When a metadate I/O error happens on cache device, bcache error handling routine bch_cache_set_error() will call bch_cache_set_unregister() to retire whole cache set. On the unregister code path, this delayed work is stopped by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(&dc->writeback_rate_update). dc->writeback_rate_update is a special delayed work from others in bcache. In its routine update_writeback_rate(), this delayed work is re-armed itself. That means when cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, this delayed work can still be executed after several seconds defined by dc->writeback_rate_update_seconds. The problem is, after cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns, the cache set unregister code path will continue and release memory of struct cache set. Then the delayed work is scheduled to run, __update_writeback_rate() will reference the already released cache_set memory, and trigger a NULL pointer deference fault. This patch introduces two more bcache device flags, - BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING bit set: bcache device is in writeback mode and running, it is OK for dc->writeback_rate_update to re-arm itself. bit clear:bcache device is trying to stop dc->writeback_rate_update, this delayed work should not re-arm itself and quit. - BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING bit set: routine update_writeback_rate() is executing. bit clear: routine update_writeback_rate() quits. This patch also adds a function cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() to wait for dc->writeback_rate_update quits before cancel it by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(). In order to avoid a deadlock by unexpected quit dc->writeback_rate_update, after time_out seconds this function will give up and continue to call cancel_delayed_work_sync(). And here I explain how this patch stops self re-armed delayed work properly with the above stuffs. update_writeback_rate() sets BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its beginning and clears BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING at its end. Before calling cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork() clear flag BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING. Before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() wait utill flag BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is clear. So when calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(), dc->writeback_rate_update must be already re- armed, or quite by seeing BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING cleared. In both cases delayed work routine update_writeback_rate() won't be executed after cancel_delayed_work_sync() returns. Inside update_writeback_rate() before calling schedule_delayed_work(), flag BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is checked before. If this flag is cleared, it means someone is about to stop the delayed work. Because flag BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING is set already and cancel_delayed_work_sync() has to wait for this flag to be cleared, we don't need to worry about race condition here. If update_writeback_rate() is scheduled to run after checking BCACHE_DEV_RATE_DW_RUNNING and before calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() in cancel_writeback_rate_update_dwork(), it is also safe. Because at this moment BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is cleared with memory barrier. As I mentioned previously, update_writeback_rate() will see BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING is clear and quit immediately. Because there are more dependences inside update_writeback_rate() to struct cache_set memory, dc->writeback_rate_update is not a simple self re-arm delayed work. After trying many different methods (e.g. hold dc->count, or use locks), this is the only way I can find which works to properly stop dc->writeback_rate_update delayed work.
