From 70022da804f0f3f152115688885608c39182082e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ye Bin Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 19:38:59 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: fix dead loop in ext4_mb_new_blocks As we test disk offline/online with running fsstress, we find fsstress process is keeping running state. kworker/u32:3-262 [004] ...1 140.787471: ext4_mb_discard_preallocations: dev 8,32 needed 114 .... kworker/u32:3-262 [004] ...1 140.787471: ext4_mb_discard_preallocations: dev 8,32 needed 114 ext4_mb_new_blocks repeat: ext4_mb_discard_preallocations_should_retry(sb, ac, &seq) freed = ext4_mb_discard_preallocations ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations this_cpu_inc(discard_pa_seq); ---> freed == 0 seq_retry = ext4_get_discard_pa_seq_sum for_each_possible_cpu(__cpu) __seq += per_cpu(discard_pa_seq, __cpu); if (seq_retry != *seq) { *seq = seq_retry; ret = true; } As we see seq_retry is sum of discard_pa_seq every cpu, if ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations return zero discard_pa_seq in this cpu maybe increase one, so condition "seq_retry != *seq" have always been met. Ritesh Harjani suggest to in ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations function we only increase discard_pa_seq when there is some PA to free.
