Subject: mm/migrate: fix deadlock in migrate_pages_batch() on large folios
Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2024 23:49:13 +0800
Currently, migrate_pages_batch() can lock multiple locked folios with an
arbitrary order. Although folio_trylock() is used to avoid deadlock as
commit 2ef7dbb26990 ("migrate_pages: try migrate in batch asynchronously
firstly") mentioned, it seems try_split_folio() is still missing.
It was found by compaction stress test when I explicitly enable EROFS
compressed files to use large folios, which case I cannot reproduce with
the same workload if large folio support is off (current mainline).
Typically, filesystem reads (with locked file-backed folios) could use
another bdev/meta inode to load some other I/Os (e.g. inode extent
metadata or caching compressed data), so the locking order will be:
file-backed folios (A)
bdev/meta folios (B)
The following calltrace shows the deadlock:
Thread 1 takes (B) lock and tries to take folio (A) lock
Thread 2 takes (A) lock and tries to take folio (B) lock
