Subject: [Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 2/3] dm-ploop: fix pios stuck in md->wait_llist after a failed BAT update
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 20:06:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109190604.1850504-3-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109190604.1850504-1-den@openvz.org>
From: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>
ploop_locate_new_cluster_and_attach_pio() and
ploop_process_one_discard_pio() set MD_UPDATING on the BAT page while
they prepare its update. A pio that needs the page meanwhile is parked
in md->wait_llist by ploop_delay_if_md_busy(), and only
ploop_advance_local_after_bat_wb(), at the end of a writeback of the
page, gives the parked pios back.
When the update fails, the error path breaks it, clears MD_DIRTY and
MD_UPDATING and leaves the parked pios where they are. No writeback of
the page is queued, so they are never resubmitted: the writers hang in
D state, and after a buffered write every later sync on the host hangs
behind them until a reboot. An allocation fails this way when
ploop_prepare_bat_update() runs out of memory, when no free cluster is
left, or when the punch, zero or preallocation of the new cluster in
the top delta fails, e.g. on a write to a read-only device that needs
a new cluster.
Take the parked pios together with clearing MD_UPDATING, under
bat_lock, which every caller of ploop_delay_if_md_busy() holds, and
resubmit them with ploop_dispatch_md_waiters(), as the writeback
completion does. The error paths of ploop_prepare_reloc_index_wb() and
ploop_grow_relocate_cluster() clear MD_UPDATING without a drain too,
but they run with pio submission stopped, so nothing is parked there.
