Subject: [PATCH] scsi: use GFP_NOFS to avoid circular locking dependency
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2025 16:47:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250128164700.6d8504c1@fangorn> (raw)
Filesystems can write to disk from page reclaim with filesystem
locks held, if __GFP_FS is set. Marc found a case where
scsi_realloc_sdev_budget_map ends up in page reclaim with GFP_KERNEL,
where it could try to take filesystem locks again, leading to a deadlock.
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.13.0 #1 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
kswapd0/70 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff8881025d5d78 (&q->q_usage_counter(io)){++++}-{0:0}, at: blk_mq_submit_bio+0x461/0x6e0
but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff81ef5f40 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: balance_pgdat+0x9f/0x760
The full lockdep splat can be found in Marc's report:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/1/24/1101
Avoid the potential deadlock by doing the allocation with GFP_NOFS.
