From 77da4ba9b7fa7c7502decb6c72dc67d1701063be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2021 09:24:07 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 5/6] io-wq: fix race between adding work and activating a free worker commit 94ffb0a282872c2f4b14f757fa1aef2302aeaabb upstream. The attempt to find and activate a free worker for new work is currently combined with creating a new one if we don't find one, but that opens io-wq up to a race where the worker that is found and activated can put itself to sleep without knowing that it has been selected to perform this new work. Fix this by moving the activation into where we add the new work item, then we can retain it within the wqe->lock scope and elimiate the race with the worker itself checking inside the lock, but sleeping outside of it.
