From 8c93cbb4ba307e47f61c5551023bd82842f184ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Poornima G Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 19:57:08 +0530 Subject: libglusterfs: Fix a read hang Backport of http://review.gluster.org/#/c/15923/ Issue: ===== In certain cases, there was no unwind of read from read-ahead xlator, thus resulting in hang. RCA: ==== In certain cases, ioc_readv() issues STACK_WIND_TAIL() instead of STACK_WIND(). One such case is when inode_ctx for that file is not present (can happen if readdirp was called, and populates md-cache and serves all the lookups from cache). Consider the following graph: ... io-cache (parent) | readdir-ahead | read-ahead ... Below is the code snippet of ioc_readv calling STACK_WIND_TAIL: ioc_readv() { ... if (!inode_ctx) STACK_WIND_TAIL (frame, FIRST_CHILD (frame->this), FIRST_CHILD (frame->this)->fops->readv, fd, size, offset, flags, xdata); /* Ideally, this stack_wind should wind to readdir-ahead:readv() but it winds to read-ahead:readv(). See below for explaination. */ ... } STACK_WIND_TAIL (frame, obj, fn, ...) { frame->this = obj; /* for the above mentioned graph, frame->this will be readdir-ahead * frame->this = FIRST_CHILD (frame->this) i.e. readdir-ahead, which * is as expected */ ... THIS = obj; /* THIS will be read-ahead instead of readdir-ahead!, as obj expands * to "FIRST_CHILD (frame->this)" and frame->this was pointing * to readdir-ahead in the previous statement. */ ... fn (frame, obj, params); /* fn will call read-ahead:readv() instead of readdir-ahead:readv()! * as fn expands to "FIRST_CHILD (frame->this)->fops->readv" and * frame->this was pointing ro readdir-ahead in the first statement */ ... } Thus, the readdir-ahead's readv() implementation will be skipped, and ra_readv() will be called with frame->this = "readdir-ahead" and this = "read-ahead". This can lead to corruption / hang / other problems. But in this perticular case, when 'frame->this' and 'this' passed to ra_readv() doesn't match, it causes ra_readv() to call ra_readv() again!. Thus the logic of read-ahead readv() falls apart and leads to hang. Solution: ========= Modify STACK_WIND_TAIL() as: STACK_WIND_TAIL (frame, obj, fn, ...) { next_xl = obj /* resolve obj as the variables passed in obj macro can be overwritten in the further instrucions */ next_xl_fn = fn /* resolve fn and store in a tmp variable, before modifying any variables */ frame->this = next_xl; ... THIS = next_xl; ... next_xl_fn (frame, next_xl, params); ... } >Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/15923 >Smoke: Gluster Build System >NetBSD-regression: NetBSD Build System >Reviewed-by: Rajesh Joseph >CentOS-regression: Gluster Build System >Reviewed-by: Raghavendra G (Cherry picked from commit 8943c19a2ef51b6e4fa66cb57211d469fe558579) BUG: 1399024 Change-Id: Ie662ac8f18fa16909376f1e59387bc5b886bd0f9 Signed-off-by: Poornima G Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.org/15935 NetBSD-regression: NetBSD Build System CentOS-regression: Gluster Build System Smoke: Gluster Build System Reviewed-by: Pranith Kumar Karampuri --- libglusterfs/src/stack.h | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'libglusterfs') diff --git a/libglusterfs/src/stack.h b/libglusterfs/src/stack.h index cbf7e9adb95..de2179d0051 100644 --- a/libglusterfs/src/stack.h +++ b/libglusterfs/src/stack.h @@ -279,17 +279,19 @@ STACK_RESET (call_stack_t *stack) #define STACK_WIND_TAIL(frame, obj, fn, params ...) \ do { \ xlator_t *old_THIS = NULL; \ + xlator_t *next_xl = obj; \ + typeof(fn) next_xl_fn = fn; \ \ - frame->this = obj; \ + frame->this = next_xl; \ frame->wind_to = #fn; \ old_THIS = THIS; \ - THIS = obj; \ + THIS = next_xl; \ gf_msg_trace ("stack-trace", 0, \ "stack-address: %p, " \ "winding from %s to %s", \ frame->root, old_THIS->name, \ THIS->name); \ - fn (frame, obj, params); \ + next_xl_fn (frame, next_xl, params); \ THIS = old_THIS; \ } while (0) -- cgit
