bcache: fix for gc and write-back race
gc and write-back get raced (see the email "bcache get stucked" I sended before): gc thread write-back thread | |bch_writeback_thread() |bch_gc_thread() | | |==>read_dirty() |==>bch_btree_gc() | |==>btree_root() //get btree root | | //node write locker | |==>bch_btree_gc_root() | | |==>read_dirty_submit() | |==>write_dirty() | |==>continue_at(cl, | | write_dirty_finish, | | system_wq); | |==>write_dirty_finish()//excute | | //in system_wq | |==>bch_btree_insert() | |==>bch_btree_map_leaf_nodes() | |==>__bch_btree_map_nodes() | |==>btree_root //try to get btree | | //root node read | | //lock | |-----stuck here |==>bch_btree_set_root() |==>bch_journal_meta() |==>bch_journal() |==>journal_try_write() |==>journal_write_unlocked() //journal_full(&c->journal) | //condition satisfied |==>continue_at(cl, journal_write, system_wq); //try to excute | //journal_write in system_wq | //but work queue is excuting | //write_dirty_finish() |==>closure_sync(); //wait journal_write execute | //over and wake up gc, |-------------stuck here |==>release root node write locker This patch alloc a separate work-queue for write-back thread to avoid such race.
