Subject: [PATCH -next] SUNRPC: Clean XPRT_CONGESTED of xprt->state when rpc task is killed

There is a problem with nfs hang on my machine, Steps to reproduce:

1.
echo "options sunrpc tcp_slot_table_entries=2" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sunrpc.conf
echo "options sunrpc tcp_max_slot_table_entries=2" >> /etc/modprobe.d/sunrpc.conf
and remount nfsv3: sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,nolock,proto=tcp 127.0.0.1:/root/nfs_server/ /root/nfs_client/

2.Run case
# cat case.sh
while true
do
ls &
done &

while true
do
killall ls
done &

[root@cuibixuan nfs_client]# cd /root/nfs_client/; sh case.sh

3. Run 'killall sh' to kill case after waiting 10 seconds

4. The nfs hang and xprt->state is 0x212(XPRT_CONGESTED):
[root@cuibixuan sunrpc]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/sunrpc/rpc_xprt/4/info
netid: tcp
addr: 127.0.0.1
port: 2049
state: 0x212

[root@cuibixuan sunrpc]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/sunrpc/rpc_clnt/4/tasks

15418 0080 -11 0x4 0x0 0 rpc_default_ops [sunrpc] nfsv3 GETATTR a:call_reserveresult [sunrpc] q:xprt_backlog

5. Enable ftrace

The kernel version of my machine is 4.19.91, and it can be fixed with
the following patch (in v4.19):

diff --git a/net/sunrpc/xprt.c b/net/sunrpc/xprt.c
index 793f595..2656048 100644

if (xprt->snd_task == task)
xprt_release_write(xprt, task);
}

I checked the -next code, there should be the same problem.

Subject: [PATCH -next] SUNRPC: Clean XPRT_CONGESTED of xprt->state when rpc task is killed

When the values of tcp_max_slot_table_entries and
sunrpc.tcp_slot_table_entries are lower than the number of rpc tasks,
xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot() in xprt_alloc_slot() will return -EAGAIN, and
then set xprt->state to XPRT_CONGESTED:
xprt_retry_reserve
->xprt_do_reserve
->xprt_alloc_slot
->xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot // return -EAGAIN and task->tk_rqstp is NULL
->xprt_add_backlog // set_bit(XPRT_CONGESTED, &xprt->state);

When rpc task is killed, XPRT_CONGESTED bit of xprt->state will not be
cleaned up and nfs hangs:
rpc_exit_task
->xprt_release // if (req == NULL) is true, then XPRT_CONGESTED
// bit not clean

Add xprt_wake_up_backlog(xprt) to clean XPRT_CONGESTED bit in
xprt_release().

I'm not seeing how this explanation makes sense. If the task doesn't
hold a slot, then freeing that task isn't going to clear the congestion
caused by all the slots being in use.

My point is that in that case 1, there is no slot to free, so there is
no change to the congestion state.

IOW: your patch is incorrect because it is trying to assign a slot in a
case where there is no slot to assign.

Hi,
I found the correct way to fix it, that is, do not free the request when
there are tasks in the xprt->backlog :-)
And it has been fixed by e877a88d1f06 (SUNRPC in case of backlog, hand
free slots directly to waiting task)
    commit e877a88d1f069edced4160792f42c2a8e2dba942
    Author: NeilBrown <[email protected]>
    Date:   Mon May 17 09:59:10 2021 +1000

    SUNRPC in case of backlog, hand free slots directly to waiting task

    If sunrpc.tcp_max_slot_table_entries is small and there are tasks
    on the backlog queue, then when a request completes it is freed and the
    first task on the queue is woken.  The expectation is that it will wake
    and claim that request.  However if it was a sync task and the waiting
    process was killed at just that moment, it will wake and NOT claim the
    request.
Thanks for your advice.

Thanks,
Bixuan Cui
