xfs: don't wait on future iclogs when pushing the CIL
The iclogbuf ring attached to the struct xlog is circular, hence the first and last iclogs in the ring can only be determined by comparing them against the log->l_iclog pointer. In xfs_cil_push_work(), we want to wait on previous iclogs that were issued so that we can flush them to stable storage with the commit record write, and it simply waits on the previous iclog in the ring. This, however, leads to CIL push hangs in generic/019 like so: task:kworker/u33:0 state:D stack:12680 pid: 7 ppid: 2 flags:0x00004000 Workqueue: xfs-cil/pmem1 xlog_cil_push_work Call Trace: __schedule+0x30b/0x9f0 schedule+0x68/0xe0 xlog_wait_on_iclog+0x121/0x190 ? wake_up_q+0xa0/0xa0 xlog_cil_push_work+0x994/0xa10 ? _raw_spin_lock+0x15/0x20 ? xfs_swap_extents+0x920/0x920 process_one_work+0x1ab/0x390 worker_thread+0x56/0x3d0 ? rescuer_thread+0x3c0/0x3c0 kthread+0x14d/0x170 ? __kthread_bind_mask+0x70/0x70 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 With other threads blocking in either xlog_state_get_iclog_space() waiting for iclog space or xlog_grant_head_wait() waiting for log reservation space. The problem here is that the previous iclog on the ring might actually be a future iclog. That is, if log->l_iclog points at commit_iclog, commit_iclog is the first (oldest) iclog in the ring and there are no previous iclogs pending as they have all completed their IO and been activated again. IOWs, commit_iclog->ic_prev points to an iclog that will be written in the future, not one that has been written in the past. Hence, in this case, waiting on the ->ic_prev iclog is incorrect behaviour, and depending on the state of the future iclog, we can end up with a circular ABA wait cycle and we hang. The fix is made more complex by the fact that many iclogs states cannot be used to determine if the iclog is a past or future iclog. Hence we have to determine past iclogs by checking the LSN of the iclog rather than their state. A past ACTIVE iclog will have a LSN of zero, while a future ACTIVE iclog will have a LSN greater than the current iclog. We don't wait on either of these cases. Similarly, a future iclog that hasn't completed IO will have an LSN greater than the current iclog and so we don't wait on them. A past iclog that is still undergoing IO completion will have a LSN less than the current iclog and those are the only iclogs that we need to wait on. Hence we can use the iclog LSN to determine what iclogs we need to wait on here.
