_inode_sync can end
up freeing an nfsd_file while there are still outstanding references to
it, and the handling

Rework the code so that the refcount is what drives the lifecycle. When
the refcount goes to zero, then unhash and rcu free the object.
