4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxx> commit b094f89ca42fbb8ce40174d5f85ca8430e499da6 upstream. Liu reported that running certain parts of xfstests threw the following error: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/page_alloc.c:3190 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 6, name: kworker/u16:0 3 locks held by kworker/u16:0/6: #0: ("writeback"){++++.+}, at: [<ffffffff8107f083>] process_one_work+0x173/0x730 #1: ((&(&wb->dwork)->work)){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8107f083>] process_one_work+0x173/0x730 #2: (&type->s_umount_key#44){+++++.}, at: [<ffffffff811e6805>] trylock_super+0x25/0x60 CPU: 5 PID: 6 Comm: kworker/u16:0 Tainted: G OE 4.3.0+ #3 Hardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-btrfs-108) ffffffff81a3abab ffff88042e282ba8 ffffffff8130191b ffffffff81a3abab 0000000000000c76 ffff88042e282ba8 ffff88042e27c180 ffff88042e282bd8 ffffffff8108ed95 ffff880400000004 0000000000000000 0000000000000c76 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8130191b>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x74 [<ffffffff8108ed95>] ___might_sleep+0x185/0x240 [<ffffffff8108eea2>] __might_sleep+0x52/0x90 [<ffffffff811817e8>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x268/0x410 [<ffffffff8109a43c>] ? sched_clock_local+0x1c/0x90 [<ffffffff8109a6d1>] ? local_clock+0x21/0x40 [<ffffffff810b9eb0>] ? __lock_release+0x420/0x510 [<ffffffff810b534c>] ? __lock_acquired+0x16c/0x3c0 [<ffffffff811ca265>] alloc_pages_current+0xc5/0x210 [<ffffffffa0577105>] ? rbio_is_full+0x55/0x70 [btrfs] [<ffffffff810b7ed8>] ? mark_held_locks+0x78/0xa0 [<ffffffff81666d50>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x40/0x60 [<ffffffffa0578c0a>] full_stripe_write+0x5a/0xc0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0578ca9>] __raid56_parity_write+0x39/0x60 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0578deb>] run_plug+0x11b/0x140 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0578e33>] btrfs_raid_unplug+0x23/0x70 [btrfs] [<ffffffff812d36c2>] blk_flush_plug_list+0x82/0x1f0 [<ffffffff812e0349>] blk_sq_make_request+0x1f9/0x740 [<ffffffff812ceba2>] ? generic_make_request_checks+0x222/0x7c0 [<ffffffff812cf264>] ? blk_queue_enter+0x124/0x310 [<ffffffff812cf1d2>] ? blk_queue_enter+0x92/0x310 [<ffffffff812d0ae2>] generic_make_request+0x172/0x2c0 [<ffffffff812d0ad4>] ? generic_make_request+0x164/0x2c0 [<ffffffff812d0ca0>] submit_bio+0x70/0x140 [<ffffffffa0577b29>] ? rbio_add_io_page+0x99/0x150 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0578a89>] finish_rmw+0x4d9/0x600 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0578c4c>] full_stripe_write+0x9c/0xc0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa057ab7f>] raid56_parity_write+0xef/0x160 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa052bd83>] btrfs_map_bio+0xe3/0x2d0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa04fbd6d>] btrfs_submit_bio_hook+0x8d/0x1d0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa05173c4>] submit_one_bio+0x74/0xb0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0517f55>] submit_extent_page+0xe5/0x1c0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0519b18>] __extent_writepage_io+0x408/0x4c0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa05179c0>] ? alloc_dummy_extent_buffer+0x140/0x140 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa051dc88>] __extent_writepage+0x218/0x3a0 [btrfs] [<ffffffff810b7ed8>] ? mark_held_locks+0x78/0xa0 [<ffffffffa051e2c9>] extent_write_cache_pages.clone.0+0x2f9/0x400 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa051e422>] extent_writepages+0x52/0x70 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa05001f0>] ? btrfs_set_inode_index+0x70/0x70 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa04fcc17>] btrfs_writepages+0x27/0x30 [btrfs] [<ffffffff81184df3>] do_writepages+0x23/0x40 [<ffffffff81212229>] __writeback_single_inode+0x89/0x4d0 [<ffffffff81212a60>] ? writeback_sb_inodes+0x260/0x480 [<ffffffff81212a60>] ? writeback_sb_inodes+0x260/0x480 [<ffffffff8121295f>] ? writeback_sb_inodes+0x15f/0x480 [<ffffffff81212ad2>] writeback_sb_inodes+0x2d2/0x480 [<ffffffff810b1397>] ? down_read_trylock+0x57/0x60 [<ffffffff811e6805>] ? trylock_super+0x25/0x60 [<ffffffff810d629f>] ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x4f/0x90 [<ffffffff81212d0c>] __writeback_inodes_wb+0x8c/0xc0 [<ffffffff812130b5>] wb_writeback+0x2b5/0x500 [<ffffffff810b7ed8>] ? mark_held_locks+0x78/0xa0 [<ffffffff810660a8>] ? __local_bh_enable_ip+0x68/0xc0 [<ffffffff81213362>] ? wb_do_writeback+0x62/0x310 [<ffffffff812133c1>] wb_do_writeback+0xc1/0x310 [<ffffffff8107c3d9>] ? set_worker_desc+0x79/0x90 [<ffffffff81213842>] wb_workfn+0x92/0x330 [<ffffffff8107f133>] process_one_work+0x223/0x730 [<ffffffff8107f083>] ? process_one_work+0x173/0x730 [<ffffffff8108035f>] ? worker_thread+0x18f/0x430 [<ffffffff810802ed>] worker_thread+0x11d/0x430 [<ffffffff810801d0>] ? maybe_create_worker+0xf0/0xf0 [<ffffffff810801d0>] ? maybe_create_worker+0xf0/0xf0 [<ffffffff810858df>] kthread+0xef/0x110 [<ffffffff8108f74e>] ? schedule_tail+0x1e/0xd0 [<ffffffff810857f0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x70/0x70 [<ffffffff816673bf>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 [<ffffffff810857f0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x70/0x70 The issue is that we've got the software context pinned while calling blk_flush_plug_list(), which flushes callbacks that are allowed to sleep. btrfs and raid has such callbacks. Flip the checks around a bit, so we can enable preempt a bit earlier and flush plugs without having preempt disabled. This only affects blk-mq driven devices, and only those that register a single queue.
