f2fs: fix to use bio_in_atomic() in f2fs_read_end_io()
f2fs_read_end_io() uses "in_task() && !irqs_disabled()" to decide whether it is safe to sleep, the result is passed down as @in_task to: - f2fs_put_dic() -> f2fs_free_dic() -> f2fs_release_decomp_mem() -> vm_unmap_ram(), which may sleep. - f2fs_end_read_compressed_page() -> f2fs_cache_compressed_page() -> f2fs_grab_cache() -> f2fs_lock_cache(), which may sleep in wait_on_bit_lock(). However, the check still treats below task contexts as sleepable: - with spinlock held via spin_lock(), i.e. preempt count != 0 while irqs are enabled. - with BH disabled via local_bh_disable(). - inside an RCU read lock on kernels with CONFIG_PREEMPTION. - with any spinlock held on kernels without CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT. So the "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue fixed by commit 08a7efc5b02a ("f2fs: vm_unmap_ram() may be called from an invalid context") can still be triggered. The block layer provides bio_in_atomic() for exactly this purpose, it checks rcu_preempt_depth() and preemptible(), and conservatively returns true if CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled, let's use it instead. The difference is as below: old: intask = in_task() && !irqs_disabled() new: intask = !bio_in_atomic() Context | old intask | new intask -------------------------------------+----------------+---------------- Hard IRQ / softirq | false | false IRQs disabled | false | false spin_lock() held, IRQs enabled | true (wrong) | false BH disabled by local_bh_disable() | true (wrong) | false RCU read lock (CONFIG_PREEMPTION) | true (wrong) | false Spinlock held, w/o PREEMPT_COUNT | true (wrong) | false Note that on kernels without CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, bio_in_atomic() always returns true, so dic freeing will always be offloaded to sbi->wq, and compressed pages will not be cached in f2fs_read_end_io(); this is the price of correctness, since there is no way to tell whether the current context can sleep.
