[PATCH v2] ext4: Fix dead loop in ext4_mb_new_blocks

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

 



As we test disk offline/online with running fsstress, we find fsstress
process is keeping running state.

ext4_mb_new_blocks
repeat:
	ext4_mb_discard_preallocations_should_retry(sb, ac, &seq)
		freed = ext4_mb_discard_preallocations
			ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations
				this_cpu_inc(discard_pa_seq);
		---> freed == 0
		seq_retry = ext4_get_discard_pa_seq_sum
			for_each_possible_cpu(__cpu)
				__seq += per_cpu(discard_pa_seq, __cpu);
		if (seq_retry != *seq) {
			*seq = seq_retry;
			ret = true;
		}

As we see seq_retry is sum of discard_pa_seq every cpu, if
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations return zero discard_pa_seq in this
cpu maybe increase one, so condition "seq_retry != *seq" have always
been met.
To Fix this problem, ext4_get_discard_pa_seq_sum function couldn't add
own's cpu "discard_pa_seq" value.
