Olga Kornievskaia e66a37c80e NFSv4 fix CLOSE not waiting for direct IO compeletion
commit d03727b248 upstream.

Figuring out the root case for the REMOVE/CLOSE race and
suggesting the solution was done by Neil Brown.

Currently what happens is that direct IO calls hold a reference
on the open context which is decremented as an asynchronous task
in the nfs_direct_complete(). Before reference is decremented,
control is returned to the application which is free to close the
file. When close is being processed, it decrements its reference
on the open_context but since directIO still holds one, it doesn't
sent a close on the wire. It returns control to the application
which is free to do other operations. For instance, it can delete a
file. Direct IO is finally releasing its reference and triggering
an asynchronous close. Which races with the REMOVE. On the server,
REMOVE can be processed before the CLOSE, failing the REMOVE with
EACCES as the file is still opened.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
