mm, writeback: flush plugged IO in wakeup_flusher_threads()
I've found funny live-lock between raid10 barriers during resync and memory controller hard limits. Inside mpage_readpages() task holds on to its plug bio which blocks the barrier in raid10. Its memory cgroup have no free memory thus the task goes into reclaimer but all reclaimable pages are dirty and cannot be written because raid10 is rebuilding and stuck on the barrier. Common flush of such IO in schedule() never happens, because the caller doesn't go to sleep. Lock is 'live' because changing memory limit or killing tasks which holds that stuck bio unblock whole progress. That was what happened in 3.18.x but I see no difference in upstream logic. Theoretically this might happen even without memory cgroup. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
