After some investigation, I have found the following issue: unlike other
zswap backends, zsmalloc performs the LRU list update at the object
mapping time, rather than when the slot for the object is allocated.
This deviation was discussed and agreed upon during the review process
of the zsmalloc writeback patch series:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y3flcAXNxxrvy3ZH@xxxxxxxxxxx/
Unfortunately, this introduces a subtle bug that occurs when there is a
concurrent store and reclaim, which interleave as follows:
zswap_frontswap_store() shrink_worker()
zs_malloc() zs_zpool_shrink()
spin_lock(&pool->lock) zs_reclaim_page()
zspage = find_get_zspage()
spin_unlock(&pool->lock)
spin_lock(&pool->lock)
zspage = list_first_entry(&pool->lru)
list_del(&zspage->lru)
zspage->lru.next = LIST_POISON1
zspage->lru.prev = LIST_POISON2
spin_unlock(&pool->lock)
zs_map_object()
spin_lock(&pool->lock)
if (!list_empty(&zspage->lru))
list_del(&zspage->lru)
CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION(next == LIST_POISON1) /* BOOM */
With the current upstream code, this issue rarely happens. zswap only
triggers writeback when the pool is already full, at which point all
further store attempts are short-circuited. This creates an implicit
pseudo-serialization between reclaim and store. I am working on a new
zswap shrinking mechanism, which makes interleaving reclaim and store
more likely, exposing this bug.
zbud and z3fold do not have this problem, because they perform the LRU
list update in the alloc function, while still holding the pool's lock.
This patch fixes the aforementioned bug by moving the LRU update back to
zs_malloc(), analogous to zbud and z3fold.
