[RFC PATCH] bfq: fix waker_bfqq inconsistency crash

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

 



This fixes crashes in bfq_add_bfqq_busy due to waker_bfqq being NULL,
but woken_list_node still being hashed. This would happen when
bfq_init_rq() expects a brand new allocated queue to be returned from
bfq_get_bfqq_handle_split() and unconditionally updates waker_bfqq
without resetting woken_list_node. Since we can always return oom_bfqq
when attempting to allocate, we cannot assume waker_bfqq starts as NULL.
We must either reset woken_list_node, or avoid setting woken_list at all
for oom_bfqq - opt to do the former.

Crashes would have a stacktrace like:

Tested by injecting random failures into bfq_get_queue, crashes go away
completely.

RFC mainly because it's not clear to me the best policy here - but the
patch is tested and fixes a real crash we started seeing in 5.15

This is following up my ramble over at
