[PATCH] mm: fs: fix lru_cache_disabled race in bh_lru

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Tue Mar 08 2022 - 13:07:33 EST


Check lru_cache_disabled under bh_lru_lock. Otherwise, it could
introduce race below and it fails to migrate pages containing
buffer_head.

CPU 0 CPU 1

bh_lru_install
lru_cache_disable
lru_cache_disabled = false
atomic_inc(&lru_disable_count);
invalidate_bh_lrus_cpu of CPU 0
bh_lru_lock
__invalidate_bh_lrus
bh_lru_unlock
bh_lru_lock
install the bh
bh_lru_unlock

Fixes: 8cc621d2f45d (mm: fs: invalidate BH LRU during page migration)
