Hi, Threw some db traffic into my testing mix, and that ended in tears very quickly: CPU: 7 PID: 49609 Comm: ringbuf-read.t Tainted: G W 6.6.0-rc1-g39956d2dcd81 #129 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x11d/0x1b0 __might_resched+0x3c3/0x5e0 ? preempt_count_sub+0x150/0x150 mempool_alloc+0x1e2/0x390 ? sanity_check_pinned_pages+0x23/0x1010 ? mempool_resize+0x7d0/0x7d0 bio_alloc_bioset+0x417/0x8c0 ? bvec_alloc+0x200/0x200 ? __gup_device_huge+0x900/0x900 bio_alloc_clone+0x53/0x100 dm_submit_bio+0x27f/0x1a20 ? lock_release+0x4b7/0x670 ? pin_user_pages_fast+0xb6/0xf0 ? blk_try_enter_queue+0x1a0/0x4d0 ? dm_dax_direct_access+0x260/0x260 ? rcu_is_watching+0x12/0xb0 ? blk_try_enter_queue+0x1cc/0x4d0 __submit_bio+0x239/0x310 ? __bio_queue_enter+0x700/0x700 ? kvm_clock_get_cycles+0x40/0x60 ? ktime_get+0x285/0x470 submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0x4d9/0xb80 ? should_fail_request+0x80/0x80 ? preempt_count_sub+0x150/0x150 ? folio_flags+0x6c/0x1e0 submit_bio_noacct+0x53e/0x1b30 blkdev_direct_IO.part.0+0x833/0x1810 ? rcu_is_watching+0x12/0xb0 ? lock_release+0x4b7/0x670 ? blkdev_read_iter+0x40d/0x530 ? reacquire_held_locks+0x4e0/0x4e0 ? __blkdev_direct_IO_simple+0x780/0x780 ? rcu_is_watching+0x12/0xb0 ? __mark_inode_dirty+0x297/0xd50 ? preempt_count_add+0x72/0x140 blkdev_read_iter+0x2a4/0x530 ? blkdev_write_iter+0xc40/0xc40 io_read+0x369/0x1490 ? rcu_is_watching+0x12/0xb0 ? io_writev_prep_async+0x260/0x260 ? __fget_files+0x279/0x410 ? rcu_is_watching+0x12/0xb0 io_issue_sqe+0x18a/0xd90 io_submit_sqes+0x970/0x1ed0 __do_sys_io_uring_enter+0x14d4/0x2650 ? io_submit_sqes+0x1ed0/0x1ed0 ? rcu_is_watching+0x12/0xb0 ? __do_sys_io_uring_register+0x3f6/0x2190 ? io_req_caches_free+0x500/0x500 ? ksys_mmap_pgoff+0x85/0x5b0 ? rcu_is_watching+0x12/0xb0 ? trace_irq_enable.constprop.0+0xd0/0x100 do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd which seems to demonstrate a misunderstanding on what REQ_NOWAIT is about. In particulary, it seems to assume you can then submit with atomic context? DM does an rcu_read_lock() and happily proceeds to attempt to submit IO under RCU being disabled. A test case for this is pretty trivial, just do RWF_NOWAIT IO on any dm device: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct iovec iov; void *buf; int fd; fd = open("/dev/dm-0", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); return 1; } if (posix_memalign(&buf, 4096, 4096)) return 1; iov.iov_base = buf; iov.iov_len = 4096; preadv2(fd, &iov, 1, 0, RWF_NOWAIT); return 0; } and watch the splat go by. I didn't check which kernel had this brokeness introduced, a quick check shows it's in 6.5 too at least. Really looks like someone added a fast NOWAIT version, but then didn't actually test it at all... Quick patch below makes it go away, as expected, as we'd resort to using SRCU. diff --git a/drivers/md/dm.c b/drivers/md/dm.c index f0f118ab20fa..64a1f306c96c 100644 --- a/drivers/md/dm.c +++ b/drivers/md/dm.c @@ -715,24 +715,6 @@ static void dm_put_live_table_fast(struct mapped_device *md) __releases(RCU) rcu_read_unlock(); } -static inline struct dm_table *dm_get_live_table_bio(struct mapped_device *md, - int *srcu_idx, blk_opf_t bio_opf) -{ - if (bio_opf & REQ_NOWAIT) - return dm_get_live_table_fast(md); - else - return dm_get_live_table(md, srcu_idx); -} - -static inline void dm_put_live_table_bio(struct mapped_device *md, int srcu_idx, - blk_opf_t bio_opf) -{ - if (bio_opf & REQ_NOWAIT) - dm_put_live_table_fast(md); - else - dm_put_live_table(md, srcu_idx); -} - static char *_dm_claim_ptr = "I belong to device-mapper"; /* @@ -1833,9 +1815,8 @@ static void dm_submit_bio(struct bio *bio) struct mapped_device *md = bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk->private_data; int srcu_idx; struct dm_table *map; - blk_opf_t bio_opf = bio->bi_opf; - map = dm_get_live_table_bio(md, &srcu_idx, bio_opf); + map = dm_get_live_table(md, &srcu_idx); /* If suspended, or map not yet available, queue this IO for later */ if (unlikely(test_bit(DMF_BLOCK_IO_FOR_SUSPEND, &md->flags)) || @@ -1851,7 +1832,7 @@ static void dm_submit_bio(struct bio *bio) dm_split_and_process_bio(md, map, bio); out: - dm_put_live_table_bio(md, srcu_idx, bio_opf); + dm_put_live_table(md, srcu_idx); } static bool dm_poll_dm_io(struct dm_io *io, struct io_comp_batch *iob, -- Jens Axboe -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
