[PATCH v3] NFSv4.0: nfs4_do_fsinfo() should not do implicit lease renewals

From: Robert Milkowski
Date: Mon Dec 30 2019 - 10:20:34 EST


From: Robert Milkowski <rmilkowski@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently, each time nfs4_do_fsinfo() is called it will do an implicit
NFS4 lease renewal, which is not compliant with the NFS4 specification.
This can result in a lease being expired by an NFS server.

Commit 83ca7f5ab31f ("NFS: Avoid PUTROOTFH when managing leases")
introduced implicit client lease renewal in nfs4_do_fsinfo(),
which can result in the NFSv4.0 lease to expire on a server side,
and servers returning NFS4ERR_EXPIRED or NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID.

This can easily be reproduced by frequently unmounting a sub-mount,
then stat'ing it to get it mounted again, which will delay or even
completely prevent client from sending RENEW operations if no other
NFS operations are issued. Eventually nfs server will expire client's
lease and return an error on file access or next RENEW.

This can also happen when a sub-mount is automatically unmounted
due to inactivity (after nfs_mountpoint_expiry_timeout), then it is
mounted again via stat(). This can result in a short window during
which client's lease will expire on a server but not on a client.
This specific case was observed on production systems.

This patch makes an explicit lease renewal instead of an implicit one,
by adding RENEW to a compound operation issued by nfs4_do_fsinfo(),
similarly to NFSv4.1 which adds SEQUENCE operation.

Fixes: 83ca7f5ab31f ("NFS: Avoid PUTROOTFH when managing leases")
