Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:21:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <010701a134feb2d8-a53316d6-d08f-4ac0-b38c-d9a3e016035a-000000@eu-central-1.amazonses.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013111604.142989-3-alexander.ivanov@virtuozzo.com>

> ploop_allocator() checks prealloc_size and kthread_should_stop() before
> setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. If ploop_req_prealloc() sets prealloc_size
> and calls wake_up_process() in between, the wakeup finds the task
> running and is lost, so the allocator goes to sleep with a pending
> preallocation request. Later requests for the same size return early
> without waking it up, so the request may stay pending forever and
> waiters on dispatcher_wq_prealloc hang. The same applies to
> kthread_stop().
> 
> Set the task state before checking the conditions, as the canonical
> kthread loop does. set_current_state() implies a full barrier, which
> pairs with the one in try_to_wake_up().

> https://virtuozzo.atlassian.net/browse/VSTOR-148171
> Feature: dm-ploop: ploop target driver
