Subject: [PATCH] percpu: make pcpu_alloc() aware of current gfp context
From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@...e.com>
Since 5.7-rc1, on btrfs we have a percpu counter initialization for which
we always pass a GFP_KERNEL gfp_t argument (this happens since commit
2992df73268f78 ("btrfs: Implement DREW lock")). That is safe in some
contextes but not on others where allowing fs reclaim could lead to a
deadlock because we are either holding some btrfs lock needed for a
transaction commit or holding a btrfs transaction handle open. Because
of that we surround the call to the function that initializes the percpu
counter with a NOFS context using memalloc_nofs_save() (this is done at
btrfs_init_fs_root()).
However it turns out that this is not enough to prevent a possible
deadlock because percpu_alloc() determines if it is in an atomic context
by looking exclusively at the gfp flags passed to it (GFP_KERNEL in this
case) and it is not aware that a NOFS context is set. Because it thinks
it is in a non atomic context it locks the pcpu_alloc_mutex, which can
result in a btrfs deadlock when pcpu_balance_workfn() is running, has
acquired that mutex and is waiting for reclaim, while the btrfs task that
called percpu_counter_init() (and therefore percpu_alloc()) is holding
either the btrfs commit_root semaphore or a transaction handle (done at
fs/btrfs/backref.c:iterate_extent_inodes()), which prevents reclaim from
finishing as an attempt to commit the current btrfs transaction will
deadlock.

This could be fixed by making btrfs pass GFP_NOFS instead of GFP_KERNEL to
percpu_counter_init() in contextes where it is not reclaim safe, however
that type of approach is discouraged since memalloc_[nofs|noio]_save()
were introduced. Therefore this change makes pcpu_alloc() look up into
an existing nofs/noio context before deciding whether it is in an atomic
context or not.
