Message-ID: <53CE881B.3070402@adfin.com> Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2014 11:49:47 -0400 From: Milosz Tanski <milosz@...in.com> To: linux-cachefs@...hat.com CC: linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, "David Howells" <dhowells@...hat.com>, "NeilBrown" <neilb@...e.de>, "Shantanu Goel" <sgoel01@...oo.com> Subject: [PATCH 0/3] FS-Cache: Bug fixes for bugs that happen under vma pressure FS-Cache has a few bugs generally only get tried in error mode / under VMA preassure. The problem is exhasterbated when majority of the IO is cacheable netfs IO. At that point there are few pages that are evictalbe due to GPF_NOFS allocation strategies. The first bug is a recursive hang caused by fscache write out to ext4 which in turn needs to allocate pages and ends up calling releasepages() on the netfs. The second two bugs are cookie ref count bugs that happen when in the error cases (mostly from related memory alloc failures). Milosz Tanski (3): FS-Cache: Timeout for releasepage() FS-Cache: Reduce cookie ref count if submit fails. FS-Cache: refcount becomes corrupt under vma pressure. fs/fscache/object.c | 4 ++++ fs/fscache/page.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
