Hello Mauricio, or anyone else affected, Accepted zfs-linux into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs- linux/0.6.5.6-0ubuntu28 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: zfs-linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1839521 Title: Xenial: ZFS deadlock in shrinker path with xattrs Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in zfs-linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in zfs-linux source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in linux source package in Disco: Invalid Status in zfs-linux source package in Disco: Invalid Status in linux source package in Eoan: Invalid Status in zfs-linux source package in Eoan: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] * Xenial's ZFS can deadlock in the memory shrinker path after removing files with extended attributes (xattr). * Extended attributes are enabled by default, but are _not_ used by default, which reduces the likelyhood. * It's very difficult/rare to reproduce this problem, due to file/xattr/remove/shrinker/lru order/timing circumstances required. (weeks for a reporter user) but a synthetic test-case has been found for tests. [Test Case] * A synthetic reproducer is available for this LP, with a few steps to touch/setfattr/rm/drop_caches plus a kernel module to massage the disposal list. (comment #8) * In the original ZFS module: the xattr dir inode is not purged immediately on file removal, but possibly purged _two_ shrinker invocations later. This allows for other thread started before file remove to call zfs_zget() on the xattr child inode and iput() it, so it makes to the same disposal list as the xattr dir inode. (comment #3) * In the modified ZFS module: the xattr dir inode is purged immediately on file removal not possibly later on shrinker invocation, so the problem window above doesn't exist anymore. (comment #12) [Regression Potential] * Low. The patches are confined to extended attributes in ZFS, specifically node removal/purge, and another change how an xattr child inode tracks its xattr dir (parent) inode, so that it can be purged immediately on removal. * The ZFS test-suite has been run on original/modified zfs-dkms package/kernel modules, with no regressions.
