SMB3: EBADF/EIO errors in rename/open caused by race condition in smb2_compound_op
There is a race condition in smb2_compound_op: after_close: num_rqst++; if (cfile) { cifsFileInfo_put(cfile); // sends SMB2_CLOSE to the server cfile = NULL; This is triggered by smb2_query_path_info operation that happens during revalidate_dentry. In smb2_query_path_info, get_readable_path is called to load the cfile, increasing the reference counter. If in the meantime, this reference becomes the very last, this call to cifsFileInfo_put(cfile) will trigger a SMB2_CLOSE request sent to the server just before sending this compound request – and so then the compound request fails either with EBADF/EIO depending on the timing at the server, because the handle is already closed. In the first scenario, the race seems to be happening between smb2_query_path_info triggered by the rename operation, and between “cleanup” of asynchronous writes – while fsync(fd) likely waits for the asynchronous writes to complete, releasing the writeback structures can happen after the close(fd) call. So the EBADF/EIO errors will pop up if the timing is such that: 1) There are still outstanding references after close(fd) in the writeback structures 2) smb2_query_path_info successfully fetches the cfile, increasing the refcounter by 1 3) All writeback structures release the same cfile, reducing refcounter to 1 4) smb2_compound_op is called with that cfile In the second scenario, the race seems to be similar – here open triggers the smb2_query_path_info operation, and if all other threads in the meantime decrease the refcounter to 1 similarly to the first scenario, again SMB2_CLOSE will be sent to the server just before issuing the compound request. This case is harder to reproduce.
