[ Upstream commit 6c02757c936063f0631b4e43fe156f8c8f1f351f ]
There's issue when do io test: WARN: soft lockup - CPU#45 stuck for 11s! [jbd2/dm-2-8:4170] CPU: 45 PID: 4170 Comm: jbd2/dm-2-8 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G OE Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x1a0 show_stack+0x24/0x30 dump_stack+0xb0/0x100 watchdog_timer_fn+0x254/0x3f8 __hrtimer_run_queues+0x11c/0x380 hrtimer_interrupt+0xfc/0x2f8 arch_timer_handler_phys+0x38/0x58 handle_percpu_devid_irq+0x90/0x248 generic_handle_irq+0x3c/0x58 __handle_domain_irq+0x68/0xc0 gic_handle_irq+0x90/0x320 el1_irq+0xcc/0x180 queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x1d8/0x320 jbd2_journal_commit_transaction+0x10f4/0x1c78 [jbd2] kjournald2+0xec/0x2f0 [jbd2] kthread+0x134/0x138 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18
Analyzed informations from vmcore as follows: (1) There are about 5k+ jbd2_inode in 'commit_transaction->t_inode_list'; (2) Now is processing the 855th jbd2_inode; (3) JBD2 task has TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag; (4) There's no pags in address_space around the 855th jbd2_inode; (5) There are some process is doing drop caches; (6) Mounted with 'nodioread_nolock' option; (7) 128 CPUs;
According to informations from vmcore we know 'journal->j_list_lock' spin lock competition is fierce. So journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() maybe process slowly. Theoretically, there is scheduling point in the filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors(). However, if inode's address_space has no pages which taged with PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK, will not call cond_resched(). So may lead to soft lockup. journal_finish_inode_data_buffers filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors __filemap_fdatawait_range while (index <= end) nr_pages = pagevec_lookup_range_tag(&pvec, mapping, &index, end, PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK); if (!nr_pages) break; --> If 'nr_pages' is equal zero will break, then will not call cond_resched() for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) wait_on_page_writeback(page); cond_resched();
To solve above issue, add scheduling point in the journal_finish_inode_data_buffers();
