This patch should fix the oops seen by Daire while testing the latest NFS netfs fscache conversion patches [1][2]. What follows is a detailed explanation of the analysis, mostly for reference and in case any of the patch header is unclear. I am not sure if David Howells will see something else here or another approach, but if not Daire please give this patch a try and let me know if this fixes the problem and if you see any side-effects. The patch has been lightly tested with my unit tests and also some test which attempted (unsuccessfully so far) to reproduce this oops. Note: My full set of NFS netfs conversion patches I'm testing (which now includes the patch in this series) is pushed to github: https://github.com/DaveWysochanskiRH/kernel/commits/nfs-fscache-netfs https://github.com/DaveWysochanskiRH/kernel/commit/3a7100256a78a7617941c7b142e079bafb71c459 [1] https://listman.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2022-October/007259.html [2] https://marc.info/?l=linux-nfs&m=166600357429305&w=4 Analysis ======== >From Daire's latest ftrace log while running the debug patch, we see the following: $ grep -B 4000 "object == NULL:" loncloudnfscache5-serial.log | egrep '(c=00000b95|R=00278174)' [29690.046137] kworker/-19194 1..... 9424710955us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 - lrudo r=3 [29690.082232] kworker/-19194 1..... 9424710955us : fscache_access: c=00000b95 UNPIN cache r=3 a=0 [29690.091621] kworker/-19194 1..... 9424710955us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 GQ endac r=4 [29690.261035] kworker/-19194 1..... 9424710957us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 PUT lru r=3 [29690.607434] nfsd-2004 5...1. 9424710960us : fscache_active: c=00000b95 USE r=3 a=0 c=1 [29692.215455] nfsd-2004 5..... 9424710975us : fscache_access: c=00000b95 BEGIN io_read r=3 a=1 [29692.405546] kworker/-25371 0..... 9424710975us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 - work r=3 [29692.421426] nfsd-2004 5..... 9424710976us : netfs_read: R=00278174 READAHEAD c=00000b95 ni=8bb0005 s=0 10000 [29692.488038] kworker/-25371 0..... 9424710976us : cachefiles_ref: c=00000b95 o=0009b320 u=1 SEE withdraw_cookie [29692.520323] kworker/-25371 0...1. 9424710976us : cachefiles_ref: c=00000b95 o=0009b320 u=1 SEE withdrawal [29692.656826] kworker/-25371 0..... 9424710977us : cachefiles_ref: c=00000b95 o=0009b320 u=1 SEE clean_commit [29692.683613] nfsd-2004 5..... 9424710977us : netfs_rreq_ref: R=00278174 GET SUBREQ r=2 [29692.750300] nfsd-2004 5..... 9424710977us : cachefiles_prep_read: R=00278174[0] DOWN no-data f=01 s=0 10000 ni=8bb0005 B=5a601b9 [29692.837249] nfsd-2004 5..... 9424710977us : netfs_sreq: R=00278174[0] DOWN PREP f=01 s=0 0/10000 e=0 [29692.916087] nfsd-2004 5..... 9424710978us : netfs_sreq: R=00278174[0] DOWN SUBMT f=01 s=0 0/10000 e=0 [29693.315546] kworker/-25371 0..... 9424710983us : cachefiles_ref: c=00000b95 o=0009b320 u=1 PUT detach [29693.381768] kworker/-25371 0..... 9424710983us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 PUT obj r=2 [29693.427768] kworker/-25371 0...1. 9424710983us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 - x-lru r=2 [29693.446174] kworker/-25371 0..... 9424710984us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 PQ work r=1 [29720.026557] kworker/-23613 3..... 9424722078us : netfs_sreq: R=00278174[0] DOWN TERM f=01 s=0 10000/10000 e=0 [29720.037562] kworker/-23613 3..... 9424722078us : netfs_rreq: R=00278174 RA ASSESS f=22 [29720.061359] kworker/-23613 3..... 9424722079us : netfs_rreq: R=00278174 RA UNLOCK f=22 [29720.132747] kworker/-23613 3..... 9424722087us : netfs_sreq_ref: R=00278174[0] PUT TERM r=1 [29720.145155] kworker/-23613 3..... 9424722088us : netfs_rreq: R=00278174 RA COPY f=02 [29720.158119] kworker/-23613 3..... 9424722090us : cachefiles_prepare_write: object == NULL: c=00000b95 Decode the above trace envents one by one and figure out what happened. kworker/-19194: Runs because the LRU timer expired fscache_cookie_lru_timed_out() fscache_cookie_lru_worker() fscache_cookie_lru_do_one() [29690.046137] kworker/-19194 1..... 9424710955us : fscache_cookie: c=00000b95 - lrudo r=3 EM(fscache_cookie_see_lru_do_one, "- lrudo") \ 848 static void fscache_cookie_lru_do_one(struct fscache_cookie *cookie) 849 { 850 fscache_see_cookie(cookie, fscache_cookie_see_lru_do_one); 851 852 spin_lock(&cookie->lock); 853 if (cookie->state != FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_ACTIVE || 854 time_before(jiffies, cookie->unused_at + fscache_lru_cookie_timeout) || 855 atomic_read(&cookie->n_active) > 0) { ... 860 } else { 859 set_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_LRU_DISCARD, &cookie->flags); 860 spin_unlock(&cookie->lock); 861 fscache_stat(&fscache_n_cookies_lru_expired); 862 _debug("lru c=%x", cookie->debug_id); 863 __fscache_withdraw_cookie(cookie); ... 827 /* 828 * Wait for the object to become inactive.

Better yet, since the cookie state machine has not run yet for LRU_DISCARD bit, we can probably just ensure that part of the state machine does not run if we get another thread racing in between with a use_cookie - basically we took the cookie off the LRU and were about to go through the logic in the state machine that would withdraw the cookie, but we didn't get to that yet, and the 'use' should indicate we don't want to do that anymore. At this point I'm thinking some small patch inside __fscache_use_cookie() may work. Since the cookie_lru timer has popped and as stated earlier, we have the following set on various fields of the cookie: 1. cookie->state == FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_ACTIVE * Otherwise, we would have the 'then' clause would have executed in fscache_cookie_lru_do_one() lines 853-855 2. cookie->flags has set FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_LRU_DISCARD 3. cookie->n_accesses == 0 (the "a=0" in the "UNPIN cache" trace event Something that clears the FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_LRU_DISCARD bit should fix the problem since the next time the state machine runs it won't transition from cookie->state == FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_ACTIVE to cookie->state = FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_LRU_DISCARDING $ git diff fs/fscache/cookie.c diff --git a/fs/fscache/cookie.c b/fs/fscache/cookie.c index 451d8a077e12..a90c743fec79 100644 --- a/fs/fscache/cookie.c +++ b/fs/fscache/cookie.c @@ -605,6 +605,13 @@ void __fscache_use_cookie(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, bool will_modify) set_bit(FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_PREP_TO_WRITE, &cookie->flags); queue = true; } + /* + * We could race with cookie_lru which may set LRU_DISCARD bit + * but has yet to run the cookie state machine.
