If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e15693ef18e13e3e6bffe891fe140f18b8ff6d07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 20:56:36 +0900 Subject: cfq-iosched: Fix wrong children_weight calculation From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e15693ef18e13e3e6bffe891fe140f18b8ff6d07 upstream. cfq_group_service_tree_add() is applying new_weight at the beginning of the function via cfq_update_group_weight(). This actually allows weight to change between adding it to and subtracting it from children_weight, and triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() in cfq_group_service_tree_del(), or even causes oops by divide error during vfr calculation in cfq_group_service_tree_add(). The detailed scenario is as follows: 1. Create blkio cgroups X and Y as a child of X. Set X's weight to 500 and perform some I/O to apply new_weight. This X's I/O completes before starting Y's I/O. 2. Y starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with Y. 3. cfq_group_service_tree_add() walks up the tree during children_weight calculation and adds parent X's weight (500) to children_weight of root. children_weight becomes 500. 4. Set X's weight to 1000. 5. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X. 6. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (1000). 7. I/O of Y completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with Y. 8. I/O of X completes and cfq_group_service_tree_del() is called with X. 9. cfq_group_service_tree_del() subtracts X's weight (1000) from children_weight of root. children_weight becomes -500. This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(). 10. Set X's weight to 500. 11. X starts I/O and cfq_group_service_tree_add() is called with X. 12. cfq_group_service_tree_add() applies its new_weight (500) and adds it to children_weight of root. children_weight becomes 0. Calcularion of vfr triggers oops by divide error. weight should be updated right before adding it to children_weight.
