Currently, same waitqueue might be woken up continuously:

// continue to wake up in first waitqueue
What's worse, io hung is possible in theory because wakeups might be
missed. For example, 2 * wake_batch tags are put, while only
wake_batch
threads are worken:
__sbq_wake_up
atomic_cmpxchg -> reset wait_cnt
__sbq_wake_up -> decrease wait_cnt
...
__sbq_wake_up -> wait_cnt is decreased to 0 again
atomic_cmpxchg
sbq_index_atomic_inc -> increase wake_index
wake_up_nr -> wake up and waitqueue might be empty
sbq_index_atomic_inc -> increase again, one waitqueue is skipped
wake_up_nr -> invalid wake up because old wakequeue might be empty
To fix the problem, refactor to make sure waitqueues will be woken up
one by one,

So as far as I can tell your patch does not completely fix this
race. See

I have an idea how to fix all these lost wakeups, I'll try to code it
whether it would look usable...
Hi, Jan
Thanks for the analysis, it's right this is possible.
Thinking a bit more about it your code would just need a small tweak
like:
wait_cnt = atomic_dec_return(&ws->wait_cnt);
/*
* Concurrent callers should call this function again
* to wakeup a new batch on a different 'ws'.
*/
if (wait_cnt < 0 || !waitqueue_active(&ws->wait)) {
sbq_update_wake_index(sbq, wake_index);
return true;
}
I'm thinking that if the wait_queue is still active, this will decrease
'wait_cnt' in old waitqueue while 'wake_index' is already moved to next
waitqueue. This really broke the design...
I agree this can happen and it is not ideal. On the other hand the wakeup
is not really lost, just effectively delayed until we select this
waitqueue
again so it should not result in any hangs. And other ways to avoid the
race seem more expensive to me...
Hi, Jan
Before you reviewed this version, I aready posted v2... It semms v2 is
using exactly the same logic that you suggested here 😉.
Thanks,

Hi, Jan
Sorry that I missed this.. The key is not just the judgement if
waitqueue is active, we also need to make sure to wakeup before
setting 'wait_cnt' here.
Thanks,
Kuai
