RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Benjamin Coddington 2021-07-26 18:10:37 UTC
A F_GETLK sent to lockd that returns a conflicting lock can cause a crash because the fl_owner is not guaranteed to be struct nlm_lockowner.  We need provisionally pending patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/f94e02c019495fea4495fbef7498f342d5848dac.1627217317.git.bcodding@redhat.com/T/#u

Here's a simple demonstration for a system that has exported /exports and mounted that export on a NFSv3 mount on /mnt/localhost:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

#define LOCALFILE    "/exports/foo"
#define NFSFILE    "/mnt/localhost/foo"

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int local_fd, nfs_fd, ret;

	struct flock lck_one = {
		.l_whence = SEEK_SET,
		.l_start  = 0,
		.l_len    = 4,
	};

	struct flock lck_two = {
		.l_whence = SEEK_SET,
		.l_start  = 0,
		.l_len    = 4,
	};

	local_fd = open(LOCALFILE, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666);
	nfs_fd = open(NFSFILE, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666);

	lck_one.l_type = F_WRLCK;
	ret = fcntl(local_fd, F_SETLKW, &lck_one);
	ret = fcntl(nfs_fd, F_GETLK, &lck_two);
}

Moving to VERIFIED according to Comment#26.

Comment 31 Dave Wysochanski 2021-09-14 14:43:21 UTC
This is a regression from 8.2.0 kernels (4.18.0-193*el8), with a simple fix, per Roberto's analysis of the commit in question:
~~~
Since 8.3 we got this commit :
...
    [fs] lockd: Show pid of lockd for remote locks
...
-       conflock->svid = lock->fl.fl_pid;
+       conflock->svid = ((struct nlm_lockowner *)lock->fl.fl_owner)->pid;  <<<---
~~~
