dm: Fix typo in error message

2024-12-09T09:33:08Z

commit 2deb70d3e66d538404d9e71bff236e6d260da66e upstream. Remove the redundant "i" at the beginning of the error message. This "i" came from commit 1c1318866928 ("dm: prefer '"%s...", __func__'"), the "i" is accidentally left.

dm persistent data: fix memory allocation failure

2024-08-29T15:33:13Z

commit faada2174c08662ae98b439c69efe3e79382c538 upstream. kmalloc is unreliable when allocating more than 8 pages of memory. It may fail when there is plenty of free memory but the memory is fragmented. Zdenek Kabelac observed such failure in his tests. This commit changes kmalloc to kvmalloc - kvmalloc will fall back to vmalloc if the large allocation fails.

dm thin metadata: Fix ABBA deadlock by resetting dm_bufio_client

2023-06-16T22:24:13Z

As described in commit 8111964f1b85 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata"), ABBA deadlocks will be triggered because shrinker_rwsem currently needs to held by dm_pool_abort_metadata() as a side-effect of thin-pool metadata operation failure. The following three problem scenarios have been noticed: 1) Described by commit 8111964f1b85 ("dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata") 2) shrinker_rwsem and throttle->lock P1(drop cache) P2(kworker) drop_caches_sysctl_handler drop_slab shrink_slab down_read(&shrinker_rwsem) - LOCK A do_shrink_slab super_cache_scan prune_icache_sb dispose_list evict ext4_evict_inode ext4_clear_inode ext4_discard_preallocations ext4_mb_load_buddy_gfp ext4_mb_init_cache ext4_wait_block_bitmap __ext4_error ext4_handle_error ext4_commit_super ... dm_submit_bio do_worker throttle_work_update down_write(&t->lock) -- LOCK B process_deferred_bios commit metadata_operation_failed dm_pool_abort_metadata dm_block_manager_create dm_bufio_client_create register_shrinker down_write(&shrinker_rwsem) -- LOCK A thin_map thin_bio_map thin_defer_bio_with_throttle throttle_lock down_read(&t->lock) - LOCK B 3) shrinker_rwsem and wait_on_buffer P1(drop cache) P2(kworker) drop_caches_sysctl_handler drop_slab shrink_slab down_read(&shrinker_rwsem) - LOCK A do_shrink_slab ... ext4_wait_block_bitmap __ext4_error ext4_handle_error jbd2_journal_abort jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno jbd2_write_superblock submit_bh // LOCK B // RELEASE B do_worker throttle_work_update down_write(&t->lock) - LOCK B process_deferred_bios process_bio commit metadata_operation_failed dm_pool_abort_metadata dm_block_manager_create dm_bufio_client_create register_shrinker register_shrinker_prepared down_write(&shrinker_rwsem) - LOCK A bio_endio wait_on_buffer __wait_on_buffer Fix these by resetting dm_bufio_client without holding shrinker_rwsem.
