[ Upstream commit d919a1e79bac890421537cf02ae773007bf55e6b ]
Commit 7bc3e6e55acf06 ("proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc")
moved proc_flush_task() behind __exit_signal(). Then, process systemd can
take long period high cpu usage during releasing task in following
concurrent processes:
systemd ps
kernel_waitid stat(/proc/tgid)
do_wait filename_lookup
wait_consider_task lookup_fast
release_task
__exit_signal
__unhash_process
detach_pid
__change_pid // remove task->pid_links
d_revalidate -> pid_revalidate // 0
d_invalidate(/proc/tgid)
shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid)
d_walk(/proc/tgid)
spin_lock_nested(/proc/tgid/fd)
// iterating opened fd
proc_flush_pid |
d_invalidate (/proc/tgid/fd) |
shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid/fd) |
shrink_dentry_list(subdirs) ↓
shrink_lock_dentry(/proc/tgid/fd) --> race on dentry lock
Function d_invalidate() will remove dentry from hash firstly, but why does
proc_flush_pid() process dentry '/proc/tgid/fd' before dentry
'/proc/tgid'? That's because proc_pid_make_inode() adds proc inode in
reverse order by invoking hlist_add_head_rcu(). But proc should not add
any inodes under '/proc/tgid' except '/proc/tgid/task/pid', fix it by
adding inode into 'pid->inodes' only if the inode is /proc/tgid or
/proc/tgid/task/pid.
Performance regression:
Create 200 tasks, each task open one file for 50,000 times. Kill all
tasks when opened files exceed 10,000,000 (cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr).
Before fix:
$ time killall -wq aa
real 4m40.946s # During this period, we can see 'ps' and 'systemd'
taking high cpu usage.
After fix:
$ time killall -wq aa
real 1m20.732s # During this period, we can see 'systemd' taking
high cpu usage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
