afs: Make afs_write_begin() avoid writing to a page that's being stored
Make afs_write_begin() wait for a page that's marked PG_writeback because: (1) We need to avoid interference with the data being stored so that the data on the server ends up in a defined state. (2) page->private is used to track the window of dirty data within a page, but it's also used by the storage code to track what's being written, being cleared by the completion notification. Ownership can't be relinquished by the storage code until completion because it a store fails, the data must be remarked dirty. Tracing shows something like the following (edited): x86_64-linux-gn-15940 [1] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 begin 0-125 kworker/u8:3-114 [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 store+ 0-125 x86_64-linux-gn-15940 [1] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 begin 0-2052 kworker/u8:3-114 [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 clear 0-2052 kworker/u8:3-114 [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 store 0-0 kworker/u8:3-114 [2] afs_page_dirty: vn=ffff8800bef33800 9c75 WARN 0-0 The clear (completion) corresponding to the store+ (store continuation from a previous page) happens between the second begin (afs_write_begin) and the store corresponding to that. This results in the second store not seeing any data to write back, leading to the following warning: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 114 at ../fs/afs/write.c:403 afs_write_back_from_locked_page+0x19d/0x76c [kafs] Modules linked in: kafs(E) CPU: 2 PID: 114 Comm: kworker/u8:3 Tainted: G E 4.14.0-fscache+ #242 Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H97-PLUS, BIOS 2306 10/09/2014 Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-afs-2) task: ffff8800cad72600 task.stack: ffff8800cad44000 RIP: 0010:afs_write_back_from_locked_page+0x19d/0x76c [kafs] RSP: 0018:ffff8800cad47aa0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff8800bef33a20 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000000f RSI: ffffffff81c5d0e0 RDI: ffff8800cad72e78 RBP: ffff8800d31ea1e8 R08: ffff8800c1358000 R09: ffff8800ca00e400 R10: ffff8800cad47a38 R11: ffff8800c5d9e400 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffffea0002d9df00 R14: ffffffffa0023c1c R15: 0000000000007fdf FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8800ca700000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f85ac6c4000 CR3: 0000000001c10001 CR4: 00000000001606e0 Call Trace: ? clear_page_dirty_for_io+0x23a/0x267 afs_writepages_region+0x1be/0x286 [kafs] afs_writepages+0x60/0x127 [kafs] do_writepages+0x36/0x70 __writeback_single_inode+0x12f/0x635 writeback_sb_inodes+0x2cc/0x452 __writeback_inodes_wb+0x68/0x9f wb_writeback+0x208/0x470 ? wb_workfn+0x22b/0x565 wb_workfn+0x22b/0x565 ? worker_thread+0x230/0x2ac process_one_work+0x2cc/0x517 ? worker_thread+0x230/0x2ac worker_thread+0x1d4/0x2ac ? rescuer_thread+0x29b/0x29b kthread+0x15d/0x165 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x3f/0x3f ? call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x118/0x11f ret_from_fork+0x24/0x30 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
