From: Mike Galbraith <umgwanakikbuti@xxxxxxxxx> The bit spinlock disables preemption. The spinlock_t lock becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and it can not be acquired in this context. In this locked section, zs_free() acquires a zs_pool::lock, and there is access to zram::wb_limit_lock. Use a spinlock_t on PREEMPT_RT for locking and set/ clear ZRAM_LOCK bit after the lock has been acquired/ dropped.

The other alternative is to let the driver depend on !PREEMPT_RT. I can't tell likely it is that this driver is used. Mike most likely stumbled upon it while running LTP. drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.h | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 39 insertions(+) --- a/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c +++ b/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c @@ -57,6 +57,40 @@ static void zram_free_page(struct zram * static int zram_bvec_read(struct zram *zram, struct bio_vec *bvec, u32 index, int offset, struct bio *bio); +#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT +static void zram_meta_init_table_locks(struct zram *zram, size_t num_pages) +{ + size_t index; + + for (index = 0; index < num_pages; index++) + spin_lock_init(&zram->table[index].lock); +} + +static int zram_slot_trylock(struct zram *zram, u32 index) +{ + int ret; + + ret = spin_trylock(&zram->table[index].lock); + if (ret) + __set_bit(ZRAM_LOCK, &zram->table[index].flags); + return ret; +} + +static void zram_slot_lock(struct zram *zram, u32 index) +{ + spin_lock(&zram->table[index].lock); + __set_bit(ZRAM_LOCK, &zram->table[index].flags); +} + +static void zram_slot_unlock(struct zram *zram, u32 index) +{ + __clear_bit(ZRAM_LOCK, &zram->table[index].flags); + spin_unlock(&zram->table[index].lock); +} + +#else + +static void zram_meta_init_table_locks(struct zram *zram, size_t num_pages) { } static int zram_slot_trylock(struct zram *zram, u32 index) { @@ -72,6 +106,7 @@ static void zram_slot_unlock(struct zram { bit_spin_unlock(ZRAM_LOCK, &zram->table[index].flags); } +#endif static inline bool init_done(struct zram *zram) { @@ -1311,6 +1346,7 @@ static bool zram_meta_alloc(struct zram if (!huge_class_size) huge_class_size = zs_huge_class_size(zram->mem_pool); + zram_meta_init_table_locks(zram, num_pages); return true; } --- a/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.h +++ b/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.h @@ -69,6 +69,9 @@ struct zram_table_entry { unsigned long element; }; unsigned long flags; +#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT + spinlock_t lock; +#endif #ifdef CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING ktime_t ac_time; #endif
