[ Upstream commit 5ea9a7c5fe4149f165f0e3b624fe08df02b6c301 ]
A recent change to check_for_locks() changed it to take ->flc_lock while holding ->fi_lock. This creates a lock inversion (reported by lockdep) because there is a case where ->fi_lock is taken while holding ->flc_lock.
->flc_lock is held across ->fl_lmops callbacks, and nfsd_break_deleg_cb() is one of those and does take ->fi_lock. However it doesn't need to.
Prior to v4.17-rc1~110^2~22 ("nfsd: create a separate lease for each delegation") nfsd_break_deleg_cb() would walk the ->fi_delegations list and so needed the lock. Since then it doesn't walk the list and doesn't need the lock.
Two actions are performed under the lock. One is to call nfsd_break_one_deleg which calls nfsd4_run_cb(). These doesn't act on the nfs4_file at all, so don't need the lock.
The other is to set ->fi_had_conflict which is in the nfs4_file. This field is only ever set here (except when initialised to false) so there is no possible problem will multiple threads racing when setting it.
The field is tested twice in nfs4_set_delegation(). The first test does not hold a lock and is documented as an opportunistic optimisation, so it doesn't impose any need to hold ->fi_lock while setting ->fi_had_conflict.
The second test in nfs4_set_delegation() *is* make under ->fi_lock, so removing the locking when ->fi_had_conflict is set could make a change. The change could only be interesting if ->fi_had_conflict tested as false even though nfsd_break_one_deleg() ran before ->fi_lock was unlocked. i.e. while hash_delegation_locked() was running. As hash_delegation_lock() doesn't interact in any way with nfs4_run_cb() there can be no importance to this interaction.
So this patch removes the locking from nfsd_break_one_deleg() and moves the final test on ->fi_had_conflict out of the locked region to make it clear that locking isn't important to the test. It is still tested *after* vfs_setlease() has succeeded. This might be significant and as vfs_setlease() takes ->flc_lock, and nfsd_break_one_deleg() is called under ->flc_lock this "after" is a true ordering provided by a spinlock.
