Bug ID: 18856
Summary: nfsd.close probe alias fails on rawhide
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: tapsets
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dsmith at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
On rawhide (4.2.0-0.rc6.git1.1.fc24.x86_64), the nfsd.close probe alias no
longer resolves:
====
# stap -p4 -e 'probe nfsd.close {}'
semantic error: while resolving probe point: identifier 'nfsd' at <input>:1:7
source: probe nfsd.close {}
^
semantic error: no match
Pass 2: analysis failed. [man error::pass2]
====
This is because of the following kernel commit:
====
commit fd891454609ec036dc23e34536e45d655b4ca4db

nfsd: remove nfsd_close

Here's a link to the actual patch:
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/fs/nfsd/vfs.c?id=fd891454609ec036dc23e34536e45d655b4ca4db>
As you can see in that patch, the nfsd_close() function was replace with a call
to fput(). We can't just move the nfsd.close probe to probe fput(), since
fput() is called all over the kernel.
So, basically this function we were probing is gone. The only solution I see at
this point is to make the nfsd.close probe point optional.

--- Comment #1 from David Smith <dsmith at redhat dot com> ---
Note that I've looked through fput()'s source, but couldn't find a suitable
callback to probe instead of nfsd_close(). fsnotify_close() might be a
candidate, but it is an inline and its arg isn't available on some kernels. The
other candidate would be file->f_op->release(), but the nfsd subsystem seems to
use generic callbacks there.
