Subject: [PATCH 1/4] netfs: Fix collection of results during pause when collection offloaded
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2025 16:41:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250314164201.1993231-2-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250314164201.1993231-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

A netfs read request can run in one of two modes: for synchronous reads
writes, the app thread does the collection of results and for asynchronous
reads, this is offloaded to a worker thread.  This is controlled by the
NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION flag.

Now, if a subrequest incurs an error, the NETFS_RREQ_PAUSE flag is set to
stop the issuing loop temporarily from issuing more subrequests until a
retry is successful or the request is abandoned.

When the issuing loop sees NETFS_RREQ_PAUSE, it jumps to
netfs_wait_for_pause() which will wait for the PAUSE flag to be cleared -
and whilst it is waiting, it will call out to the collector as more results
acrue...  But this is the wrong thing to do if OFFLOAD_COLLECTION is set as
we can then end up with both the app thread and the work item collecting
results simultaneously.

This manifests itself occasionally when running the generic/323 xfstest
against multichannel cifs as an oops that's a bit random but frequently
involving io_submit() (the test does lots of simultaneous async DIO reads).

Fix this by only doing the collection in netfs_wait_for_pause() if the
NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION is not set.

Fixes: e2d46f2ec332 ("netfs: Change the read result collector to only use one work item")
