Under specific circumstances, kcopyd callback could be called from the thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy not from kcopyd workqueue. dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn() This code path is taken if thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in split_job completes. Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception store and it can also cause that exception store callbacks are called twice for the same exception --- a likely reason for crashes inside pending_complete() / remove_exception(). This patch fixes two problems: 1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above). - Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread. 2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complete reports the error of the last subjob, not the union of all errors. - Fix: pass job->write_err to the callback to report all error bits (it is done already in run_complete_job) Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> --- drivers/md/dm-kcopyd.c | 17 +++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
