Subject: wait_on_page_bit_common(TASK_KILLABLE, EXCLUSIVE) can miss wakeup?
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 18:11:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200624161142.GA12184@redhat.com> (raw)

Suppose that 2 threads T1 and T2 call __lock_page_killable() and sleep in
wait_on_page_bit_common() -> io_schedule().

T1 is killed, it does test_and_set_bit_lock() but the page is still locked.

unlock_page() calls __wake_up_common(nr_exclusive = 1), this wakes T1 up.
T2 is not woken.

T1 checks signal_pending_state() and returns EINTR.

T2 will sleep until another thread does lock/unlock ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I noticed this by accident, I am hunting for another / unrelated bug. I did
git-blame and iiuc the commit a8b169afbf06a ("Avoid page waitqueue race leaving
possible page locker waiting") tried to fix the problem but see above, I don't
understand how can it help.

Don't we need something like below or I am totally confused?

Oleg.
