From 5363ee9d110e139584c2d92a0b640bc210588506 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2025 16:35:39 -0500 Subject: scsi: core: Use GFP_NOIO to avoid circular locking dependency MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Filesystems can write to disk from page reclaim with __GFP_FS set. Marc found a case where scsi_realloc_sdev_budget_map() ends up in page reclaim with GFP_KERNEL, where it could try to take filesystem locks again, leading to a deadlock. WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.13.0 #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/70 is trying to acquire lock: ffff8881025d5d78 (&q->q_usage_counter(io)){++++}-{0:0}, at: blk_mq_submit_bio+0x461/0x6e0 but task is already holding lock: ffffffff81ef5f40 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: balance_pgdat+0x9f/0x760 The full lockdep splat can be found in Marc's report: https://lkml.org/lkml/2025/1/24/1101 Avoid the potential deadlock by doing the allocation with GFP_NOIO, which prevents both filesystem and block layer recursion.
