Commit 5c521830cf (ext4: Support discard requests when running in no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks (in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode. Unfortunately, this no longer works, because in commit dd3932eddf (block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context. For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this: BUG: scheduling while atomic: rc.sysinit/1376/0x00000002 Pid: 1376, comm: rc.sysinit Not tainted 2.6.36-ARCH #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810397ce>] __schedule_bug+0x5e/0x70 [<ffffffff81403110>] schedule+0x950/0xa70 [<ffffffff81060bad>] ? insert_work+0x7d/0x90 [<ffffffff81060fbd>] ? queue_work_on+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81061127>] ? queue_work+0x37/0x60 [<ffffffff8140377d>] schedule_timeout+0x21d/0x360 [<ffffffff812031c3>] ? generic_make_request+0x2c3/0x540 [<ffffffff81402680>] wait_for_common+0xc0/0x150 [<ffffffff81041490>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x10 [<ffffffff812034bc>] ? submit_bio+0x7c/0x100 [<ffffffff810680a0>] ? wake_bit_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff814027b8>] wait_for_completion+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8120a969>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x1b9/0x210 [<ffffffff811ba03e>] ext4_free_blocks+0x68e/0xb60 [<ffffffff811b1650>] ? __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata+0x110/0x120 [<ffffffff811b098c>] ext4_ext_truncate+0x8cc/0xa70 [<ffffffff810d713e>] ? pagevec_lookup+0x1e/0x30 [<ffffffff81191618>] ext4_truncate+0x178/0x5d0 [<ffffffff810eacbb>] ? unmap_mapping_range+0xab/0x280 [<ffffffff810d8976>] vmtruncate+0x56/0x70 [<ffffffff811925cb>] ext4_setattr+0x14b/0x460 [<ffffffff811319e4>] notify_change+0x194/0x380 [<ffffffff81117f80>] do_truncate+0x60/0x90 [<ffffffff811e08fa>] ? security_inode_permission+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff811eaec1>] ? tomoyo_path_truncate+0x11/0x20 [<ffffffff81127539>] do_last+0x5d9/0x770 [<ffffffff811278bd>] do_filp_open+0x1ed/0x680 [<ffffffff8140644f>] ? page_fault+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81132bfc>] ? alloc_fd+0xec/0x140 [<ffffffff81118db1>] do_sys_open+0x61/0x120 [<ffffffff81118e8b>] sys_open+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff81002e6b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302 Reported-by: Mathias BurÃn <mathias.buren@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@xxxxxxx> Cc: jiayingz@xxxxxxxxxx --- fs/ext4/mballoc.c | 2 -- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c index c58eba3..5b4d4e3 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c +++ b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c @@ -4640,8 +4640,6 @@ do_more: * with group lock held. generate_buddy look at * them with group lock_held */ - if (test_opt(sb, DISCARD)) - ext4_issue_discard(sb, block_group, bit, count); ext4_lock_group(sb, block_group); mb_clear_bits(bitmap_bh->b_data, bit, count); mb_free_blocks(inode, &e4b, bit, count); -- 1.7.3.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
