Subject: [PATCH RESEND 2/2] f2fs: disable preemption when waiting on all pages writeback
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 21:41:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5720C19C.3000503@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com>

The following condition can happen in a preemptible kernel, it may cause
checkpointer hunging.

CPU0:					CPU1:
 - write_checkpoint
  - do_checkpoint
   - wait_on_all_pages_writeback
					 - f2fs_write_end_io
					  - wake_up
					this is last writebacked page, but
					no sleeper in sbi->cp_wait wait
					queue, wake_up is not been called.
    - prepare_to_wait(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)
    Here, current task can been preempted,
    but there will be no waker since last
    write_end_io has bypassed wake_up. So
    current task will sleep forever.
    - io_schedule_timeout

Now we use spinlock to create a critical section to guarantee preemption
was disabled during racing in between wait_on_all_pages_writeback and
f2fs_write_end_io, so that above condition can be avoided.
