[PATCH v2 2/8] lightnvm: pblk: Fix put line back behaviour

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

 



In current implementation of pblk_put_line_back behaviour
there are two cases which are not handled.

First one is the race condition with __pblk_map_invalidate in
which function we check for line state, which might be closed,
but still not added to any list and thus explode in list_move_tail.
This is due to lack of locking both gc_lock and line lock
in pblk_put_line_back current implementation.

The second issue is that when we are in that function, line
is not on any list and pblk_line_gc_list might hit the same
gc group and thus not return any move_list. Then our line
will stuck forever unassigned to any list. Simply resetting
gc_list to none will fix that.
