This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled aio: protect reqs_available updates from changes in interrupt handlers to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.6. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From c4835bc20ca905e399f9c2f90b492712ed2e0cd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@kvack.org> Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:49:26 -0400 Subject: aio: protect reqs_available updates from changes in interrupt handlers commit 263782c1c95bbddbb022dc092fd89a36bb8d5577 upstream. As of commit f8567a3845ac05bb28f3c1b478ef752762bd39ef it is now possible to have put_reqs_available() called from irq context. While put_reqs_available() is per cpu, it did not protect itself from interrupts on the same CPU. This lead to aio_complete() corrupting the available io requests count when run under a heavy O_DIRECT workloads as reported by Robert Elliott. Fix this by disabling irq updates around the per cpu batch updates of reqs_available. Many thanks to Robert and folks for testing and tracking this down.
