From c33f0785bf292cf1d15f4fbe42869c63e205b21c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Ren Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2016 15:11:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix deadlock on mmapped page in ocfs2_write_begin_nolock() The testcase "mmaptruncate" of ocfs2-test deadlocks occasionally. In this testcase, we create a 2*CLUSTER_SIZE file and mmap() on it; there are 2 process repeatedly performing the following operations respectively: one is doing memset(mmaped_addr + 2*CLUSTER_SIZE - 1, 'a', 1), while the another is playing ftruncate(fd, 2*CLUSTER_SIZE) and then ftruncate(fd, CLUSTER_SIZE) again and again. This is the backtrace when the deadlock happens: __wait_on_bit_lock+0x50/0xa0 __lock_page+0xb7/0xc0 ocfs2_write_begin_nolock+0x163f/0x1790 [ocfs2] ocfs2_page_mkwrite+0x1c7/0x2a0 [ocfs2] do_page_mkwrite+0x66/0xc0 handle_mm_fault+0x685/0x1350 __do_page_fault+0x1d8/0x4d0 trace_do_page_fault+0x37/0xf0 do_async_page_fault+0x19/0x70 async_page_fault+0x28/0x30 In ocfs2_write_begin_nolock(), we first grab the pages and then allocate disk space for this write; ocfs2_try_to_free_truncate_log() will be called if -ENOSPC is returned; if we're lucky to get enough clusters, which is usually the case, we start over again. But in ocfs2_free_write_ctxt() the target page isn't unlocked, so we will deadlock when trying to grab the target page again. Also, -ENOMEM might be returned in ocfs2_grab_pages_for_write(). Another deadlock will happen in __do_page_mkwrite() if ocfs2_page_mkwrite() returns non-VM_FAULT_LOCKED, and along with a locked target page. These two errors fail on the same path, so fix them by unlocking the target page manually before ocfs2_free_write_ctxt(). Jan Kara helps me clear out the JBD2 part, and suggest the hint for root cause. Changes since v1: 1. Also put ENOMEM error case into consideration.
