Subject: [PATCH] fuse: avoid deadlock when write fuse inode
Date: Tue,  2 Feb 2021 12:08:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210202040830.26043-1-huangjianan@oppo.com> (raw)

We found the following deadlock situations in low memory scenarios:
Thread A                         Thread B
- __writeback_single_inode
 - fuse_write_inode
  - fuse_simple_request
   - __fuse_request_send
    - request_wait_answer
                                 - fuse_dev_splice_read
                                  - fuse_copy_fill
                                   - __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim
                                    - do_shrink_slab
                                     - super_cache_scan
                                      - shrink_dentry_list
                                       - dentry_unlink_inode
                                        - iput_final
                                         - inode_wait_for_writeback

The request and inode processed by Thread A and B are the same, which
causes a deadlock. To avoid this, we remove the __GFP_FS flag when
allocating memory in fuse_copy_fill, so there will be no memory
reclaimation in super_cache_scan.
