[Bug 1802585] Re: NFS v4.0: Stale data after file is renamed while another process has an open file handle

 

My reproducer for Disco+ is a different bug.  I get input/output errors
very quickly once specifying nfs vers=4.0.  If you don't specify it, it
works fine.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Disco)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

  I'm repeating the report I sent to the NFS maintainers on the mailing
  list:

  On Ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0-130) with NFS v4.0, I'm seeing an issue where
  stale data is shown if a file remains open on one machine, and the
  file is overwritten via a rename() on another. Here's my test:

  1. On node A, create two different files on a shared NFS mount:
  "test1.txt" and "test2.txt".
  2. On node B, continuously show the contents of the first file: "while
  true; do cat test1.txt; done"
  3. On node B, run a process that keeps "test1.txt" open. For example,
  with Python, run:
       f = open('/nfs-mount/test1.txt', 'r')
  4. Rename test2.txt via "mv -f test2.txt test1.txt"

  On node B, I see the contents of the original test1.txt indefinitely,
  even after I disabled attribute caching and the lookup cache. I can
  make the while loop in step 2 show the new content if I perform one of
  these actions:

  1. Run "ls /nfs-mount"
  2. Close the open file in step 3
