It would also be worth noting in the description that this addresses issues with dm and drbd as well as md. In fact, I think that with this patch in place, much of the need for the rescue_workqueue won't exist any more. I cannot promise it can be removed completely, but it should be to hard to make it optional and only enabled for those few block devices that will still need it. The rescuer should only be needed for a bioset which can be allocated From twice in the one call the ->make_request_fn. This would include raid0 for example, though raid0_make_reqest could be re-written to not use a loop and to just call generic_make_request(bio) if bio != split.

I never saw this patch but certainly like the relative simplicity of the solution when compared with other approaches taken, e.g. (5 topmost commits on this branch): http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/snitzer/linux.git/log/?h=wip > In fact, I think that with this patch in place, much of the need for the > rescue_workqueue won't exist any more.

Mikulas, would you be willing to try the below patch with the dm-snapshot deadlock scenario and report back on whether it fixes that? Patch below looks to be the same as here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=148232453107685&q=p3 Neil and/or others if that isn't the patch that should be tested please provide a pointer to the latest.

I created a test program for the snapshot deadlock bug (it was originally created years ago to test for a different bug, so it contains some cruft). You also need to insert "if (ci->sector_count) msleep(100);" to the end of __split_and_process_non_flush to make the kernel sleep when splitting the bio. And with the above above patch, the snapshot deadlock bug still happens.

From 69a4829a55503e496ce9c730d2c8e3dd8a08874a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 16:55:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block: fix deadlock between freeze_array() and wait_barrier() When we call wait_barrier, we might have some bios waiting in current->bio_list, which prevents the array_freeze call to complete. Those can only be internal READs, which have already passed the wait_barrier call (thus incrementing nr_pending), but still were not submitted to the lower level, due to generic_make_request logic to avoid recursive calls. In such case, we have a deadlock: - array_frozen is already set to 1, so wait_barrier unconditionally waits, so - internal READ bios will not be submitted, thus freeze_array will never completes. To fix this, modify generic_make_request to always sort bio_list_on_stack first with lowest level, then higher, until same level.
