[PATCH mm-unstable hotfix] mm/zswap: fix zswap_pools_lock usages after changing to percpu_ref

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

 



Now the release of zswap pool is controlled by percpu_ref, its release
callback (__zswap_pool_empty()) will be called when percpu_ref hit 0.
But this release callback may potentially be called from RCU callback
context by percpu_ref_kill(), which maybe in the interrupt context.

So we need to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_irqrestore()
in the release callback: __zswap_pool_empty(). In other task context
places, spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq() are enough to avoid
potential deadlock.

This problem is introduced by the commit f3da427e82c4 ("mm/zswap: change
zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref"), which is in mm-unstable branch now.
It can be reproduced by testing kernel build in tmpfs with zswap and
CONFIG_LOCKDEP enabled, meanwhile changing the zswap compressor setting
dynamically.
