Hello, So, this patch should do. Joe, Vivek, can one of you guys please verify that the oops goes away with this patch? Jens, the original thread can be read at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1720729 The fix converts blkg->refcnt from int to atomic_t. It does some overhead but it should be minute compared to everything else which is going on and the involved cacheline bouncing, so I think it's highly unlikely to cause any noticeable difference. Also, the refcnt in question should be converted to a perpcu_ref for blk-mq anyway, so the atomic_t is likely to go away pretty soon anyway. Thanks. ------- 8< ------- __blkg_release_rcu() may be invoked after the associated request_queue is released with a RCU grace period inbetween. As such, the function and callbacks invoked from it must not dereference the associated request_queue. This is clearly indicated in the comment above the function. Unfortunately, while trying to fix a different issue, 2a4fd070ee85 ("blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback") ignored this and added [un]locking of @blkg->q->queue_lock to __blkg_release_rcu(). This of course can cause oops as the request_queue may be long gone by the time this code gets executed. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 21 PID: 30 Comm: rcuos/21 Not tainted 3.15.0 #1 Hardware name: Stratus ftServer 6400/G7LAZ, BIOS BIOS Version 6.3:57 12/25/2013 task: ffff880854021de0 ti: ffff88085403c000 task.ti: ffff88085403c000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8162e9e5>] [<ffffffff8162e9e5>] _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x15/0x60 RSP: 0018:ffff88085403fdf0 EFLAGS: 00010086 RAX: 0000000000020000 RBX: 0000000000000010 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000060ef80008248 RSI: 0000000000000286 RDI: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RBP: ffff88085403fdf0 R08: 0000000000000286 R09: 0000000000009f39 R10: 0000000000020001 R11: 0000000000020001 R12: ffff88103c17a130 R13: ffff88103c17a080 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88107fca0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000006e5ab8 CR3: 000000000193d000 CR4: 00000000000407e0 Stack: ffff88085403fe18 ffffffff812cbfc2 ffff88103c17a130 0000000000000000 ffff88103c17a130 ffff88085403fec0 ffffffff810d1d28 ffff880854021de0 ffff880854021de0 ffff88107fcaec58 ffff88085403fe80 ffff88107fcaec30 Call Trace: [<ffffffff812cbfc2>] __blkg_release_rcu+0x72/0x150 [<ffffffff810d1d28>] rcu_nocb_kthread+0x1e8/0x300 [<ffffffff81091d81>] kthread+0xe1/0x100 [<ffffffff8163813c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Code: ff 47 04 48 8b 7d 08 be 00 02 00 00 e8 55 48 a4 ff 5d c3 0f 1f 00 66 66 66 66 90 55 48 89 e5 +fa 66 66 90 66 66 90 b8 00 00 02 00 <f0> 0f c1 07 89 c2 c1 ea 10 66 39 c2 75 02 5d c3 83 e2 fe 0f +b7 RIP [<ffffffff8162e9e5>] _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x15/0x60 RSP <ffff88085403fdf0> The request_queue locking was added because blkcg_gq->refcnt is an int protected with the queue lock and __blkg_release_rcu() needs to put the parent. Let's fix it by making blkcg_gq->refcnt an atomic_t and dropping queue locking in the function. Given the general heavy weight of the current request_queue and blkcg operations, this is unlikely to cause any noticeable overhead. Moreover, blkcg_gq->refcnt is likely to be converted to percpu_ref in the near future, so whatever (most likely negligible) overhead it may add is temporary.
