Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: make gc_wake test-and-clear atomic
Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 11:50:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260516035001.272335-1-ziyuzhang201@gmail.com> (raw)
gc_thread_func() tests gc_th->gc_wake and then clears it with
separate plain accesses. sysfs gc_urgent writes set the same flag and
wake the GC thread. If a sysfs writer stores true between the GC
thread's load and store, the later store false can clear the new wake
request.
Store gc_wake as an atomic_t. Use atomic_read() for the wait
condition, atomic_xchg(..., 0) in the GC thread, and atomic_set(..., 1)
in the sysfs trigger paths. This makes the consume-and-clear operation
atomic with respect to new wake requests: a set before the exchange is
consumed by the current iteration, while a set after the exchange stays
pending for the next wait.
Fixes: d9872a698c39 ("f2fs: introduce gc_urgent mode for background GC")
