From 5b398edbee672392f2cea260ab17445ecca927d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Tridgell Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 20:59:43 -0800 Subject: s3-brlock: add a minimim retry time for pending blocking locks When we are waiting on a pending byte range lock, another smbd might exit uncleanly, and therefore not notify us of the removal of the lock, and thus not trigger the lock to be retried. We coped with this up to now by adding a message_send_all() in the SIGCHLD and cluster reconfigure handlers to send a MSG_SMB_UNLOCK to all smbd processes. That would generate O(N^2) work when a large number of clients disconnected at once (such as on a network outage), which could leave the whole system unusable for a very long time (many minutes, or even longer). By adding a minimum re-check time for pending byte range locks we avoid this problem by ensuring that pending locks are retried at a more regular interval. --- source3/smbd/blocking.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) (limited to 'source3') diff --git a/source3/smbd/blocking.c b/source3/smbd/blocking.c index deb7f8f221..6c7c167ab5 100644 --- a/source3/smbd/blocking.c +++ b/source3/smbd/blocking.c @@ -72,6 +72,7 @@ static bool recalc_brl_timeout(void) { struct blocking_lock_record *blr; struct timeval next_timeout; + int max_brl_timeout = lp_parm_int(-1, "brl", "recalctime", 5); TALLOC_FREE(brl_timeout); @@ -100,6 +101,25 @@ static bool recalc_brl_timeout(void) return True; } + /* + to account for unclean shutdowns by clients we need a + maximum timeout that we use for checking pending locks.
