Subject: [PATCH 4.19 26/46] xfs: clear PF_MEMALLOC before exiting xfsaild thread
Date: Fri,  1 May 2020 15:22:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200501131507.913994050@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200501131457.023036302@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

commit 10a98cb16d80be3595fdb165fad898bb28b8b6d2 upstream.

Leaving PF_MEMALLOC set when exiting a kthread causes it to remain set
during do_exit().  That can confuse things.  In particular, if BSD
process accounting is enabled, then do_exit() writes data to an
accounting file.  If that file has FS_SYNC_FL set, then this write
occurs synchronously and can misbehave if PF_MEMALLOC is set.

For example, if the accounting file is located on an XFS filesystem,
then a WARN_ON_ONCE() in iomap_do_writepage() is triggered and the data
doesn't get written when it should.  Or if the accounting file is
located on an ext4 filesystem without a journal, then a WARN_ON_ONCE()
in ext4_write_inode() is triggered and the inode doesn't get written.

Fix this in xfsaild() by using the helper functions to save and restore
PF_MEMALLOC.

This can be reproduced as follows in the kvm-xfstests test appliance
modified to add the 'acct' Debian package, and with kvm-xfstests's
recommended kconfig modified to add CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y:

        mkfs.xfs -f /dev/vdb
        mount /vdb
        touch /vdb/file
        chattr +S /vdb/file
        accton /vdb/file
        mkfs.xfs -f /dev/vdc
        mount /vdc
        umount /vdc

It causes:
