The afs filesystem has a lock[*] that it uses to serialise I/O operations
going to the server (vnode->io_lock), as the server will only perform one
modification operation at a time on any given file or directory. This
prevents the the filesystem from filling up all the call slots to a server
with calls that aren't going to be executed in parallel anyway, thereby
allowing operations on other files to obtain slots.
[*] Note that is probably redundant for directories at least since
i_rwsem is used to serialise directory modifications and
lookup/reading vs modification. The server does allow parallel
non-modification ops, however.
When a file truncation op completes, we truncate the in-memory copy of the
file to match - but we do it whilst still holding the io_lock, the idea
being to prevent races with other operations.
However, if writeback starts in a worker thread simultaneously with
truncation (whilst notify_change() is called with i_rwsem locked, writeback
pays it no heed), it may manage to set PG_writeback bits on the pages that
will get truncated before afs_setattr_success() manages to call
truncate_pagecache(). Truncate will then wait for those pages - whilst
still inside io_lock:
# cat /proc/8837/stack
[<0>] wait_on_page_bit_common+0x184/0x1e7
[<0>] truncate_inode_pages_range+0x37f/0x3eb

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x2d/0x3a
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
The writeback operation, however, stalls indefinitely because it needs to
get the io_lock to proceed:
# cat /proc/5940/stack
[<0>] afs_get_io_locks+0x58/0x1ae
[<0>] afs_begin_vnode_operation+0xc7/0xd1

[<0>] worker_thread+0x117/0x1b9
[<0>] kthread+0xec/0xf1
[<0>] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30
and thus deadlock has occurred.
Note that whilst afs_setattr() calls filemap_write_and_wait(), the fact
that the caller is holding i_rwsem doesn't preclude more pages being
dirtied through an mmap'd region.
Fix this by:
(1) Use the vnode validate_lock to mediate access between afs_setattr()
and afs_writepages():
(a) Exclusively lock validate_lock in afs_setattr() around the whole
RPC operation.
(b) If WB_SYNC_ALL isn't set on entry to afs_writepages(), trying to
shared-lock validate_lock and returning immediately if we couldn't
get it.
(c) If WB_SYNC_ALL is set, wait for the lock.
The validate_lock is also used to validate a file and to zap its cache
if the file was altered by a third party, so it's probably a good fit
for this.
(2) Move the truncation outside of the io_lock in setattr, using the same
hook as is used for local directory editing.
This requires the old i_size to be retained in the operation record as
we commit the revised status to the inode members inside the io_lock
still, but we still need to know if we reduced the file size.
