AIO ring page migration has been implemented by the following patch:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/fs/aio.c?id=36bc08cc01709b4a9bb563b35aa530241ddc63e3
In this patch, ctx->completion_lock is used to prevent other processes
from accessing the ring page being migrated.
But in aio_setup_ring(), ioctx_add_table() and aio_read_events_ring(),
when writing to the ring page, they didn't take ctx->completion_lock.
As a result, for example, we have the following problem:
thread 1 | thread 2
|
aio_migratepage() |
|-> take ctx->completion_lock |
|-> migrate_page_copy(new, old) |
| *NOW*, ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old |
|
| *NOW*,
ctx->ring_pages[idx] == old
| aio_read_events_ring()
| |-> ring =
kmap_atomic(ctx->ring_pages[0])
| |-> ring->head = head;
*HERE, write to the old ring page*
| |-> kunmap_atomic(ring);
|
|-> ctx->ring_pages[idx] = new |
| *BUT NOW*, the content of |
| ring_pages[idx] is old. |
|-> release ctx->completion_lock |
As above, the new ring page will not be updated.
The solution is taking ctx->completion_lock in thread 2, which means,
in aio_setup_ring(), ioctx_add_table() and aio_read_events_ring() when
writing to ring pages.
v2:
Use spin_lock_irq rather than spin_lock_irqsave as Jeff suggested.
