Subject: [PATCH v2] f2fs: quiesce background threads during system suspend using PM notifier
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 10:01:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806170108.2100312-1-daeho43@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@google.com>

During system suspend, a race condition can cause f2fs_gc and f2fs_discard
threads to call submit_bio() while the underlying block device (e.g., UFS)
is in Runtime PM suspend. Because Runtime PM worker threads are already
frozen during task freezing, the threads become trapped in
__bio_queue_enter() waiting on mq_freeze_wq, leading to a PM freezer
timeout.

To prevent this deadlock, register a PM notifier to set SBI_IS_SUSPENDING
during PM_SUSPEND_PREPARE. Background GC and discard threads check this
flag and immediately stop issuing new bios, allowing them to enter a
freezable sleep state cleanly before process freezing begins.

In addition, check freezing() as a fast path to stop issuing new I/O
when non-PM freezing (e.g. dm-snapshot or cgroup freezer) is requested.

v2: check freezing() together for non-PM freezing.
