Subject: [PATCH] mm/shmem: report RCU-tasks quiescent states while undoing a
range
This shows up in the Meta fleet on ftruncate() of large tmpfs files:
INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:
00000000752fd185: .. nvcsw: 59455/59455 holdout: 1 idle_cpu: -1/0

shmem_undo_range

do_syscall_64
shmem_undo_range() walks the whole of the requested range in folio_batch
sized steps, twice, and its two cond_resched() calls are the only
reschedule points in that walk.
cond_resched() is not an RCU-tasks quiescent state. Use
cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() at both points so the walk reports an
RCU-tasks quiescent state as it proceeds.

[ Upstream commit 3392ca121872dd8c33015c7703d4981c78819be3 ]
Patch series "Rework find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries()", v3.
Originally the callers of find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() were
keeping track of the start index themselves as they traverse the search
range.
This resulted in hacky code such as in shmem_undo_range():
index = folio->index + folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1;
where the - 1 is only present to stay in the right spot after incrementing
index later. This sort of calculation was also being done on every folio
despite not even using index later within that function.
These patches change find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() to
calculate the new index instead of leaving it to the callers so we can
avoid all these complications.
This patch (of 2):
Initially, find_lock_entries() was being passed in the start offset as a
value. That left the calculation of the offset to the callers. This led
to complexity in the callers trying to keep track of the index.
Now find_lock_entries() takes in a pointer to the start offset and updates
the value to be directly after the last entry found. If no entry is
found, the offset is not changed. This gets rid of multiple hacky
calculations that kept track of the start offset.
