Multi-gen LRU: avoid race in inc_min_seq()
inc_max_seq() will try to inc_min_seq() if nr_gens == MAX_NR_GENS. This
is because the generations are reused (the last oldest now empty
generation will become the next youngest generation).
inc_min_seq() is retried until successful, dropping the lru_lock
and yielding the CPU on each failure, and retaking the lock before
trying again:
while (!inc_min_seq(lruvec, type, can_swap)) {
spin_unlock_irq(&lruvec->lru_lock);
cond_resched();
spin_lock_irq(&lruvec->lru_lock);
}
However, the initial condition that required incrementing the min_seq
(nr_gens == MAX_NR_GENS) is not retested. This can change by another
call to inc_max_seq() from run_aging() with force_scan=true from the
debugfs interface.
Since the eviction stalls when the nr_gens == MIN_NR_GENS, avoid
unnecessarily incrementing the min_seq by rechecking the number of
generations before each attempt.
This issue was uncovered in previous discussion on the list by Yu Zhao
and Aneesh Kumar [1].
