dm cache: fix concurrent write failure in passthrough mode
[ Upstream commit e4f6634 ]
When bio prison cell lock acquisition fails due to concurrent writes to
the same block in passthrough mode, dm-cache incorrectly returns an I/O
error instead of properly handling the concurrency. This can occur in
both process and workqueue contexts when invalidate_lock() is called for
exclusive access to a data block. Fix this by deferring the write bios
to ensure proper block device behavior.
Reproduce steps:
1. Create a cache device
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 262144 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 262144 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
2. Promote the first data block into cache
fio --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --name=populate --rw=write --bs=4k \
--direct=1 --size=64k
3. Reload the cache into passthrough mode
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup reload cache --table "0 262144 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 passthrough smq 0"
dmsetup resume cache
4. Write to the first cached block concurrently. Sometimes one of the
processes will receive I/O errors.
fio --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --name test --rw=randwrite --bs=4k \
--randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --numjobs=2 --size 64k
