From 365b94ae67d2915d412b593d47449a6bffed9d37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 14:47:55 +0200 Subject: writeback: Move clearing of I_SYNC into inode_sync_complete() Move clearing of I_SYNC into inode_sync_complete(). It is more logical to have clearing of I_SYNC bit and waking of waiters in one place. Also later we will have two places needing to clear I_SYNC and wake up waiters so this allows them to use the common helper. Moving of I_SYNC clearing to a later stage of writeback_single_inode() is safe since we hold i_lock all the time.

Also inode_wait_for_writeback() doesn't need wb->list_lock for anything.

The list requeing logic makes sense only for flusher thread but not really for sync_inode() or write_inode_now() callers. Also when we want to get rid of inode references held by flusher thread, we will need a special I_SYNC handling there. So separate part of writeback_single_inode() which does the real writeback work into __writeback_single_inode() and make writeback_single_inode() do only stuff necessary for callers writing only one inode, moving the special list handling into writeback_sb_inodes(). As a sideeffect this fixes a possible race where we could skip some inode during sync(2) because other writer refiled it from b_io to b_dirty list. Also I_SYNC handling is moved into the callers of __writeback_single_inode() to make locking easier.

As a result inode_sync_wait() in those places currently does nothing. However that is going to change and unveils problems with calling inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback(). Several filesystems call end_writeback() after they have deleted the inode (btrfs, gfs2, ...) and other filesystems (ext3, ext4, reiserfs, ...) can deadlock when waiting for I_SYNC because they call end_writeback() from within a transaction. To avoid these issues, we move inode_sync_wait() into evict_inode() before calling ->evict_inode(). That way we preserve the current property that ->evict_inode() and writeback never run in parallel and all filesystems are safe.

Some filesystems depend on flusher thread progressing (e.g. because they need to flush delay allocated blocks to reduce allocation uncertainty) and so flusher thread doing truncate creates interesting dependencies and possibilities for deadlocks. We get rid of iput() in flusher thread by using the fact that I_SYNC inode flag effectively pins the inode in memory. So if we take care to either hold i_lock or have I_SYNC set, we can get away without taking inode reference in writeback_sb_inodes(). As a side effect of these changes, we also fix possible use-after-free in wb_writeback() because inode_wait_for_writeback() call could try to reacquire i_lock on the inode that was already free.
