Subject: [PATCH] mm/shmem: report RCU-tasks quiescent states while undoing a
range
This shows up in the Meta fleet on ftruncate() of large tmpfs files:
INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:
00000000752fd185: .. nvcsw: 59455/59455 holdout: 1 idle_cpu: -1/0
task:rocksdb:bottom state:R running task
__folio_split
find_get_entry
find_get_entries
truncate_inode_partial_folio
shmem_undo_range
shmem_setattr
notify_change
do_ftruncate
__x64_sys_ftruncate
do_syscall_64
shmem_undo_range() walks the whole of the requested range in folio_batch
sized steps, twice, and its two cond_resched() calls are the only
reschedule points in that walk.
cond_resched() is not an RCU-tasks quiescent state. Use
cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() at both points so the walk reports an
RCU-tasks quiescent state as it proceeds.
