commit db37a34c563b ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree") introduce leak forbfq_group and blkcg_gq objects because of get/put imbalance. See trace balow: -> blkg_alloc -> bfq_pq_alloc -> bfqg_get (+1) ->bfq_activate_bfqq ->bfq_activate_requeue_entity -> __bfq_activate_entity ->bfq_get_entity ->bfqg_and_blkg_get (+1) <==== : Note1 ->bfq_del_bfqq_busy ->bfq_deactivate_entity+0x53/0xc0 [bfq] ->__bfq_deactivate_entity+0x1b8/0x210 [bfq] -> bfq_forget_entity(is_in_service = true) entity->on_st_or_in_serv = false <=== :Note2 if (is_in_service) return; ==> do not touch reference -> blkcg_css_offline -> blkcg_destroy_blkgs -> blkg_destroy -> bfq_pd_offline -> __bfq_deactivate_entity if (!entity->on_st_or_in_serv) /* true, because (Note2) return false; -> bfq_pd_free -> bfqg_put() (-1, byt bfqg->ref == 2) because of (Note2) So bfq_group and blkcg_gq will leak forever, see test-case below. If fact bfq_group objects reference counting are quite different from bfq_queue. bfq_groups object are referenced by blkcg_gq via blkg_policy_data pointer, so neither nor blkg_get() neither bfqg_get required here. This patch drop commit db37a34c563b ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree") and add corresponding comment. ##TESTCASE_BEGIN: #!/bin/bash max_iters=${1:-100} #prep cgroup mounts mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio # Prepare blkdev grep blkio /proc/cgroups truncate -s 1M img losetup /dev/loop0 img echo bfq > /sys/block/loop0/queue/scheduler grep blkio /proc/cgroups for ((i=0;i<max_iters;i++)) do mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a/cgroup.procs dd if=/dev/loop0 bs=4k count=1 of=/dev/null iflag=direct 2> /dev/null echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/cgroup.procs rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a grep blkio /proc/cgroups done ##TESTCASE_END: Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@xxxxxxxxx> --- block/bfq-cgroup.c | 2 +- block/bfq-iosched.h | 1 - block/bfq-wf2q.c | 15 +++++---------- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/block/bfq-cgroup.c b/block/bfq-cgroup.c index 68882b9..b791e20 100644 --- a/block/bfq-cgroup.c +++ b/block/bfq-cgroup.c @@ -332,7 +332,7 @@ static void bfqg_put(struct bfq_group *bfqg) kfree(bfqg); } -void bfqg_and_blkg_get(struct bfq_group *bfqg) +static void bfqg_and_blkg_get(struct bfq_group *bfqg) { /* see comments in bfq_bic_update_cgroup for why refcounting bfqg */ bfqg_get(bfqg); diff --git a/block/bfq-iosched.h b/block/bfq-iosched.h index cd224aa..7038952 100644 --- a/block/bfq-iosched.h +++ b/block/bfq-iosched.h @@ -986,7 +986,6 @@ struct bfq_group *bfq_find_set_group(struct bfq_data *bfqd, struct blkcg_gq *bfqg_to_blkg(struct bfq_group *bfqg); struct bfq_group *bfqq_group(struct bfq_queue *bfqq); struct bfq_group *bfq_create_group_hierarchy(struct bfq_data *bfqd, int node); -void bfqg_and_blkg_get(struct bfq_group *bfqg); void bfqg_and_blkg_put(struct bfq_group *bfqg); #ifdef CONFIG_BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED diff --git a/block/bfq-wf2q.c b/block/bfq-wf2q.c index 34ad095..6a363bb 100644 --- a/block/bfq-wf2q.c +++ b/block/bfq-wf2q.c @@ -529,13 +529,14 @@ static void bfq_get_entity(struct bfq_entity *entity) { struct bfq_queue *bfqq = bfq_entity_to_bfqq(entity); + /* Grab reference only for bfq_queue's objects, bfq_group ones + * are owned by blkcg_gq + */ if (bfqq) { bfqq->ref++; bfq_log_bfqq(bfqq->bfqd, bfqq, "get_entity: %p %d", bfqq, bfqq->ref); - } else - bfqg_and_blkg_get(container_of(entity, struct bfq_group, - entity)); + } } /** @@ -649,14 +650,8 @@ static void bfq_forget_entity(struct bfq_service_tree *st, entity->on_st_or_in_serv = false; st->wsum -= entity->weight; - if (is_in_service) - return; - - if (bfqq) + if (bfqq && !is_in_service) bfq_put_queue(bfqq); - else - bfqg_and_blkg_put(container_of(entity, struct bfq_group, - entity)); } /** -- 2.7.4
