During aio stress test, we observed the following lockdep warning. This mean AIO+numa_balancing is currently deadlockable. The problem is, aio_migratepage disable interrupt, but __set_page_dirty_nobuffers unintentionally enable it again. Generally, all helper function should use spin_lock_irqsave() instead of spin_lock_irq() because they don't know caller at all. other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock); lock(&(&ctx->completion_lock)->rlock); *** DEADLOCK *** dump_stack+0x19/0x1b print_usage_bug+0x1f7/0x208 mark_lock+0x21d/0x2a0 mark_held_locks+0xb9/0x140 trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x105/0x1d0 trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x2c/0x50 __set_page_dirty_nobuffers+0x8c/0xf0 migrate_page_copy+0x434/0x540 aio_migratepage+0xb1/0x140 move_to_new_page+0x7d/0x230 migrate_pages+0x5e5/0x700 migrate_misplaced_page+0xbc/0xf0 do_numa_page+0x102/0x190 handle_pte_fault+0x241/0x970 handle_mm_fault+0x265/0x370 __do_page_fault+0x172/0x5a0 do_page_fault+0x1a/0x70 page_fault+0x28/0x30 Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro Cc: Larry Woodman Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Johannes Weiner Acked-by: David Rientjes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Kamal Mostafa --- mm/page-writeback.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2 diff --git a/mm/page-writeback.c b/mm/page-writeback.c index 68fe53b..9fa8f25 100644 --- a/mm/page-writeback.c +++ b/mm/page-writeback.c @@ -2020,11 +2020,12 @@ int __set_page_dirty_nobuffers(struct page *page) if (!TestSetPageDirty(page)) { struct address_space *mapping = page_mapping(page); struct address_space *mapping2; + unsigned long flags; if (!mapping) return 1; - spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock); + spin_lock_irqsave(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); mapping2 = page_mapping(page); if (mapping2) { /* Race with truncate? */ BUG_ON(mapping2 != mapping); @@ -2033,7 +2034,7 @@ int __set_page_dirty_nobuffers(struct page *page) radix_tree_tag_set(&mapping->page_tree, page_index(page), PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY); } - spin_unlock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mapping->tree_lock, flags); if (mapping->host) { /* !PageAnon && !swapper_space */ __mark_inode_dirty(mapping->host, I_DIRTY_PAGES);
