I should have mentioned this a day or two ago but I hadn't quite made
all the connection yet...

The RELEASE_LOCKOWNER bug was masking a double-free bug that was fixed
by
Commit 47446d74f170 ("nfsd4: add refcount for nfsd4_blocked_lock")
which landed in v5.17 and wasn't marked as a bugfix, and so has not gone to
stable kernels.

Any kernel earlier than v5.17 that receives the RELEASE_LOCKOWNER fix
also needs the nfsd4_blocked_lock fix. There is a minor follow-up fix
for that nfsd4_blocked_lock fix which Chuck queued yesterday.

The problem scenario is that an nfsd4_lock() call finds a conflicting
lock and so has a reference to a particular nfsd4_blocked_lock. A concurrent
nfsd4_read_lockowner call frees all the nfsd4_blocked_locks including
the one held in nfsd4_lock(). nfsd4_lock then tries to free the
blocked_lock it has, and results in a double-free or a use-after-free.

Before either patch is applied, the extra reference on the lock-owner
than nfsd4_lock holds causes nfsd4_realease_lockowner() to incorrectly
return an error and NOT free the blocks_lock.
With only the RELEASE_LOCKOWNER fix applied, the double-free happens.
With both patches applied the refcount on the nfsd4_blocked_lock prevents
the double-free.

Kernels before 4.9 are (probably) not affected as they didn't have
find_or_allocate_block() which takes the second reference to a shared
object. But that is ancient history - those kernels are well past EOL.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Then, instructions to [email protected]:

Do not apply the patches I just sent for 5.15, 5.10, and 5.4. I will
apply 47446d74f170, run the tests again, and resend.

Our test suite currently does not exercise this use case, apparently.
I didn't see a problem like this during testing.

Our OpenQA testing found it (as did our customer :-).
Quoting from a bugzilla that unfortunately is not public (though might
not be accessible to anyone with an account)

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219349

LTP test nfslock01.sh randomly fails on the latest SLE-15SP4 and
SLE-15SP5 KOTD. The failures appear only when testing NFS protocol
v4.0, other versions do not seem to be affected. The test either
gets stuck or sometimes triggers kernel oops. The contents of the
kernel backtrace vary. All archs appear to be affected.

Does your test suite cover v4.0? Does it include LTP ?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Thanks for letting us know, I've dropped them from my review queue.

pynfs covers v4.0 and v4.1.
I ran fstests and the git regression suite with only NFSv4.0.

kdevops doesn't include an LTP workflow at this time.
