[PATCH 5.15 174/917] io-wq: serialize hash clear with wakeup

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Nov 15 2021 - 18:31:57 EST


From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d3e3c102d107bb84251455a298cf475f24bab995 upstream.

We need to ensure that we serialize the stalled and hash bits with the
wait_queue wait handler, or we could be racing with someone modifying
the hashed state after we find it busy, but before we then give up and
wait for it to be cleared. This can cause random delays or stalls when
handling buffered writes for many files, where some of these files cause
hash collisions between the worker threads.
