blk-mq: fix IO hang from sbitmap wakeup race
[ Upstream commit 5266caaf5660529e3da53004b8b7174cab6374ed ]
In blk_mq_mark_tag_wait(), __add_wait_queue() may be re-ordered
with the following blk_mq_get_driver_tag() in case of getting driver
tag failure.
Then in __sbitmap_queue_wake_up(), waitqueue_active() may not observe
the added waiter in blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() and wake up nothing, meantime
blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() can't get driver tag successfully.
This issue can be reproduced by running the following test in loop, and
fio hang can be observed in < 30min when running it on my test VM
in laptop.
modprobe -r scsi_debug
modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dev_size_mb=4096 max_queue=1 host_max_queue=1 submit_queues=4
dev=`ls -d /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/adapter*/host*/target*/*/block/* | head -1 | xargs basename`
fio --filename=/dev/"$dev" --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k --iodepth=1 \
--runtime=100 --numjobs=40 --time_based --name=test \
--ioengine=libaio
Fix the issue by adding one explicit barrier in blk_mq_mark_tag_wait(), which
is just fine in case of running out of tag.
