Subject: [PATCH 5.7 280/477] scsi: iscsi: Fix deadlock on recovery path during GFP_IO reclaim
From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@...labora.com>
[ Upstream commit 7e7cd796f2776d055351d80328f45633bbb0aae5 ]
iSCSI suffers from a deadlock in case a management command submitted via
the netlink socket sleeps on an allocation while holding the rx_queue_mutex
if that allocation causes a memory reclaim that writebacks to a failed
iSCSI device. The recovery procedure can never make progress to recover
the failed disk or abort outstanding IO operations to complete the reclaim
(since rx_queue_mutex is locked), thus locking the system.
Nevertheless, just marking all allocations under rx_queue_mutex as GFP_NOIO
(or locking the userspace process with something like PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO) is
not enough, since the iSCSI command code relies on other subsystems that
try to grab locked mutexes, whose threads are GFP_IO, leading to the same
deadlock. One instance where this situation can be observed is in the
backtraces below, stitched from multiple bugs reports, involving the kobj
uevent sent when a session is created.
The root of the problem is not the fact that iSCSI does GFP_IO allocations,
that is acceptable. The actual problem is that rx_queue_mutex has a very
large granularity, covering every unrelated netlink command execution at
the same time as the error recovery path.
The proposed fix leverages the recently added mechanism to stop failed
connections from the kernel, by enabling it to execute even though a
management command from the netlink socket is being run (rx_queue_mutex is
held), provided that the command is known to be safe. It splits the
rx_queue_mutex in two mutexes, one protecting from concurrent command
execution from the netlink socket, and one protecting stop_conn from racing
with other connection management operations that might conflict with it.
It is not very pretty, but it is the simplest way to resolve the deadlock.
I considered making it a lock per connection, but some external mutex would
still be needed to deal with iscsi_if_destroy_conn.
The patch was tested by forcing a memory shrinker (unrelated, but used
bufio/dm-verity) to reclaim iSCSI pages every time
ISCSI_UEVENT_CREATE_SESSION happens, which is reasonable to simulate
reclaims that might happen with GFP_KERNEL on that path. Then, a faulty
hung target causes a connection to fail during intensive IO, at the same
time a new session is added by iscsid.
The following stacktraces are stiches from several bug reports, showing a
case where the deadlock can happen.
