Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] nfsd: fix clock domain mismatch in clients_still_reclaiming()
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 10:30:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905143019.226151-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090316-elixir-stoke-86b2@gregkh>
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 09ea3eb9a518565f5bca386e81b993ed8825f5e8 ]
clients_still_reclaiming() computes a deadline from nn->boot_time
(CLOCK_REALTIME, ~1.7 billion) but compares it against
ktime_get_boottime_seconds() (CLOCK_BOOTTIME, seconds since boot).
The comparison is always false — it would take ~54 years of uptime
for BOOTTIME to exceed the REALTIME-derived deadline.
This means any client can hold the server in grace indefinitely by
sending CLAIM_PREVIOUS OPEN requests, blocking all non-reclaim
operations for all other clients.
Add boot_time_bt (CLOCK_BOOTTIME) alongside the existing boot_time
and use it for the deadline computation. boot_time (CLOCK_REALTIME)
is preserved for its cl_boot clientid-nonce role.
Fixes: 20b7d86f29d3 ("nfsd: use boottime for lease expiry calculation")
