From 87df7fb922d18e96992aa5e824aa34b2065fef59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2021 07:45:47 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] io-wq: fix wakeup race when adding new work When new work is added, io_wqe_enqueue() checks if we need to wake or create a new worker. But that check is done outside the lock that otherwise synchronizes us with a worker going to sleep, so we can end up in the following situation: CPU0 CPU1 lock insert work unlock atomic_read(nr_running) != 0 lock atomic_dec(nr_running) no wakeup needed Hold the wqe lock around the "need to wakeup" check. Then we can also get rid of the temporary work_flags variable, as we know the work will remain valid as long as we hold the lock.
