commitcdea5459ceupstream. The code in xlog_wait uses the spinlock to make adding the task to the wait queue, and setting the task state to UNINTERRUPTIBLE atomic with respect to the waker. Doing the wakeup after releasing the spinlock opens up the following race condition: Task 1 task 2 add task to wait queue wake up task set task state to UNINTERRUPTIBLE This issue was found through code inspection as a result of kworkers being observed stuck in UNINTERRUPTIBLE state with an empty wait queue. It is rare and largely unreproducable. Simply moving the spin_unlock to after the wake_up_all results in the waker not being able to see a task on the waitqueue before it has set its state to UNINTERRUPTIBLE. This bug dates back to the conversion of this code to generic waitqueue infrastructure from a counting semaphore back in 2008 which didn't place the wakeups consistently w.r.t. to the relevant spin locks. [dchinner: Also fix a similar issue in the shutdown path on xc_commit_wait. Update commit log with more details of the issue.] Fixes:d748c62367("[XFS] Convert l_flushsema to a sv_t") Reported-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
