Sometimes generic/011 causes kafs to follow up an FS.RemoveDir RPC call by
spending around a second sending a slew of FS.FetchStatus RPC calls to the
directory just deleted that then abort with VNOVNODE, indicating deletion
of the target directory.
This seems to stem from userspace attempting to stat the directory or
something in it:
afs_select_fileserver+0x46d/0xaa2
afs_wait_for_operation+0x12/0x17e
afs_fetch_status+0x56/0x75
afs_validate+0xfb/0x240
afs_permission+0xef/0x1b0
inode_permission+0x90/0x139
link_path_walk.part.0.constprop.0+0x6f/0x2f0
path_lookupat+0x4c/0xfa
filename_lookup+0x63/0xd7
vfs_statx+0x62/0x13f
vfs_fstatat+0x72/0x8a
The issue appears to be that afs_dir_remove_subdir() marks the callback
promise as being cancelled by setting the expiry time to AFS_NO_CB_PROMISE
- which then confuses afs_validate() which sends the FetchStatus to try and
get a new one before it checks for the AFS_VNODE_DELETED flag which
indicates that we know the directory got deleted.
Fix this by:
(1) Make afs_check_validity() return true if AFS_VNODE_DELETED is set, and
then tweak the return from afs_validate() if the DELETED flag is set.
(2) Move the AFS_VNODE_DELETED check in afs_validate() up above the
expiration check to immediately after we've grabbed the validate_lock.
