dm: dynamically allocate the dm-bufio shrinker

2023-10-04T17:32:25+00:00

In preparation for implementing lockless slab shrink, use new APIs to dynamically allocate the dm-bufio shrinker, so that it can be freed asynchronously via RCU. Then it doesn't need to wait for RCU read-side critical section when releasing the struct dm_bufio_client.

dm: get rid of GFP_NOIO workarounds for __vmalloc and kvmalloc

2023-06-27T20:06:54+00:00

In the past, the function __vmalloc didn't respect the GFP flags - it allocated memory with the provided gfp flags, but it allocated page tables with GFP_KERNEL. This was fixed in commit 451769ebb7e7 ("mm/vmalloc: alloc GFP_NO{FS,IO} for vmalloc") so the memalloc_noio_{save,restore} workaround is no longer needed. The function kvmalloc didn't like flags different from GFP_KERNEL. This was fixed in commit a421ef303008 ("mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations for kvmalloc"), so kvmalloc can now be called with GFP_NOIO. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm thin metadata: Fix ABBA deadlock by resetting dm_bufio_client

2023-06-16T22:24:13+00:00

As described in commit 8111964f1b85 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata"), ABBA deadlocks will be triggered because shrinker_rwsem currently needs to held by dm_pool_abort_metadata() as a side-effect of thin-pool metadata operation failure. The following three problem scenarios have been noticed: 1) Described by commit 8111964f1b85 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata") 2) shrinker_rwsem and throttle->lock P1(drop cache) P2(kworker) drop_caches_sysctl_handler drop_slab shrink_slab down_read(&shrinker_rwsem) - LOCK A do_shrink_slab super_cache_scan prune_icache_sb dispose_list evict ext4_evict_inode ext4_clear_inode ext4_discard_preallocations ext4_mb_load_buddy_gfp ext4_mb_init_cache ext4_wait_block_bitmap __ext4_error ext4_handle_error ext4_commit_super ... dm_submit_bio do_worker throttle_work_update down_write(&t->lock) -- LOCK B process_deferred_bios commit metadata_operation_failed dm_pool_abort_metadata dm_block_manager_create dm_bufio_client_create register_shrinker down_write(&shrinker_rwsem) -- LOCK A thin_map thin_bio_map thin_defer_bio_with_throttle throttle_lock down_read(&t->lock) - LOCK B 3) shrinker_rwsem and wait_on_buffer P1(drop cache) P2(kworker) drop_caches_sysctl_handler drop_slab shrink_slab down_read(&shrinker_rwsem) - LOCK A do_shrink_slab ... ext4_wait_block_bitmap __ext4_error ext4_handle_error jbd2_journal_abort jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno jbd2_write_superblock submit_bh // LOCK B // RELEASE B do_worker throttle_work_update down_write(&t->lock) - LOCK B process_deferred_bios process_bio commit metadata_operation_failed dm_pool_abort_metadata dm_block_manager_create dm_bufio_client_create register_shrinker register_shrinker_prepared down_write(&shrinker_rwsem) - LOCK A bio_endio wait_on_buffer __wait_on_buffer Fix these by resetting dm_bufio_client without holding shrinker_rwsem.

mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely

2023-04-06T02:42:46+00:00

MAX_ORDER currently defined as number of orders page allocator supports: user can ask buddy allocator for page order between 0 and MAX_ORDER-1. This definition is counter-intuitive and lead to number of bugs all over the kernel. Change the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive: the range of orders user can ask from buddy allocator is 0..MAX_ORDER now.

dm: improve hash_locks sizing and hash function

2023-03-30T19:57:51+00:00

Both bufio and bio-prison-v1 use the identical model for splitting their respective locks and rbtrees. Improve dm_num_hash_locks() to distribute across more rbtrees to improve overall performance -- but the maximum number of locks/rbtrees is still 64. Also factor out a common hash function named dm_hash_locks_index(), the magic numbers used were determined to be best using this program: https://gist.github.com/jthornber/e05c47daa7b500c56dc339269c5467fc Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer
