Subject: [PATCH] lock_page() doesn't lock if __wait_on_bit_lock returns -EINTR
Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 11:23:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151212162342.GF11257@ret.masoncoding.com> (raw)

We have two reports of frequent crashes in btrfs where asserts in
clear_page_dirty_for_io() were triggering on missing page locks.

The crashes were much easier to trigger when processes were catching
ctrl-c's, and after much debugging it really looked like lock_page was a
noop.

This recent commit looks pretty suspect to me, and I confirmed that we
were exiting __wait_on_bit_lock() with -EINTR when it was called with
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE

    sched/wait: Fix signal handling in bit wait helpers

The patch below is mostly untested, and probably not the right solution.
Dave's trinity run doesn't explode immediately anymore, and I wanted to
get this out for discussion.  A quick look on the list doesn't show
anyone else has tracked this down, sorry if it's a dup.
