Subject: [PATCH] bcache: set task state correctly in allocator_wait()
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2017 20:33:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171122123349.74347-1-colyli@suse.de> (raw)
Kthread function bch_allocator_thread() references allocator_wait(ca, cond)
and when kthread_should_stop() is true, this kthread exits.
The problem is, if kthread_should_stop() is true, macro allocator_wait()
calls "return 0" with current task state TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. After function
bch_allocator_thread() returns to do_exit(), there are some blocking
operations are called, then a kenrel warning is popped up by __might_sleep
from kernel/sched/core.c,
"WARNING: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [xxxx]"
If the task is interrupted and preempted out, since its status is
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, it means scheduler won't pick it back to run forever,
and the allocator thread may hang in do_exit().
This patch sets allocator kthread state back to TASK_RUNNING before it
returns to do_exit(), which avoids a potential deadlock.
