[PATCH 0/5] Remove possible deadlocks in nfs_release_page() - V3

[NeilBrown]

This set includes acked-by's from Andrew and Peter so it should be
OK for all five patches to go upstream through the NFS tree.

I split the congestion tracking patch out from the wait-for-PG_private
patch as they are conceptually separate.

This set continues to perform well in my tests and addresses all
issues that have been raised.

Thanks a lot,
NeilBrown

[PATCH 2/5] MM: export page_wakeup functions

[NeilBrown]

This will allow NFS to wait for PG_private to be cleared and,
particularly, to send a wake-up when it is.

[PATCH 5/5] NFS/SUNRPC: Remove other deadlock-avoidance mechanisms in nfs_release_page()

[NeilBrown]

Now that nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely, other deadlock
avoidance mechanisms aren't needed.
 - it doesn't hurt for kswapd to block occasionally.  If it doesn't
   want to block it would clear __GFP_WAIT.  The current_is_kswapd()
   was only added to avoid deadlocks and we have a new approach for
   that.
 - memory allocation in the SUNRPC layer can very rarely try to
   ->releasepage() a page it is trying to handle.  The deadlock
   is removed as nfs_release_page() doesn't block indefinitely.

So we don't need to set PF_FSTRANS for sunrpc network operations any
more.

[PATCH 3/5] NFS: avoid deadlocks with loop-back mounted NFS filesystems.

[NeilBrown]

Support for loop-back mounted NFS filesystems is useful when NFS is
used to access shared storage in a high-availability cluster.

If the node running the NFS server fails, some other node can mount the
filesystem and start providing NFS service.  If that node already had
the filesystem NFS mounted, it will now have it loop-back mounted.

nfsd can suffer a deadlock when allocating memory and entering direct
reclaim.
While direct reclaim does not write to the NFS filesystem it can send
and wait for a COMMIT through nfs_release_page().

This patch modifies nfs_release_page() to wait a limited time for the
commit to complete - one second.  If the commit doesn't complete
in this time, nfs_release_page() will fail.  This means it might now
fail in some cases where it wouldn't before.  These cases are only
when 'gfp' includes '__GFP_WAIT'.

nfs_release_page() is only called by try_to_release_page(), and that
can only be called on an NFS page with required 'gfp' flags from
 - page_cache_pipe_buf_steal() in splice.c
 - shrink_page_list() in vmscan.c
 - invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in truncate.c

The first two handle failure quite safely.  The last is only called
after ->launder_page() has been called, and that will have waited
for the commit to finish already.

So aborting if the commit takes longer than 1 second is perfectly safe.

[PATCH 3/5] NFS: avoid deadlocks with loop-back mounted NFS filesystems.

[NeilBrown]

Support for loop-back mounted NFS filesystems is useful when NFS is
used to access shared storage in a high-availability cluster.

If the node running the NFS server fails, some other node can mount the
filesystem and start providing NFS service.  If that node already had
the filesystem NFS mounted, it will now have it loop-back mounted.

nfsd can suffer a deadlock when allocating memory and entering direct
reclaim.
While direct reclaim does not write to the NFS filesystem it can send
and wait for a COMMIT through nfs_release_page().

This patch modifies nfs_release_page() to wait a limited time for the
commit to complete - one second.  If the commit doesn't complete
in this time, nfs_release_page() will fail.  This means it might now
fail in some cases where it wouldn't before.  These cases are only
when 'gfp' includes '__GFP_WAIT'.

nfs_release_page() is only called by try_to_release_page(), and that
can only be called on an NFS page with required 'gfp' flags from
 - page_cache_pipe_buf_steal() in splice.c
 - shrink_page_list() in vmscan.c
 - invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in truncate.c

The first two handle failure quite safely.  The last is only called
after ->launder_page() has been called, and that will have waited
for the commit to finish already.

So aborting if the commit takes longer than 1 second is perfectly safe.

[PATCH 4/5] NFS: avoid waiting at all in nfs_release_page when congested.

[NeilBrown]

If nfs_release_page() is called on a sequence of pages which are all
in the same file which is blocked on COMMIT, each page could
contribute a 1 second delay which could be come excessive.  I have
seen delays of as much as 208 seconds.

To keep the delay to one second, mark the bdi as write-congested
if the commit didn't finished.  Once it does finish, the
write-congested flag will be cleared by nfs_commit_release_pages().

With this, the longest total delay in try_to_free_pages that I have
seen is under 3 seconds.  With no waiting in nfs_release_page at all
I have seen delays of nearly 1.5 seconds.

[PATCH 1/5] SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces.

[NeilBrown]

In commit c1221321b7c25b53204447cff9949a6d5a7ddddc
   sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout

I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need.  This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.

Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization.  If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.

So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:

wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example.  Others can be added as needed.

Fine with me.

 Trond, can you just edit that into the patch you have, or do you want me to
 re-send?
 Also maybe added Jeff's 
    Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@primarydata.com>
 to the NFS bits.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

[PATCH 1/5 - resend] SCHED: add some "wait..on_bit...timeout()" interfaces.

[NeilBrown]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5259 bytes --]


In commit c1221321b7c25b53204447cff9949a6d5a7ddddc
   sched: Allow wait_on_bit_action() functions to support a timeout

I suggested that a "wait_on_bit_timeout()" interface would not meet my
need.  This isn't true - I was just over-engineering.

Including a 'private' field in wait_bit_key instead of a focused
"timeout" field was just premature generalization.  If some other
use is ever found, it can be generalized or added later.

So this patch renames "private" to "timeout" with a meaning "stop
waiting when "jiffies" reaches or passes "timeout",
and adds two of the many possible wait..bit..timeout() interfaces:

wait_on_page_bit_killable_timeout(), which is the one I want to use,
and out_of_line_wait_on_bit_timeout() which is a reasonably general
example.  Others can be added as needed.

Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

This time with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
