[PATCH] mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Wed Feb 23 2011 - 07:50:39 EST


Linus, Andrew,

This resolves Bug 25822 listed in the regressions since 2.6.36 (though
it's a bug much older than that, for some reason it only started
triggering for people recently).

Summary of discussion of below patch by Hugh:

An executive summary of the thread that followed would be that hch
dislikes the bloat, as we all do, but Miklos and I don't see a
decent alternative (and hch has not proposed one).

Please consider this for 2.6.38.

Thanks,
Miklos

Subject: mm: prevent concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same inode

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Michael Leun reported that running parallel opens on a fuse filesystem
can trigger a "kernel BUG at mm/truncate.c:475"

Gurudas Pai reported the same bug on NFS.

The reason is, unmap_mapping_range() is not prepared for more than
one concurrent invocation per inode. For example:

thread1: going through a big range, stops in the middle of a vma and
stores the restart address in vm_truncate_count.

thread2: comes in with a small (e.g. single page) unmap request on
the same vma, somewhere before restart_address, finds that the
vma was already unmapped up to the restart address and happily
returns without doing anything.

Another scenario would be two big unmap requests, both having to
restart the unmapping and each one setting vm_truncate_count to its
own value. This could go on forever without any of them being able to
finish.

Truncate and hole punching already serialize with i_mutex. Other
callers of unmap_mapping_range() do not, and it's difficult to get
i_mutex protection for all callers. In particular ->d_revalidate(),
which calls invalidate_inode_pages2_range() in fuse, may be called
with or without i_mutex.

This patch adds a new mutex to 'struct address_space' to prevent
running multiple concurrent unmap_mapping_range() on the same mapping.
