Subject[PATCH 2/7] fuse: no backgrounding on interrupt
From
Date
Don't put requests into the background when a fatal interrupt occurs
while the request is in userspace. This removes a major wart from the
implementation.

Backgrounding of requests was introduced to allow breaking of
deadlocks. However now the same can be achieved by aborting the
filesystem through the 'abort' sysfs attribute.

This is a change in the interface, but should not cause problems,
since these kinds of deadlocks never happen during normal operation.

- * Unfortunately request interruption not just solves the deadlock

- *
- * To release the locks is exactly why there's a need to interrupt the
- * request, so there's not a lot that can be done about this, except
- * introduce additional locking in userspace.
- *
- * More important is to keep inode and file references until userspace
- * has replied, otherwise FORGET and RELEASE could be sent while the
- * inode/file is still used by the filesystem.
- *
- * For this reason the concept of "background" request is introduced.
- * An interrupted request is backgrounded if it has been already sent
- * to userspace. Backgrounding involves getting an extra reference to
- * inode(s) or file used in the request, and adding the request to
- * fc->background list. When a reply is received for a background
- * request, the object references are released, and the request is
- * removed from the list. If the filesystem is unmounted while there
- * are still background requests, the list is walked and references
- * are released as if a reply was received.
- *
- * There's one more use for a background request. The RELEASE message is
- * always sent as background, since it doesn't return an error or
- * data.

-Solution is again to let the the request be interrupted (not
-elaborated further).
+Solution is basically the same as above.

An additional problem is that while the write buffer is being
copied to the request, the request must not be interrupted. This
is because the destination address of the copy may not be valid
after the request is interrupted.

-This is solved with doing the copy atomically, and allowing
-interruption while the page(s) belonging to the write buffer are
-faulted with get_user_pages(). The 'req->locked' flag indicates
-when the copy is taking place, and interruption is delayed until
-this flag is unset.

-Scenario 3 - Tricky deadlock with asynchronous read
----------------------------------------------------
-
-The same situation as above, except thread-1 will wait on page lock
-and hence it will be uninterruptible as well. The solution is to
-abort the connection with forced umount (if mount is attached) or
-through the abort attribute in sysfs.
