Subject: [PATCH] fscache: Use wake_up_var() to wake up pending volume acquisition

From: Hou Tao <[email protected]>

The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume
acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with
wait_var_event() used in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will
never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these two functions
operate on different wait-queues.

According to the implementation in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(),
if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20 seconds
(e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first
wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout and the following wait_var_event()
will hang forever as shown below:

FS-Cache: Potential volume collision new=00000024 old=00000022

Fixing it by using wake_up_var() instead of wake_up_bit(). In addition
because waitqueue_active() is used in wake_up_var() and clear_bit()
doesn't imply any memory barrier, so do smp_mb__after_atomic() before
invoking wake_up_var().

Hi David,

Could you please pick it up for v6.2 ?

Maybe this should be clear_bit_unlock() instead.

And I wonder if:

set_bit(FSCACHE_VOLUME_ACQUIRE_PENDING, &candidate->flags);

in fscache_hash_volume() needs a barrier before it.

That doesn't seem right.

wake_up_bit() is more selective, so should be preferred to wake_up_var().

Hi David,

Sorry for the late reply. Busy for other business in work.

I'm not sure about that. In my understanding, clear_bit_unlock() is usually
paired with test_and_set_bit_lock() to implement bit lock to make sure the
writes before clear_bit_unlock() are visible to read access in concurrent
process, right ? But now the caller of fscache_wake_pending_volume() only modify
cursor->flags and nothing else, so I don't think it is needed here.
If its intended purpose is to provide the missing smp_mb() for wake_up_bit(), I
also don't think it is right, because the release barrier provided by
clear_bit_unlock() doesn't guarantee the order of cursor->flags and wq_head, so
I think one extra smp_mb_after_atomic() is also needed after
clear_bit(FSCACHE_VOLUME_ACQUIRE_PENDING, &cursor->flags).

If the above reasoning makes sense to you, I think we also need to add
smp_mb_after_atomic() for wake_up_bit() in fscache_create_volume_work().

I also don't get it. The barrier is used to guarantee the order between
cursor->flags and candidate->flags, right ? But the write and read of
cursor->flags and candidate->flags are protected by the same hash lock.

OK. Will update fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() to use wait_on_bit() accordingly.
