From 027b6ca02192f381a5a91237ba8a8cf625dc6f6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 16:04:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFSv4: Fix an infinite loop in the NFS state recovery code Marten Gajda states: I tracked the problem down to the function nfs4_do_open_expired. Within this function _nfs4_open_expired is called and may return -NFS4ERR_DELAY. When a further call to _nfs4_open_expired is executed and does not return -NFS4ERR_DELAY the "exception.retry" variable is not reset to 0, causing the loop to iterate again (and as long as err != -NFS4ERR_DELAY, probably forever) Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust --- fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c index e8df52d..49eebe2 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4proc.c @@ -1104,8 +1104,9 @@ static inline int nfs4_do_open_expired(struct nfs_open_context *ctx, struct nfs4 do { err = _nfs4_open_expired(ctx, state); - if (err == -NFS4ERR_DELAY) - nfs4_handle_exception(server, err, &exception); + if (err != -NFS4ERR_DELAY) + break; + nfs4_handle_exception(server, err, &exception); } while (exception.retry); return err; } -- 1.8.2.3
