blk-mq: fix hang caused by freeze/unfreeze sequence
The following is a description of a hang in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(). The hang happens on attempt to freeze a queue while another task does queue unfreeze. The root cause is an incorrect sequence of percpu_ref_resurrect() and percpu_ref_kill() and as a result those two can be swapped: CPU#0 CPU#1 ---------------- ----------------- q1 = blk_mq_init_queue(shared_tags) q2 = blk_mq_init_queue(shared_tags): blk_mq_add_queue_tag_set(shared_tags): blk_mq_update_tag_set_depth(shared_tags): list_for_each_entry() blk_mq_freeze_queue(q1) > percpu_ref_kill() > blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() blk_cleanup_queue(q1) blk_mq_freeze_queue(q1) > percpu_ref_kill() ^^^^^^ freeze_depth can't guarantee the order blk_mq_unfreeze_queue() > percpu_ref_resurrect() > blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() ^^^^^^ Hang here!!!! This wrong sequence raises kernel warning: percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm called more than once on blk_queue_usage_counter_release! WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11854 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:336 percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm+0x99/0xb0 But the most unpleasant effect is a hang of a blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(), which waits for a zero of a q_usage_counter, which never happens because percpu-ref was reinited (instead of being killed) and stays in PERCPU state forever. How to reproduce: - "insmod null_blk.ko shared_tags=1 nr_devices=0 queue_mode=2" - cpu0: python Script.py 0; taskset the corresponding process running on cpu0 - cpu1: python Script.py 1; taskset the corresponding process running on cpu1 Script.py: ------ #!/usr/bin/python3 import os import sys while True: on = "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/nullb/%s/power" % sys.argv[1] off = "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/config/nullb/%s/power" % sys.argv[1] os.system(on) os.system(off) ------ This bug was first reported and fixed by Roman, previous discussion: [1] Message id: [email protected] [2] Message id: [email protected] [3] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9268199/ Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Roman Pen <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Bob Liu <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
