UBIFS: Remove incorrect assertion in shrink_tnc()
I hit the same assert failed as Dolev Raviv reported in Kernel v3.10 shows like this: [ 9641.164028] UBIFS assert failed in shrink_tnc at 131 (pid 13297) [ 9641.234078] CPU: 1 PID: 13297 Comm: mmap.test Tainted: G O 3.10.40 #1 [ 9641.234116] [<c0011a6c>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x12c) from [<c000d0b0>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) [ 9641.234137] [<c000d0b0>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) from [<c0311134>] (dump_stack+0x20/0x28) [ 9641.234188] [<c0311134>] (dump_stack+0x20/0x28) from [<bf22425c>] (shrink_tnc_trees+0x25c/0x350 [ubifs]) [ 9641.234265] [<bf22425c>] (shrink_tnc_trees+0x25c/0x350 [ubifs]) from [<bf2245ac>] (ubifs_shrinker+0x25c/0x310 [ubifs]) [ 9641.234307] [<bf2245ac>] (ubifs_shrinker+0x25c/0x310 [ubifs]) from [<c00cdad8>] (shrink_slab+0x1d4/0x2f8) [ 9641.234327] [<c00cdad8>] (shrink_slab+0x1d4/0x2f8) from [<c00d03d0>] (do_try_to_free_pages+0x300/0x544) [ 9641.234344] [<c00d03d0>] (do_try_to_free_pages+0x300/0x544) from [<c00d0a44>] (try_to_free_pages+0x2d0/0x398) [ 9641.234363] [<c00d0a44>] (try_to_free_pages+0x2d0/0x398) from [<c00c6a60>] (__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x494/0x7e8) [ 9641.234382] [<c00c6a60>] (__alloc_pages_nodemask+0x494/0x7e8) from [<c00f62d8>] (new_slab+0x78/0x238) [ 9641.234400] [<c00f62d8>] (new_slab+0x78/0x238) from [<c031081c>] (__slab_alloc.constprop.42+0x1a4/0x50c) [ 9641.234419] [<c031081c>] (__slab_alloc.constprop.42+0x1a4/0x50c) from [<c00f80e8>] (kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x54/0x188) [ 9641.234459] [<c00f80e8>] (kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x54/0x188) from [<bf227908>] (do_readpage+0x168/0x468 [ubifs]) [ 9641.234553] [<bf227908>] (do_readpage+0x168/0x468 [ubifs]) from [<bf2296a0>] (ubifs_readpage+0x424/0x464 [ubifs]) [ 9641.234606] [<bf2296a0>] (ubifs_readpage+0x424/0x464 [ubifs]) from [<c00c17c0>] (filemap_fault+0x304/0x418) [ 9641.234638] [<c00c17c0>] (filemap_fault+0x304/0x418) from [<c00de694>] (__do_fault+0xd4/0x530) [ 9641.234665] [<c00de694>] (__do_fault+0xd4/0x530) from [<c00e10c0>] (handle_pte_fault+0x480/0xf54) [ 9641.234690] [<c00e10c0>] (handle_pte_fault+0x480/0xf54) from [<c00e2bf8>] (handle_mm_fault+0x140/0x184) [ 9641.234716] [<c00e2bf8>] (handle_mm_fault+0x140/0x184) from [<c0316688>] (do_page_fault+0x150/0x3ac) [ 9641.234737] [<c0316688>] (do_page_fault+0x150/0x3ac) from [<c000842c>] (do_DataAbort+0x3c/0xa0) [ 9641.234759] [<c000842c>] (do_DataAbort+0x3c/0xa0) from [<c0314e38>] (__dabt_usr+0x38/0x40) After analyzing the code, I found a condition that may cause this failed in correct operations. Thus, I think this assertion is wrong and should be removed. Suppose there are two clean znodes and one dirty znode in TNC. So the per-filesystem atomic_t @clean_zn_cnt is (2). If commit start, dirty_znode is set to COW_ZNODE in get_znodes_to_commit() in case of potentially ops on this znode. We clear COW bit and DIRTY bit in write_index() without @tnc_mutex locked. We don't increase @clean_zn_cnt in this place. As the comments in write_index() shows, if another process hold @tnc_mutex and dirty this znode after we clean it, @clean_zn_cnt would be decreased to (1). We will increase @clean_zn_cnt to (2) with @tnc_mutex locked in free_obsolete_znodes() to keep it right. If shrink_tnc() performs between decrease and increase, it will release other 2 clean znodes it holds and found @clean_zn_cnt is less than zero (1 - 2 = -1), then hit the assertion. Because free_obsolete_znodes() will soon correct @clean_zn_cnt and no harm to fs in this case, I think this assertion could be removed. 2 clean zondes and 1 dirty znode, @clean_zn_cnt == 2 Thread A (commit) Thread B (write or others) Thread C (shrinker) ->write_index ->clear_bit(DIRTY_NODE) ->clear_bit(COW_ZNODE) @clean_zn_cnt == 2 ->mutex_locked(&tnc_mutex) ->dirty_cow_znode ->!ubifs_zn_cow(znode) ->!test_and_set_bit(DIRTY_NODE) ->atomic_dec(&clean_zn_cnt) ->mutex_unlocked(&tnc_mutex) @clean_zn_cnt == 1 ->mutex_locked(&tnc_mutex) ->shrink_tnc ->destroy_tnc_subtree ->atomic_sub(&clean_zn_cnt, 2) ->ubifs_assert <- hit ->mutex_unlocked(&tnc_mutex) @clean_zn_cnt == -1 ->mutex_lock(&tnc_mutex) ->free_obsolete_znodes ->atomic_inc(&clean_zn_cnt) ->mutux_unlock(&tnc_mutex) @clean_zn_cnt == 0 (correct after shrink) Signed-off-by: hujianyang <hujianyang@huawei.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>
