Subject: [PATCH v2] blk-cgroup: Use cond_resched() when destroy blkgs
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2021 11:22:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8e8a0c4644d5eb01b7f79ec9b67c2b240f4a6434.1611798287.git.baolin.wang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

On !PREEMPT kernel, we can get below softlockup when doing stress
testing with creating and destroying block cgroup repeatly. The
reason is it may take a long time to acquire the queue's lock in
the loop of blkcg_destroy_blkgs(), or the system can accumulate a
huge number of blkgs in pathological cases. We can add a need_resched()
check on each loop and release locks and do cond_resched() if true
to avoid this issue, since the blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is not called
from atomic contexts.

[ 4757.010308] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#11 stuck for 94s!

Changes from v1:
 - Add might_sleep() in blkcg_destroy_blkgs().
 - Add an explicitly need_resched() check before releasing lock.
 - Add some comments.
