I have gone ahead and backported the fixes for xenial's 4.4 kernel. This patch series is for ubuntu-xenial 4.4: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Kj43J6H3Hm/
This patch series is for vanilla upstream 4.4: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MzdjcHCqbz/ Both patch and compile and fix the problem. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Matthew Ruffell (mruffell) ** Tags added: sts ** Description changed: - The "fanotify07" and "fanotify08" from the LTP syscall tests has failed - on a testing node with Trusty kernel installed. + BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1775165 + + [Impact] + + When userspace tasks which are processing fanotify permission events act + incorrectly, the fsnotify_mark_srcu SRCU is held indefinitely which causes + the whole notification subsystem to hang. + + This has been seen in production, and it can also be seen when running the + Linux Test Project testsuite, specifically fanotify07. + + [Fix] + + Instead of holding the SRCU lock while waiting for userspace to respond, + which may never happen, or not in the order we are expecting, we drop the + fsnotify_mark_srcu SRCU lock before waiting for userspace response, and then + reacquire the lock again when userspace responds. + + The fixes are from a series of upstream commits: + + 05f0e38724e8449184acd8fbf0473ee5a07adc6c (cherry-pick) + 9385a84d7e1f658bb2d96ab798393e4b16268aaa (backport) + abc77577a669f424c5d0c185b9994f2621c52aa4 (backport) + + The following are upstream commits necessary for the fixes to function: + + 35e481761cdc688dbee0ef552a13f49af8eba6cc (backport) + 0918f1c309b86301605650c836ddd2021d311ae2 (cherry-pick) + + [Testcase] + + You can reproduce the problem pretty quickly with the Linux Test + Project: Steps (with root): - 1. sudo apt-get install git xfsprogs -y - 2. git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp.git - 3. cd ltp - 4. make autotools - 5. ./configure - 6. make; make install - 7. cd /opt/ltp - 8. echo -e "fanotify07 fanotify07 \nfanotify08 fanotify08" > /tmp/jobs - 9. ./runltp -f /tmp/jobs + 1. sudo apt-get install git xfsprogs -y + 2. git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp.git + 3. cd ltp + 4. make autotools + 5. ./configure + 6. make; make install + 7. cd /opt/ltp + 8. echo -e "fanotify07 fanotify07 \nfanotify08 fanotify08" > /tmp/jobs + 9. ./runltp -f /tmp/jobs + + On a stock Xenial kernel, the system will hang, and the testcase will look like: <<<test_start>>> - tag=fanotify07 stime=1528197132 - cmdline="fanotify07" + tag=fanotify07 stime=1554326200 + cmdline="fanotify07 " contacts="" analysis=exit <<<test_output>>> - incrementing stop - tst_test.c:1015: INFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s + tst_test.c:1096: INFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s Test timeouted, sending SIGKILL!
