This deadlock may manifest itself in slightly different ways but at the core it is caused by a memory allocation blocking on file- system reclaim in the zio pipeline. This is normally impossible because zio_execute() disables filesystem reclaim by setting PF_FSTRANS on the thread. However, kmem cache allocations may still indirectly block on file system reclaim while holding the critical vq->vq_lock as shown below. To resolve this issue zio_buf_alloc_flags() is introduced which allocation flags to be passed. This can then be used in vdev_queue_aggregate() with KM_NOSLEEP when allocating the aggregate IO buffer. Since aggregating the IO is purely a performance optimization we want this to either succeed or fail quickly. Trying too hard to allocate this memory under the vq->vq_lock can negatively impact performance and result in this deadlock. * z_wr_iss zio_vdev_io_start vdev_queue_io -> Takes vq->vq_lock vdev_queue_io_to_issue vdev_queue_aggregate zio_buf_alloc -> Waiting on spl_kmem_cache process * z_wr_int zio_vdev_io_done vdev_queue_io_done mutex_lock -> Waiting on vq->vq_lock held by z_wr_iss * txg_sync spa_sync dsl_pool_sync zio_wait -> Waiting on zio being handled by z_wr_int * spl_kmem_cache spl_cache_grow_work kv_alloc spl_vmalloc ... evict zpl_evict_inode zfs_inactive dmu_tx_wait txg_wait_open -> Waiting on txg_sync Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Chunwei Chen <david.chen@osnexus.com> Signed-off-by: Tim Chase <tim@chase2k.com> Closes #3808 Closes #3867 |
