SUNRPC lients: Pipefs mount races
type: item
description: Hello, Trond. I found one more race in SUNRPC PipeFS mount notification and clients creation. Now the problem is in SUNRPC clients. Races are shown below: CPU#0 CPU#1 ------------------------------------ -------------------------------- nfs_create_rpc_client rpc_create rpc_new_client rpc_setup_pipedir (no sb) rpc_mount notifier_call(SUNRPC - clnt.c) rpc_register_client nfs_idmap_new nfs_mark_client_ready(NFS_CS_READY) notifier_call(NFS - idmap.c) __rpc_pipefs_event BUG_ON(cl_dentry == NULL) How would you prefer to fix this? Looks like we could either try to add SUNRPC client to the list before PipeFS dentry creation or create the dentry for SUNRPC client from NFS code in __rpc_pipefs_event() instead of BUG_ON. -- Best regards, Stanislav Kinsbursky
