Seems that the kswapd0 has the lock in questing and has put itself to
sleep waiting to be woken up. I don't know the xfs code very well, but
the kswapd0 seems to be in this function:
xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait(
xfs_dquot_t *dqp)
{
SPLDECL(s);
ASSERT(XFS_DQ_IS_LOCKED(dqp));
if (dqp->q_pincount == 0) {
return;
}
/*
* Give the log a push so we don't wait here too long.
*/
xfs_log_force(dqp->q_mount, (xfs_lsn_t)0, XFS_LOG_FORCE);
s = XFS_DQ_PINLOCK(dqp);
if (dqp->q_pincount == 0) {
XFS_DQ_PINUNLOCK(dqp, s);
return;
}
sv_wait(&(dqp->q_pinwait), PINOD,
&(XFS_DQ_TO_QINF(dqp)->qi_pinlock), s);
}
Where sv_wait is:
#define sv_wait(sv, pri, lock, s) \
_sv_wait(sv, lock, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT)
And our macro hell goes further ...
static inline void _sv_wait(sv_t *sv, spinlock_t *lock, int state,
unsigned long timeout)
{
DECLARE_WAITQUEUE(wait, current);
add_wait_queue_exclusive(&sv->waiters, &wait);
__set_current_state(state);
spin_unlock(lock);
schedule_timeout(timeout);
remove_wait_queue(&sv->waiters, &wait);
}
So it is now waiting to be woken up by something that calls:
xfs_qm_dquot_logitem_unpin which seems to be the function to wake it
up.
And decyphering all the macro crap it seems that the function that wakes
it up is xfs_trans_chunk_committed, or xfs_trans_uncommit.
The above xfs_qm_dqunpin_wait still looks awfully racy, and the
xfs_log_force, which I'm assuming wakes up whoever is suppose to wake up
kswapd0, doesn't have a return code check. So if it failed to do
whatever the hell it's doing (that code gives me a headache), it looks
like this guy might sleep forever holding a lock that will prevent
others from freeing kernel memory.
Well that's about all I can figure out.
Good luck,
-- Steve
