Hi Solomon,

Thanks for CC’ing Matthew. I saw a couple of review requests from him but they were abandoned. So, not sure which ones are valid patches.

Thanks,

Sriram

Weren’t there a bunch of fixes from devore (cc’ed) where the union of mutex and something else (condition variable?) weren’t used consistently? That was the first thing that popped in my mind for EINVAL.

There are some possibly related fixes in V3.4 that aren’t in V2.8.4 but they don’t look like they might be relevant.

I do know that delegations have not been well tested lately, so if you’re using delegations, there might well be a lock problem.

Subject: [NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Failed to grab state owner mutex in _state_del_locked

Hi,

Recently we have been observing a ganesha abort because it receives EINVAL when trying to lock the state owner lock (owner->so_mutex).

2021-03-28T10:09:12Z : epoch 605fa7ae : w1hs3i1902.vsanstfsad.local : ganesha.nfsd-90[none] [dbus_heartbeat] 397 :_state_del_locked :RW LOCK :Error 22, acquiring mutex 0x7f2fc4007958 (&owner->so_mutex) at /build/mts/release/bora-17422501/cayman_nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/src/src/SAL/nfs4_state.c:397

I modified some macros and printed RW LOCK activities whenever mutex name is “&owner->so_mutex”. In this, I observed that the lock is never destroyed. So, this EINVAL error is confusing. The EINVAL is observed when removing the export. The previous log for the lock is in DELEG RETURN.

I am not very familiar with the NFSv4 state owner code. But does this look like some known issue?

Note: We are using ganesha 2.8.4

Thanks,

Sriram
