mm, fs: obey gfp_mapping for add_to_page_cache()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit 6afdb85 ("mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache
allocation paths") has caught some users of hardcoded GFP_KERNEL used in
the page cache allocation paths.  This, however, wasn't complete and
there were others which went unnoticed.

Dave Chinner has reported the following deadlock for xfs on loop device:
: With the recent merge of the loop device changes, I'm now seeing
: XFS deadlock on my single CPU, 1GB RAM VM running xfs/073.
:
: The deadlocked is as follows:
:
: kloopd1: loop_queue_read_work
:       xfs_file_iter_read
:       lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED (on image file)
:       page cache read (GFP_KERNEL)
:       radix tree alloc
:       memory reclaim
:       reclaim XFS inodes
:       log force to unpin inodes
:       <wait for log IO completion>
:
: xfs-cil/loop1: <does log force IO work>
:       xlog_cil_push
:       xlog_write
:       <loop issuing log writes>
:               xlog_state_get_iclog_space()
:               <blocks due to all log buffers under write io>
:               <waits for IO completion>
:
: kloopd1: loop_queue_write_work
:       xfs_file_write_iter
:       lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL (on image file)
:       <wait for inode to be unlocked>
:
: i.e. the kloopd, with it's split read and write work queues, has
: introduced a dependency through memory reclaim. i.e. that writes
: need to be able to progress for reads make progress.
:
: The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a
: GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's
: mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS.
:
: The didn't used to happen, because the loop device used to issue
: reads through the splice path and that does:
:
:       error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index,
:                       GFP_KERNEL & mapping_gfp_mask(mapping));

This has changed by commit aa4d861 ("block: loop: switch to VFS
ITER_BVEC").

This patch changes mpage_readpage{s} to follow gfp mask set for the
mapping.  There are, however, other places which are doing basically the
same.

lustre:ll_dir_filler is doing GFP_KERNEL from the function which
apparently uses GFP_NOFS for other allocations so let's make this
consistent.

cifs:readpages_get_pages is called from cifs_readpages and
__cifs_readpages_from_fscache called from the same path obeys mapping
gfp.

ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping is hardcoding GFP_KERNEL as well
regardless it uses mapping_gfp_mask for the page allocation.

ext4_mpage_readpages is the called from the page cache allocation path
same as read_pages and read_cache_pages

As I've noticed in my previous post I cannot say I would be happy about
sprinkling mapping_gfp_mask all over the place and it sounds like we
should drop gfp_mask argument altogether and use it internally in
__add_to_page_cache_locked that would require all the filesystems to use
mapping gfp consistently which I am not sure is the case here.  From a
quick glance it seems that some file system use it all the time while
others are selective.
