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)
------
