Subject: [PATCH 4.12 46/84] fs/dcache.c: fix spin lockup issue on nlru->lock
4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sahitya Tummala <stummala@...eaurora.org>
commit b17c070fb624cf10162cf92ea5e1ec25cd8ac176 upstream.
__list_lru_walk_one() acquires nlru spin lock (nlru->lock) for longer
duration if there are more number of items in the lru list. As per the
current code, it can hold the spin lock for upto maximum UINT_MAX
entries at a time. So if there are more number of items in the lru
list, then "BUG: spinlock lockup suspected" is observed in the below
path:
spin_bug+0x90
do_raw_spin_lock+0xfc
_raw_spin_lock+0x28
list_lru_add+0x28
dput+0x1c8
path_put+0x20
terminate_walk+0x3c
path_lookupat+0x100
filename_lookup+0x6c
user_path_at_empty+0x54
SyS_faccessat+0xd0
el0_svc_naked+0x24
This nlru->lock is acquired by another CPU in this path -
d_lru_shrink_move+0x34
dentry_lru_isolate_shrink+0x48
__list_lru_walk_one.isra.10+0x94
list_lru_walk_node+0x40
shrink_dcache_sb+0x60
do_remount_sb+0xbc
do_emergency_remount+0xb0
process_one_work+0x228
worker_thread+0x2e0
kthread+0xf4
ret_from_fork+0x10
Fix this lockup by reducing the number of entries to be shrinked from
the lru list to 1024 at once. Also, add cond_resched() before
processing the lru list again.
