This is wrong as we didn't lock the dquot, and unlocking it means who-ever is holding the lock has had it silently taken away, and hence it results in a lock imbalance. Found by inspection while modifying the code for the numa-lru patchset. This fixes a random hang I've been seeing on xfstest 232 for the past several months. cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@xxxxxxx> commit 437a255aa23766666aec78af63be4c253faa8d57 Author: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 28 13:01:00 2012 +1100 xfs: fix direct IO nested transaction deadlock. The direct IO path can do a nested transaction reservation when writing past the EOF. The first transaction is the append transaction for setting the filesize at IO completion, but we can also need a transaction for allocation of blocks. If the log is low on space due to reservations and small log, the append transaction can be granted after wating for space as the only active transaction in the system. This then attempts a reservation for an allocation, which there isn't space in the log for, and the reservation sleeps. The result is that there is nothing left in the system to wake up all the processes waiting for log space to come free. The stack trace that shows this deadlock is relatively innocuous: xlog_grant_head_wait xlog_grant_head_check xfs_log_reserve xfs_trans_reserve xfs_iomap_write_direct __xfs_get_blocks xfs_get_blocks_direct do_blockdev_direct_IO __blockdev_direct_IO xfs_vm_direct_IO generic_file_direct_write xfs_file_dio_aio_writ xfs_file_aio_write do_sync_write vfs_write This was discovered on a filesystem with a log of only 10MB, and a log stripe unit of 256k whih increased the base reservations by 512k. Hence a allocation transaction requires 1.2MB of log space to be available instead of only 260k, and so greatly increased the chance that there wouldn't be enough log space available for the nested transaction to succeed. The key to reproducing it is this mkfs command: mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b $SCRATCH_DEV The test case was a 1000 fsstress processes running with random freeze and unfreezes every few seconds. Thanks to Eryu Guan (eguan@xxxxxxxxxx) for writing the test that found this on a system with a somewhat unique default configuration.... cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Andrew Dahl <adahl@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@xxxxxxx> commit ef9d873344ff9f5084eacb9f3735982314dfda9e Author: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 29 15:26:33 2012 +1100 xfs: byte range granularity for XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE simply does not work properly for non page cache aligned ranges. Neither test 242 or 290 exercise this correctly, so the behaviour is completely busted even though the tests pass. Fix it to support full byte range granularity as was originally intended for this ioctl.
