jbd2的死锁分析
已经运行多年的jbd2，它还是死锁了
背景：这个是在centos7的环境上复现的，内核版本为3.10.0-957.27.2.el7
下面列一下我们是怎么排查并解这个问题的。
一、故障现象
oppo云内核团队接到运维兄弟收集的测试环境一例crash,
现象是load很高,卡得没法操作：
KERNEL: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64/vmlinux
DUMPFILE: vmcore [PARTIAL DUMP]
CPUS: 40

LOAD AVERAGE: 72886.67, 72873.82, 72735.93
我们授权后登陆oppo云宿主，查看最早报hung的日志如下：

二、故障现象分析
既然最早报hung的进程为jbd2/dm-12-8:547025，那就需要先看下该进程的堆栈，
crash> bt 547025
PID: 547025 TASK: ffff91792aff1040 CPU: 16 COMMAND: "jbd2/dm-12-8"
#0 [ffff91a907247b68] __schedule at ffffffff8a769a72
#1 [ffff91a907247bf8] schedule_preempt_disabled at ffffffff8a76ae39
#2 [ffff91a907247c08] __mutex_lock_slowpath at ffffffff8a768db7

#4 [ffff91a907247c78] jbd2_update_log_tail at ffffffffc03f17b8 [jbd2]

#6 [ffff91a907247e48] kjournald2 at ffffffffc03efe89 [jbd2]
#7 [ffff91a907247ec8] kthread at ffffffff8a0c2e81
#8 [ffff91a907247f50] ret_from_fork_nospec_begin at ffffffff8a776c1d
crash> ps -m 547025
[ 2 19:52:41.384] [UN] PID: 547025 TASK: ffff91792aff1040 CPU: 16 COMMAND: "jbd2/dm-12-8"
从上面ps -m的打印看，该进程最后一次调度的时间是67时52分之前，也就是[ 2 19:52:41.384]：
按照当前的时间点减去报hung的时间点，说明这个进程报hung之后，没有再经历调度。
下面就需要看，这个进程卡在什么地方,代码如下
void jbd2_update_log_tail(journal_t *journal, tid_t tid, unsigned long block)
{
mutex_lock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);//caq:这里需要拿锁
if (tid_gt(tid, journal->j_tail_sequence))
__jbd2_update_log_tail(journal, tid, block);
mutex_unlock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);
}
从堆栈和代码可以确定，是在等待 journal->j_checkpoint_mutex。
然后看mutex放在栈里的位置：
crash> dis -l jbd2_update_log_tail |grep mutex_lock
0xffffffffc03f17b3 <jbd2_update_log_tail+35>: callq 0xffffffff8a768180 <mutex_lock>
crash> dis -l jbd2_update_log_tail |grep mutex_lock -B 10
0xffffffffc03f1796 <jbd2_update_log_tail+6>: mov %rsp,%rbp
0xffffffffc03f1799 <jbd2_update_log_tail+9>: push %r14
0xffffffffc03f179b <jbd2_update_log_tail+11>: mov %rdx,%r14
0xffffffffc03f179e <jbd2_update_log_tail+14>: push %r13
0xffffffffc03f17a0 <jbd2_update_log_tail+16>: mov %esi,%r13d
0xffffffffc03f17a3 <jbd2_update_log_tail+19>: push %r12
0xffffffffc03f17a5 <jbd2_update_log_tail+21>: lea 0xf0(%rdi),%r12
0xffffffffc03f17ac <jbd2_update_log_tail+28>: push %rbx
0xffffffffc03f17ad <jbd2_update_log_tail+29>: mov %rdi,%rbx
0xffffffffc03f17b0 <jbd2_update_log_tail+32>: mov %r12,%rdi---x86的arch，说明是r12是第一个入参
0xffffffffc03f17b3 <jbd2_update_log_tail+35>: callq 0xffffffff8a768180 <mutex_lock>
然后看mutex_lock里面，并没有人动r12寄存器，
dis -l mutex_lock|grep r12 ---没有输出，说明这个函数里面没有人动r12
再往下面调用链看：
crash> dis -l __mutex_lock_slowpath |head -12
/usr/src/debug/kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7/linux-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64/kernel/mutex.c: 771
0xffffffff8a768cf0 <__mutex_lock_slowpath>: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) [FTRACE NOP]
0xffffffff8a768cf5 <__mutex_lock_slowpath+5>: push %rbp
0xffffffff8a768cf6 <__mutex_lock_slowpath+6>: mov %rsp,%rbp

/usr/src/debug/kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7/linux-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64/arch/x86/include/asm/current.h: 14
0xffffffff8a768cff <__mutex_lock_slowpath+15>: mov %gs:0x10e80,%r13
/usr/src/debug/kernel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7/linux-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64/kernel/mutex.c: 771
0xffffffff8a768d08 <__mutex_lock_slowpath+24>: push %r12----r12在此被压栈，从这取mutex就行
0xffffffff8a768d0a <__mutex_lock_slowpath+26>: push %rbx
根据上面分析，从栈中取得mutex如下：
crash> struct mutex ffff91793cbbe0f0----从栈中取的mutex
struct mutex {----从源码的上下文看，这个其实就是journal_t.j_checkpoint_mutex
count = {
counter = -9
},
wait_lock = {
{
rlock = {
raw_lock = {
val = {
counter = 0
}
}
}
}
},
wait_list = {
next = 0xffff91a907247c10,
prev = 0xffff91612cb139c0
},
owner = 0xffff9178e0ad1040, ----对应的owner
{
osq = {
tail = {
counter = 0
}
},
__UNIQUE_ID_rh_kabi_hide1 = {
spin_mlock = 0x0
},
{<No data fields>}
}
}
下面，就需要根据mutex的owner，看一下对应的进程为什么持有锁之后，长时间不放锁了。

13027也在等待，处于UN状态，它的最后一次调度时间为：
crash> ps -m 13027
[ 2 19:52:46.519] [UN] PID: 13027 TASK: ffff9178e0ad1040 CPU: 10 COMMAND: "java"
对比一下报hung的jbd2进程：
crash> ps -m 547025
[ 2 19:52:41.384] [UN] PID: 547025 TASK: ffff91792aff1040 CPU: 16 COMMAND: "jbd2/dm-12-8"
我们发现，其实13027处于UN的时间应该比547025还要多5秒，为啥不是它触发了hung的检测呢？这个问题留在后面
解释。
下面，我们就需要继续分析 13027 为什么持有journal_t.j_checkpoint_mutex锁却没有及时释放。
从代码分析 __jbd2_log_wait_for_space
void __jbd2_log_wait_for_space(journal_t *journal)
{
......
while (jbd2_log_space_left(journal) < nblocks) {//caq：空间不够

mutex_lock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);
/*

*/
write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
if (journal->j_flags & JBD2_ABORT) {
mutex_unlock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);
return;
}
spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock);
nblocks = jbd2_space_needed(journal);
space_left = jbd2_log_space_left(journal);//caq:再次获取一次数据
if (space_left < nblocks) {//caq:空间还是不够
int chkpt = journal->j_checkpoint_transactions != NULL;
tid_t tid = 0;
if (journal->j_committing_transaction)
tid = journal->j_committing_transaction->t_tid;
spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
if (chkpt) {
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(journal);//caq:此时持有 j_checkpoint_mutex
......
}
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space在持有 j_checkpoint_mutex的情况下，进入
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint并在等待log提交，等待完成的条件是当前提交的
tid必须要不大于 j_commit_sequence。
int jbd2_log_wait_commit(journal_t *journal, tid_t tid)
{
int err = 0;
read_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
#ifdef CONFIG_JBD2_DEBUG
if (!tid_geq(journal->j_commit_request, tid)) {
printk(KERN_ERR
"%s: error: j_commit_request=%d, tid=%d\n",
__func__, journal->j_commit_request, tid);
}
#endif
while (tid_gt(tid, journal->j_commit_sequence)) {---只要当前tid大于j_commit_sequence
jbd_debug(1, "JBD2: want %d, j_commit_sequence=%d\n",

read_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
wake_up(&journal->j_wait_commit);

read_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
}
read_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
if (unlikely(is_journal_aborted(journal)))
err = -EIO;
return err;
}
根据栈中的详细数据：

当前的tid值，可以从栈中取出为：
查看当前tid为：

$2 = 1863957481
crash> journal_t.j_commit_sequence ffff91793cbbe000
j_commit_sequence = 1863957480
熟悉jbd2代码的同学到此肯定能看出问题来了，因为要想j_commit_sequence 不停地增长并完成，得交给
对应设备的jbd2进程，而刚好，它又在等待我们的13027 持有的 j_checkpoint_mutex，两者明显死锁了。
三、故障复现&修复
1.__jbd2_log_wait_for_space调用 jbd2_log_wait_commit 的两个分支，
一个是jbd2_log_do_checkpoint-->__process_buffer-->jbd2_log_wait_commit,
在这个分支是持有j_checkpoint_mutex的，
而在另外一个分支：
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint-->jbd2_log_wait_commit，是先释放了j_checkpoint_mutex再进入的
jbd2_log_wait_commit。
void __jbd2_log_wait_for_space(journal_t *journal)
{
int nblocks, space_left;
/* assert_spin_locked(&journal->j_state_lock); */
nblocks = jbd2_space_needed(journal);
while (jbd2_log_space_left(journal) < nblocks) {//caq：空间不够
write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
mutex_lock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);---持有锁
/*
* Test again, another process may have checkpointed while we
* were waiting for the checkpoint lock. If there are no
* transactions ready to be checkpointed, try to recover
* journal space by calling cleanup_journal_tail(), and if
* that doesn't work, by waiting for the currently committing
* transaction to complete. If there is absolutely no way
* to make progress, this is either a BUG or corrupted
* filesystem, so abort the journal and leave a stack
* trace for forensic evidence.
*/
write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
if (journal->j_flags & JBD2_ABORT) {
mutex_unlock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);
return;
}
spin_lock(&journal->j_list_lock);
nblocks = jbd2_space_needed(journal);
space_left = jbd2_log_space_left(journal);//caq:再次获取一次数据
if (space_left < nblocks) {//caq:空间还是不够
int chkpt = journal->j_checkpoint_transactions != NULL;
tid_t tid = 0;
if (journal->j_committing_transaction)
tid = journal->j_committing_transaction->t_tid;
spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
write_unlock(&journal->j_state_lock);
if (chkpt) {----这个分支，持有j_checkpoint_mutex
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(journal);//caq:注意此时持有 j_checkpoint_mutex
} else if (jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail(journal) == 0) {
/* We were able to recover space; yay! */
;
} else if (tid) {---而这个分支，同样是可能会调用 jbd2_log_wait_commit，正常释放了锁
/*
* jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() may want
* to take the checkpoint_mutex if JBD2_FLUSHED
* is set. So we need to temporarily drop it.
*/
mutex_unlock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);//caq:这个分支在此释放了锁
jbd2_log_wait_commit(journal, tid);
write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
continue;
} else {
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: needed %d blocks and "
"only had %d space available\n",
__func__, nblocks, space_left);
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: no way to get more "
"journal space in %s\n", __func__,
journal->j_devname);
WARN_ON(1);
jbd2_journal_abort(journal, 0);
}
write_lock(&journal->j_state_lock);
} else {
spin_unlock(&journal->j_list_lock);
}
mutex_unlock(&journal->j_checkpoint_mutex);
}
}
而在linux主线中，有一个14年的补丁其实是去掉了__process_buffer中复杂的持锁流程的。

commit be1158cc615fd723552f0d9912087423c7cadda5
Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Date: Mon Sep 1 21:19:01 2014 -0400
jbd2: fold __process_buffer() into jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
__process_buffer() is only called by jbd2_log_do_checkpoint(), and it
had a very complex locking protocol where it would be called with the
j_list_lock, and sometimes exit with the lock held (if the return code
was 0), or release the lock.
This was confusing both to humans and to smatch (which erronously
complained that the lock was taken twice).
Folding __process_buffer() to the caller allows us to simplify the
control flow, making the resulting function easier to read and reason
about, and dropping the compiled size of fs/jbd2/checkpoint.c by 150

那是不是说，把__process_buffer重构成上面补丁这样就可以了呢？
其实不是的，重构并没有改变拿锁的逻辑，真正修改的话，需要参照下面
这个补丁。

jbd2: fix deadlock while checkpoint thread waits commit thread to finish
This issue was found when I tried to put checkpoint work in a separate thread,
the deadlock below happened:
Thread1 | Thread2
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space |
jbd2_log_do_checkpoint (hold j_checkpoint_mutex)|
if (jh->b_transaction != NULL) |
... |
jbd2_log_start_commit(journal, tid); |jbd2_update_log_tail
| will lock j_checkpoint_mutex,
| but will be blocked here.
|
jbd2_log_wait_commit(journal, tid); |
wait_event(journal->j_wait_done_commit, |
!tid_gt(tid, journal->j_commit_sequence)); |
... |wake_up(j_wait_done_commit)
} |
then deadlock occurs, Thread1 will never be waken up.
To fix this issue, drop j_checkpoint_mutex in jbd2_log_do_checkpoint()
when we are going to wait for transaction commit.
回到上面遗留的小问题，为什么jbd2/dm-12-8:547025的最后调度时间比 13027 要晚，
但是它却先报出hung呢？这个需要看 khungtaskd的检测机制有关，可以查看
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks的源码，具体跟task的串接位置相关，
同时跟当时处于UN状态的进程数也有些关系。
四、故障规避或解决
我们的解决方案是：
1.在红帽的当前3.10.0-957.27.2内核中合入对应的补丁，或者偷懒直接升级到kernel-3.10.0-1127.el7及以上。
