I think I have something that works better for you than returning -EEXIST
(because you don't actually want -EEXIST, you want -EAGAIN):
/* insert the new inode */
- spin_lock(&pag->pag_ici_lock);
- error = radix_tree_insert(&pag->pag_ici_root, agino, ip);
- if (unlikely(error)) {
- WARN_ON(error != -EEXIST);
- XFS_STATS_INC(mp, xs_ig_dup);
- error = -EAGAIN;
- goto out_preload_end;
- }
- spin_unlock(&pag->pag_ici_lock);
- radix_tree_preload_end();
+ curr = xa_cmpxchg(&pag->pag_ici_xa, agino, NULL, ip, GFP_NOFS);
+ error = __xa_race(curr, -EAGAIN);
+ if (error)
+ goto out_unlock;
...
-out_preload_end:
- spin_unlock(&pag->pag_ici_lock);
- radix_tree_preload_end();
+out_unlock:
+ if (error == -EAGAIN)
+ XFS_STATS_INC(mp, xs_ig_dup);
I've changed the behaviour slightly in that returning an -ENOMEM used to
hit a WARN_ON, and I don't think that's the right response -- GFP_NOFS
returning -ENOMEM probably gets you a nice warning already from the
mm code.
