* [regression 4.2-rc3] loop: xfstests xfs/073 deadlocked in low memory conditions @ 2015-07-21 1:59 Dave Chinner 2015-07-21 4:05 ` Ming Lei 2015-07-21 8:58 ` Michal Hocko 0 siblings, 2 replies; 6+ messages in thread From: Dave Chinner @ 2015-07-21 1:59 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Ming Lei; +Cc: Michal Hocko, linux-mm, linux-kernel, xfs Hi Ming, With the recent merge of the loop device changes, I'm now seeing XFS deadlock on my single CPU, 1GB RAM VM running xfs/073. The deadlocked is as follows: kloopd1: loop_queue_read_work xfs_file_iter_read lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED (on image file) page cache read (GFP_KERNEL) radix tree alloc memory reclaim reclaim XFS inodes log force to unpin inodes <wait for log IO completion> xfs-cil/loop1: <does log force IO work> xlog_cil_push xlog_write <loop issuing log writes> xlog_state_get_iclog_space() <blocks due to all log buffers under write io> <waits for IO completion> kloopd1: loop_queue_write_work xfs_file_write_iter lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL (on image file) <wait for inode to be unlocked> [The full stack traces are below]. i.e. the kloopd, with it's split read and write work queues, has introduced a dependency through memory reclaim. i.e. that writes need to be able to progress for reads make progress. The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS. The didn't used to happen, because the loop device used to issue reads through the splice path and that does: error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index, GFP_KERNEL & mapping_gfp_mask(mapping)); i.e. it pays attention to the allocation context placed on the inode and so is doing GFP_NOFS allocations here and avoiding the recursion problem. [ CC'd Michal Hocko and the mm list because it's a clear exaple of why ignoring the mapping gfp mask on any page cache allocation is a landmine waiting to be tripped over. ] Cheers, Dave.

Assuming the "regular XFS file" is on a normal block device (i.e. not a loop device) then this will not deadlock as there is not dependency on vfs level locking for log writes. i.e. normal userspace IO path is: userspace read vfs_read xfs_read page cache alloc (GFP_KERNEL) direct reclaim xfs_inode reclaim log force CIL push <workqueue> xlog_write submit_bio -> hardware. And then the log IO completes, and everything continues onward. What the loop device used to do: userspace read vfs_read xfs_read page cache alloc (GFP_KERNEL) submit_bio loop device splice_read (on image file) xfs_splice_read page cache alloc (GFP_NOFS) direct reclaim <skip filesystem reclaim> submit_bio -> hardware. And when the read Io completes, everything moves onwards. What the loop device now does: userspace read vfs_read xfs_read page cache alloc (GFP_KERNEL) submit_bio loop device <workqueue> vfs_read (on image file) xfs_read page cache alloc (GFP_KERNEL) direct reclaim xfs_inode reclaim log force CIL push <workqueue> xlog_write submit_bio loop device <workqueue> vfs_write (on image file) xfs_write <deadlock on image file lock> > > The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a > > GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's > > mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS. > > That looks the root cause, and I guess the issue is just triggered > after commit aa4d86163e4(block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC) > which changes splice to bvec iterator. Yup - you are the unfortunate person who has wandered into the minefield I'd been telling people about for quite some time. :( Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I haven't noticed this one when checking for other similar hardcoded GFP_KERNEL users (6afdb859b710 ("mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths")). And there seem to be more of them now that I am looking closer. I am not sure what to do about fs/nfs/dir.c:nfs_symlink which doesn't require GFP_NOFS or mapping gfp mask for other allocations in the same context. What do you think about this preliminary (and untested) patch? I cannot say I would be happy about sprinkling mapping_gfp_mask all over the place and it sounds like we should drop gfp_mask argument altogether and use it internally in __add_to_page_cache_locked that would require all the filesystems to use mapping gfp consistently which I am not sure is the case here. From a quick glance it seems that some file system use it all the time while others are selective. --- >From 72e13282dfb117432332416b60bc4e4d2dad9153 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 10:06:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mm, fs: Obey gfp_mapping for add_to_page_cache 6afdb859b710 ("mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths) has caught some users of hardcoded GFP_KERNEL used in the page cache allocation paths. This, however, wasn't complete and there were others which went unnoticed. Dave Chinner has reported the following deadlock for xfs on loop device: : With the recent merge of the loop device changes, I'm now seeing : XFS deadlock on my single CPU, 1GB RAM VM running xfs/073. : : The deadlocked is as follows: : : kloopd1: loop_queue_read_work : xfs_file_iter_read : lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED (on image file) : page cache read (GFP_KERNEL) : radix tree alloc : memory reclaim : reclaim XFS inodes : log force to unpin inodes : <wait for log IO completion> : : xfs-cil/loop1: <does log force IO work> : xlog_cil_push : xlog_write : <loop issuing log writes> : xlog_state_get_iclog_space() : <blocks due to all log buffers under write io> : <waits for IO completion> : : kloopd1: loop_queue_write_work : xfs_file_write_iter : lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL (on image file) : <wait for inode to be unlocked> : : i.e. the kloopd, with it's split read and write work queues, has : introduced a dependency through memory reclaim. i.e. that writes : need to be able to progress for reads make progress. : : The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a : GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's : mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS. : : The didn't used to happen, because the loop device used to issue : reads through the splice path and that does: : : error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index, : GFP_KERNEL & mapping_gfp_mask(mapping)); This has changed by aa4d86163e4 (block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC). This patch changes mpage_readpage{s} to follow gfp mask set for the mapping. There are, however, other places which are doing basically the same. lustre:ll_dir_filler is doing GFP_KERNEL from the function which apparently uses GFP_NOFS for other allocations so let's make this consistent. cifs:readpages_get_pages is called from cifs_readpages and __cifs_readpages_from_fscache called from the same path obeys mapping gfp. ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping is hardcoding GFP_KERNEL as well regardless it uses mapping_gfp_mask for the page allocation. ext4_mpage_readpages is the called from the page cache allocation path same as read_pages and read_cache_pages Reported-by: Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> --- drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/dir.c | 2 +- fs/cifs/file.c | 5 +++-- fs/ext4/readpage.c | 3 ++- fs/mpage.c | 14 +++++++++----- fs/ramfs/file-nommu.c | 5 +++-- mm/readahead.c | 6 ++++-- 6 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/dir.c b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/dir.c index a5bc694dcb64..0a643b8b6deb 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/dir.c +++ b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/dir.c @@ -225,7 +225,7 @@ static int ll_dir_filler(void *_hash, struct page *page0) prefetchw(&page->flags);

Is the > patch good to go or we want a larger refactoring? No, I haven't had a chance to test it yet. I'll try to get somethign done by the end of the week, but I'm not able to reliably reproduce the hang I saw (i.e. the analysis I did was from the first deadlock and I've only seen it once since) so testing is likely to be inconclusive, anyway....
