[PATCH 3/3] nilfs2: fix the nilfs_iget() vs. nilfs_new_inode() races

From: Ryusuke Konishi
Date: Mon Dec 01 2014 - 11:49:48 EST


same story as in commit 41080b5a240113328c607f22b849f653373db0ce
(similar ext2 fix) except that nilfs2 needs to use
insert_inode_locked4() instead of insert_inode_locked() and a bug of a
check for dead inodes needs to be fixed.

If nilfs_iget() is called from nfsd after nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), nilfs_iget() will wait for unlock_new_inode()
at the end of nilfs_mkdir()/nilfs_create()/etc to unlock the inode.

If nilfs_iget() is called before nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), it will create an in-core inode and read its
data from the on-disk inode. But, nilfs_iget() will find i_nlink
equals zero and fail at nilfs_read_inode_common(), which will lead it
to call iget_failed() and cleanly fail.

However, this sanity check doesn't work as expected for reused on-disk
inodes because they leave a non-zero value in i_mode field and it
hinders the test of i_nlink. This patch also fixes the issue by
removing the test on i_mode that nilfs2 doesn't need.
