From df034c93f15ee71df231ff9fe311d27ff08a2a52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Jeffery Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 11:00:24 -0500 Subject: sbitmap: only queue kyber's wait callback if not already active Under heavy loads where the kyber I/O scheduler hits the token limits for its scheduling domains, kyber can become stuck. When active requests complete, kyber may not be woken up leaving the I/O requests in kyber stuck. This stuck state is due to a race condition with kyber and the sbitmap functions it uses to run a callback when enough requests have completed. The running of a sbt_wait callback can race with the attempt to insert the sbt_wait. Since sbitmap_del_wait_queue removes the sbt_wait from the list first then sets the sbq field to NULL, kyber can see the item as not on a list but the call to sbitmap_add_wait_queue will see sbq as non-NULL. This results in the sbt_wait being inserted onto the wait list but ws_active doesn't get incremented. So the sbitmap queue does not know there is a waiter on a wait list. Since sbitmap doesn't think there is a waiter, kyber may never be informed that there are domain tokens available and the I/O never advances. With the sbt_wait on a wait list, kyber believes it has an active waiter so cannot insert a new waiter when reaching the domain's full state. This race can be fixed by only adding the sbt_wait to the queue if the sbq field is NULL. If sbq is not NULL, there is already an action active which will trigger the re-running of kyber. Let it run and add the sbt_wait to the wait list if still needing to wait.
