[ Upstream commit ecf5fc6 ] Nikolay has reported a hang when a memcg reclaim got stuck with the following backtrace: PID: 18308 TASK: ffff883d7c9b0a30 CPU: 1 COMMAND: "rsync" #0 __schedule at ffffffff815ab152 #1 schedule at ffffffff815ab76e #2 schedule_timeout at ffffffff815ae5e5 #3 io_schedule_timeout at ffffffff815aad6a #4 bit_wait_io at ffffffff815abfc6 #5 __wait_on_bit at ffffffff815abda5 #6 wait_on_page_bit at ffffffff8111fd4f #7 shrink_page_list at ffffffff81135445 #8 shrink_inactive_list at ffffffff81135845 #9 shrink_lruvec at ffffffff81135ead #10 shrink_zone at ffffffff811360c3 #11 shrink_zones at ffffffff81136eff #12 do_try_to_free_pages at ffffffff8113712f #13 try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages at ffffffff811372be #14 try_charge at ffffffff81189423 #15 mem_cgroup_try_charge at ffffffff8118c6f5 #16 __add_to_page_cache_locked at ffffffff8112137d #17 add_to_page_cache_lru at ffffffff81121618 #18 pagecache_get_page at ffffffff8112170b #19 grow_dev_page at ffffffff811c8297 #20 __getblk_slow at ffffffff811c91d6 #21 __getblk_gfp at ffffffff811c92c1 #22 ext4_ext_grow_indepth at ffffffff8124565c #23 ext4_ext_create_new_leaf at ffffffff81246ca8 #24 ext4_ext_insert_extent at ffffffff81246f09 #25 ext4_ext_map_blocks at ffffffff8124a848 #26 ext4_map_blocks at ffffffff8121a5b7 #27 mpage_map_one_extent at ffffffff8121b1fa #28 mpage_map_and_submit_extent at ffffffff8121f07b #29 ext4_writepages at ffffffff8121f6d5 #30 do_writepages at ffffffff8112c490 #31 __filemap_fdatawrite_range at ffffffff81120199 #32 filemap_flush at ffffffff8112041c #33 ext4_alloc_da_blocks at ffffffff81219da1 #34 ext4_rename at ffffffff81229b91 #35 ext4_rename2 at ffffffff81229e32 #36 vfs_rename at ffffffff811a08a5 #37 SYSC_renameat2 at ffffffff811a3ffc #38 sys_renameat2 at ffffffff811a408e #39 sys_rename at ffffffff8119e51e #40 system_call_fastpath at ffffffff815afa89 Dave Chinner has properly pointed out that this is a deadlock in the reclaim code because ext4 doesn't submit pages which are marked by PG_writeback right away. The heuristic was introduced by commit e62e384 ("memcg: prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") and it was applied only when may_enter_fs was specified. The code has been changed by c3b94f4 ("memcg: further prevent OOM with too many dirty pages") which has removed the __GFP_FS restriction with a reasoning that we do not get into the fs code. But this is not sufficient apparently because the fs doesn't necessarily submit pages marked PG_writeback for IO right away. ext4_bio_write_page calls io_submit_add_bh but that doesn't necessarily submit the bio. Instead it tries to map more pages into the bio and mpage_map_one_extent might trigger memcg charge which might end up waiting on a page which is marked PG_writeback but hasn't been submitted yet so we would end up waiting for something that never finishes. Fix this issue by replacing __GFP_IO by may_enter_fs check (for case 2) before we go to wait on the writeback. The page fault path, which is the only path that triggers memcg oom killer since 3.12, shouldn't require GFP_NOFS and so we shouldn't reintroduce the premature OOM killer issue which was originally addressed by the heuristic. As per David Chinner the xfs is doing similar thing since 2.6.15 already so ext4 is not the only affected filesystem. Moreover he notes: : For example: IO completion might require unwritten extent conversion : which executes filesystem transactions and GFP_NOFS allocations. The : writeback flag on the pages can not be cleared until unwritten : extent conversion completes. Hence memory reclaim cannot wait on : page writeback to complete in GFP_NOFS context because it is not : safe to do so, memcg reclaim or otherwise.

commit 3998e6b upstream. When the final cifsFileInfo_put() is called from cifsiod and an oplock break work is queued, lockdep complains loudly: ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 4.11.0+ #21 Not tainted --------------------------------------------- kworker/0:2/78 is trying to acquire lock: ("cifsiod"){++++.+}, at: flush_work+0x215/0x350 but task is already holding lock: ("cifsiod"){++++.+}, at: process_one_work+0x255/0x8e0 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock("cifsiod"); lock("cifsiod"); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 2 locks held by kworker/0:2/78: #0: ("cifsiod"){++++.+}, at: process_one_work+0x255/0x8e0 #1: ((&wdata->work)){+.+...}, at: process_one_work+0x255/0x8e0 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 78 Comm: kworker/0:2 Not tainted 4.11.0+ #21 Workqueue: cifsiod cifs_writev_complete Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 __lock_acquire+0x17dd/0x2260 ? match_held_lock+0x20/0x2b0 ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x86/0x130 ? mark_lock+0xa6/0x920 lock_acquire+0xcc/0x260 ? lock_acquire+0xcc/0x260 ? flush_work+0x215/0x350 flush_work+0x236/0x350 ? flush_work+0x215/0x350 ? destroy_worker+0x170/0x170 __cancel_work_timer+0x17d/0x210 ? ___preempt_schedule+0x16/0x18 cancel_work_sync+0x10/0x20 cifsFileInfo_put+0x338/0x7f0 cifs_writedata_release+0x2a/0x40 ? cifs_writedata_release+0x2a/0x40 cifs_writev_complete+0x29d/0x850 ? preempt_count_sub+0x18/0xd0 process_one_work+0x304/0x8e0 worker_thread+0x9b/0x6a0 kthread+0x1b2/0x200 ? process_one_work+0x8e0/0x8e0 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x31/0x40 This is a real warning. Since the oplock is queued on the same workqueue this can deadlock if there is only one worker thread active for the workqueue (which will be the case during memory pressure when the rescuer thread is handling it). Furthermore, there is at least one other kind of hang possible due to the oplock break handling if there is only worker. (This can be reproduced without introducing memory pressure by having passing 1 for the max_active parameter of cifsiod.) cifs_oplock_break() can wait indefintely in the filemap_fdatawait() while the cifs_writev_complete() work is blocked: sysrq: SysRq : Show Blocked State task PC stack pid father kworker/0:1 D 0 16 2 0x00000000 Workqueue: cifsiod cifs_oplock_break Call Trace: __schedule+0x562/0xf40 ? mark_held_locks+0x4a/0xb0 schedule+0x57/0xe0 io_schedule+0x21/0x50 wait_on_page_bit+0x143/0x190 ? add_to_page_cache_lru+0x150/0x150 __filemap_fdatawait_range+0x134/0x190 ? do_writepages+0x51/0x70 filemap_fdatawait_range+0x14/0x30 filemap_fdatawait+0x3b/0x40 cifs_oplock_break+0x651/0x710 ? preempt_count_sub+0x18/0xd0 process_one_work+0x304/0x8e0 worker_thread+0x9b/0x6a0 kthread+0x1b2/0x200 ? process_one_work+0x8e0/0x8e0 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x31/0x40 dd D 0 683 171 0x00000000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x562/0xf40 ? mark_held_locks+0x29/0xb0 schedule+0x57/0xe0 io_schedule+0x21/0x50 wait_on_page_bit+0x143/0x190 ? add_to_page_cache_lru+0x150/0x150 __filemap_fdatawait_range+0x134/0x190 ? do_writepages+0x51/0x70 filemap_fdatawait_range+0x14/0x30 filemap_fdatawait+0x3b/0x40 filemap_write_and_wait+0x4e/0x70 cifs_flush+0x6a/0xb0 filp_close+0x52/0xa0 __close_fd+0xdc/0x150 SyS_close+0x33/0x60 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xbe Showing all locks held in the system: 2 locks held by kworker/0:1/16: #0: ("cifsiod"){.+.+.+}, at: process_one_work+0x255/0x8e0 #1: ((&cfile->oplock_break)){+.+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x255/0x8e0 Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: workqueue cifsiod: flags=0xc pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 in-flight: 16:cifs_oplock_break delayed: cifs_writev_complete, cifs_echo_request pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 hung=0s workers=3 idle: 750 3 Fix these problems by creating a a new workqueue (with a rescuer) for the oplock break work.
