Subject: [PATCH v4] ocfs2: cache the mount context for dentry lock callbacks
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 22:25:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pm-ocfs2-objects-candidate-0012-v9-eeb9084fb29577971229@gmail.com> (raw)

ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock() drops the inode reference before releasing the
DENTRY lock. This lets inode eviction release the local inode and open
locks before a remote unlink can proceed past the DENTRY lock.

A DLM callback can still arrive before the DENTRY lock has been dropped.
ocfs2_get_dentry_osb() obtains the mount context through dl_inode->i_sb,
which can access a freed inode when the downconvert thread drops the
last inode reference in its post-unlock callback:

  Downconvert thread                     DLM callback thread
  ------------------                     -------------------
  ocfs2_process_blocked_lock()
    ocfs2_dentry_post_unlock()
      ocfs2_dentry_lock_put()
        ocfs2_drop_dentry_lock()
          iput(dl->dl_inode)
          [inode reclaimed after RCU]
                                         ocfs2_blocking_ast()
                                           ocfs2_get_dentry_osb()
                                             dl->dl_inode->i_sb
          ocfs2_simple_drop_lockres()

Store the mount context in the DENTRY lock resource's l_priv field and
use the default mount-context lookup. Recover the containing dentry
lock with container_of(), as already done for refcount locks, and remove
ocfs2_get_dentry_osb(). ocfs2_dismount_volume() shuts down the DLM before
freeing the mount context, so callbacks can use it without accessing the
inode. Preserve the existing iput-before-unlock order to avoid delaying
local inode and open lock release until after the DENTRY lock is released.

Changes in v4:
- Drop the convert-worker change from v3. Keep MAYBE_ORPHANED marking before
  the extra-reference check, including the dl_count == 0 path needed for
  local orphan cleanup.
- Retain the osb cache from v2 and the original iput-before-unlock order;
  remove the incorrect worker-lifetime claims from the commit message.

Changes in v3:
- Move the inode lookup and MAYBE_ORPHANED update after the existing
  FREEING/dl_count guard and successful extra-reference acquisition,
  addressing Joseph Qi's review.
- Keep the osb cache from v2 and preserve iput-before-unlock ordering.

Changes in v2:
- Preserve the existing iput-before-unlock order and cache the mount context
  in the lock resource's existing l_priv field instead.
- Recover the containing dentry lock with container_of() and remove the
  inode-dependent mount-context lookup.
- Correct the comment describing the dentry lock's inode reference.
