Configuration for sbq:
     depth=64, wake_batch=6, shift=6, map_nr=1

1. There are 64 requests in progress:
     map->word = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
2. After all the 64 requests complete, and no more requests come:
     map->word = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, map->cleared = 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
3. Now two tasks try to allocate requests:
     T1:                                       T2:
     __blk_mq_get_tag                          .
     __sbitmap_queue_get                       .
     sbitmap_get                               .
     sbitmap_find_bit                          .
     sbitmap_find_bit_in_word                  .
     __sbitmap_get_word  -> nr=-1              __blk_mq_get_tag
     sbitmap_deferred_clear                    __sbitmap_queue_get
     /* map->cleared=0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF */     sbitmap_find_bit
       if (!READ_ONCE(map->cleared))           sbitmap_find_bit_in_word
         return false;                         __sbitmap_get_word -> nr=-1
       mask = xchg(&map->cleared, 0)           sbitmap_deferred_clear
       atomic_long_andnot()                    /* map->cleared=0 */
                                                 if (!(map->cleared))
                                                   return false;
                                        /*
                                         * map->cleared is cleared by T1
                                         * T2 fail to acquire the tag
                                         */

4. T2 is the sole tag waiter. When T1 puts the tag, T2 cannot be woken
up due to the wake_batch being set at 6. If no more requests come, T1
will wait here indefinitely.

To fix this issue, simply revert commit 661d4f55a794 ("sbitmap:
remove swap_lock"), which causes this issue.

I'd suggest to add the following words in commit log:

Check on ->cleared and update on both ->cleared and ->word need to be
done atomically, and using spinlock could be the simplest solution.

Otherwise, the patch looks fine for me.

Maybe I'm noob, but I'm confused how can this fix the problem, looks
like the race condition doesn't change.

In sbitmap_find_bit_in_word:

1) __sbitmap_get_word read word;
2) sbitmap_deferred_clear clear cleared;
3) sbitmap_deferred_clear update word;

2) and 3) are done atomically while 1) can still concurrent with 3):

After 1) fails, sbitmap_deferred_clear() is called with spinlock,
then it is pretty easy to solve the race, such as, the following patch
against the revert patch.


diff --git a/lib/sbitmap.c b/lib/sbitmap.c
index dee02a0266a6..c015ecd8e10e 100644
--- a/lib/sbitmap.c
+++ b/lib/sbitmap.c
@@ -63,13 +63,15 @@ static inline void update_alloc_hint_after_get(struct sbitmap *sb,
   static inline bool sbitmap_deferred_clear(struct sbitmap_word *map)
   {
   	unsigned long mask;
-	bool ret = false;
   	unsigned long flags;
+	bool ret;
   	spin_lock_irqsave(&map->swap_lock, flags);
-	if (!map->cleared)
+	if (!map->cleared) {
+		ret = !!map->word;

After atomic_long_andnot(mask, (atomic_long_t *)&map->word), map->word
may be 0 if all requests have completed, or not 0 if some requests are
still in flight.

setting ->word is lockless, but zeroing ->word is serialized with ->swap_lock.

Therefore, using !!map->word to determine the
availability of free tags is inaccurate.

The check should be changed to decide if any free bit is available in
map->word instead of !!map->word, and 'shift' need to be passed in
sbitmap_deferred_clear().

Just be curious, do you have reproducer for this issue?

It's hard to reproduce, but it's reproducible. We've encountered this
issue several times.

Thanks
