Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: Keep the dentry lock inode alive until callbacks drain
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:03:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pm-ocfs2-objects-candidate-0012-v5-a0413a339b72c02fc885@gmail.com> (raw)

The inode reference held by a DENTRY lock must outlive callbacks on
that lock. ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock() drops dl_inode before marking the
lock freeing and waiting for DLM unlock completion, although the BAST
path still reads dl_inode->i_sb in ocfs2_get_dentry_osb().

An EX request, such as a remote unlink or rename, can make the
downconvert worker delete all matching aliases. If no other inode
reference remains, its post_unlock callback performs the final iput().
The O2CB DLM can deliver another BAST while the request is still
blocked, for example when another holder releases the same resource:

  Downconvert worker                 DLM callback
  ------------------                 ------------
  Remove dentry aliases
  Clear QUEUED; post_unlock()
  ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock()
    iput(dl->dl_inode)
    [inode reclaimed after RCU]
                                     Duplicate BAST
                                     ocfs2_blocking_ast()
                                       ocfs2_get_dentry_osb()
                                         Read freed dl_inode->i_sb
  ocfs2_simple_drop_lockres()

Call ocfs2_simple_drop_lockres() before iput() so the existing inode
reference remains held while queued work and DLM callbacks are drained.
The inode can only be evicted after the DENTRY lock has been unlocked.
