Subject: [PATCH 1/3] aio: fix oops because of extra IO control block freeing.
From Leonid Ananiev
The patch fixes oops because of extra IO control block freeing.
IO is retried if page could not be invalidated.
Signed-off-by: Leonid Ananiev <leonid.i.ananiev@...el.com>
The patch fixes oops "Kernel BUG at fs/aio.c:509" archived at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/8/337
The number of IO control block (iocb)users < 0.
If page could not be invalidated by invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
than EIO is returned. It happens if journal_try_to_free_buffers() fails
to drop_buffers().
This EIO is not differing from real IO competition with EIO and
aio_complete() is called.
Later aio_complete() is called from dio_bio_end_aio() and frees iocb
once more.
After patch generic_file_direct_IO() sets PgBusy flag in iocb
if page could not be invalidated. iocb is retried after IO competition.
The process is waked up if IO is SYNC else iocb is kicked.
The lines “if (ret != -EIOCBRETRY)” is deleted because
nothing set to EIOCBRETRY.
Next patches 2/3 and 3/3 do cleanup only.
The patch is applied and tested with aio-stress on 2.6.20 and 2.6.21-rc2
