[PATCH 6.12 456/826] zram: permit only one post-processing operation at a time

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 58652f2b6d21f2874c9f060165ec7e03e8b1fc71 ]

Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots during processing,
which makes things too complex wrt possible race-conditions.  We still
want to clear PP_SLOT in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that
slot that was selected for post-processing has been released under us and
when we start post-processing we check if slot still has PP_SLOT set.  At
the same time, theoretically, we can have something like this:

CPU0			    CPU1

recompress
scan slots
set PP_SLOT
unlock slot
			slot_free
			clear PP_SLOT

			allocate PP_SLOT
			writeback
			scan slots
			set PP_SLOT
			unlock slot
select PP-slot
test PP_SLOT

So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used and re-selected
for concurrent writeback post-processing.

Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation at a time.  So
now recompress and writeback post-processing don't race against each
other, we only need to handle slot re-use (slot_free and write), which is
handled individually by each pp operation.

Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots is not
exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).
