[PATCH] dma-buf: Move sysfs work out of DMA-BUF export/release path

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Recently, we noticed an issue where a process went into direct reclaim
while holding the kernfs rw semaphore for sysfs in write(exclusive)
mode. This caused processes who were doing DMA-BUF exports and releases
to go into uninterruptible sleep since they needed to acquire the same
semaphore for the DMA-BUF sysfs entry creation/deletion. In order to avoid
blocking DMA-BUF export/release for an indeterminate amount of time
while another process is holding the sysfs rw semaphore in exclusive
mode, this patch moves the per-buffer sysfs file creation/deleteion to
a kthread.

Fixes: bdb8d06dfefd ("dmabuf: Add the capability to expose DMA-BUF stats in sysfs")
