Revision 3b6b7813b198b578aa7e04e4047ddb8225c37b7f authored by Mikulas Patocka on 20 March 2013, 17:21:25 UTC, committed by Alasdair G Kergon on 20 March 2013, 17:21:25 UTC
A deadlock was found in the prefetch code in the dm verity map function. This patch fixes this by transferring the prefetch to a worker thread and skipping it completely if kmalloc fails. If generic_make_request is called recursively, it queues the I/O request on the current->bio_list without making the I/O request and returns. The routine making the recursive call cannot wait for the I/O to complete. The deadlock occurs when one thread grabs the bufio_client mutex and waits for an I/O to complete but the I/O is queued on another thread's current->bio_list and is waiting to get the mutex held by the first thread. The fix recognises that prefetching is not essential. If memory can be allocated, it queues the prefetch request to the worker thread, but if not, it does nothing.

* The madvise(2) system call.
*
* Applications can use madvise() to advise the kernel how it should
* handle paging I/O in this VM area. The idea is to help the kernel
* use appropriate read-ahead and caching techniques. The information
* provided is advisory only, and can be safely disregarded by the
* kernel without affecting the correct operation of the application.
*
* behavior values:
* MADV_NORMAL - the default behavior is to read clusters. This
* results in some read-ahead and read-behind.
* MADV_RANDOM - the system should read the minimum amount of data
* on any access, since it is unlikely that the appli-
* cation will need more than what it asks for.
* MADV_SEQUENTIAL - pages in the given range will probably be accessed
* once, so they can be aggressively read ahead, and
* can be freed soon after they are accessed.
* MADV_WILLNEED - the application is notifying the system to read
* some pages ahead.
* MADV_DONTNEED - the application is finished with the given range,
* so the kernel can free resources associated with it.
* MADV_REMOVE - the application wants to free up the given range of
* pages and associated backing store.
* MADV_DONTFORK - omit this area from child's address space when forking:
* typically, to avoid COWing pages pinned by get_user_pages().
* MADV_DOFORK - cancel MADV_DONTFORK: no longer omit this area when forking.
* MADV_MERGEABLE - the application recommends that KSM try to merge pages in
* this area with pages of identical content from other such areas.
* MADV_UNMERGEABLE- cancel MADV_MERGEABLE: no longer merge pages with others.
*
* return values:
* zero - success
* -EINVAL - start + len < 0, start is not page-aligned,
* "behavior" is not a valid value, or application
* is attempting to release locked or shared pages.
* -ENOMEM - addresses in the specified range are not currently
* mapped, or are outside the AS of the process.
* -EIO - an I/O error occurred while paging in data.
* -EBADF - map exists, but area maps something that isn't a file.
* -EAGAIN - a kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
