So using this technique, I've discovered that there's a dirty page
accounting leak that eventually results in fsx hanging in
balance_dirty_pages().

As you can see, the system only has 1GB of 16GB of memory used, but
it's got 2.8GB of dirty pages accounted and so any write that is
done will now hang on the dirty page throttle.

It is node 3 that fsx has been running on and it's the only
node that has been leaking dirty pages. Node 3 only
has 1GB of pages present, so having 2.8GB of dirty pages on the node
is just a little wrong. ZONE_NR_WRITE_PENDING, NR_FILE_DIRTY and
NR_DIRTY all match in terms of leaking dirty pages.
The reproducer for 5.19-rc4 is running fsx from fstests like so:
<create 8GB pmem/ramdisk>
mkfs.xfs -f /dev/pmem0
mount /dev/pmem0 /mnt/test
src/fstests/ltp/fsx q -N 100000000 -p 1000000 -o 128000 -l 600000 -C -I -X /mnt/test/junk
And this will leak around 300-400kB of dirty pages every second.
I suspect this is the same problem as the data corruption that
Darrick is seeing - that smells of a dirty multi-page folio that
hasn't been fully written back. e.g. a multipage folio gets marked
dirty so accounts mulitple pages dirty, but only a single page of
the folio is written and marked clean, leaking both dirty page
accounting and stale data contents on disk that fsx eventually trips
over.
I can't find a likely cause through reading the code, so maybe
someone who knows the mm accounting code better than I do can spot
the problem....
Cheers,
Dave.
