dm thin: fix issue_discard to pass GFP_NOIO to __blkdev_issue_discard

2023-06-21T14:02:10Z

commit 722d90822321497e2837cfc9000202e256e6b32f upstream. issue_discard() passes GFP_NOWAIT to __blkdev_issue_discard() despite its code assuming bio_alloc() always succeeds. Commit 3dba53a958a75 ("dm thin: use __blkdev_issue_discard for async discard support") clearly shows where things went bad: Before commit 3dba53a958a75, dm-thin.c's open-coded __blkdev_issue_discard_async() properly handled using GFP_NOWAIT. Unfortunately __blkdev_issue_discard() doesn't and it was missed during review. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

dm thin: fix deadlock when swapping to thin device

2023-03-06T21:37:06Z

This is an already known issue that dm-thin volume cannot be used as swap, otherwise a deadlock may happen when dm-thin internal memory demand triggers swap I/O on the dm-thin volume itself. But thanks to commit a666e5c05e7c ("dm: fix deadlock when swapping to encrypted device"), the limit_swap_bios target flag can also be used for dm-thin to avoid the recursive I/O when it is used as swap. Fix is to simply set ti->limit_swap_bios to true in both pool_ctr() and thin_ctr(). In my test, I create a dm-thin volume /dev/vg/swap and use it as swap device. Then I run fio on another dm-thin volume /dev/vg/main and use large --blocksize to trigger swap I/O onto /dev/vg/swap. The following fio command line is used in my test, fio --name recursive-swap-io --lockmem 1 --iodepth 128 \ --ioengine libaio --filename /dev/vg/main --rw randrw \ --blocksize 1M --numjobs 32 --time_based --runtime=12h Without this fix, the whole system can be locked up within 15 seconds. With this fix, there is no any deadlock or hung task observed after 2 hours of running fio. Furthermore, if blocksize is changed from 1M to 128M, after around 30 seconds fio has no visible I/O, and the out-of-memory killer message shows up in kernel message. After around 20 minutes all fio processes are killed and the whole system is back to being alive. This is exactly what is expected when recursive I/O happens on dm-thin volume when it is used as swap.
