[ Upstream commit 2254a7396a0ca6309854948ee1c0a33fa4268cec ]
syzbot reported this warning from the faux inodegc shrinker that tries
to kick off inodegc work:
------------[ cut here ]------------

This warning corresponds to this code in __queue_work:
/*
* For a draining wq, only works from the same workqueue are
* allowed. The __WQ_DESTROYING helps to spot the issue that
* queues a new work item to a wq after destroy_workqueue(wq).
*/
if (unlikely(wq->flags & (__WQ_DESTROYING | __WQ_DRAINING) &&
WARN_ON_ONCE(!is_chained_work(wq))))
return;
For this to trip, we must have a thread draining the inodedgc workqueue
and a second thread trying to queue inodegc work to that workqueue.
This can happen if freezing or a ro remount race with reclaim poking our
faux inodegc shrinker and another thread dropping an unlinked O_RDONLY
file:
Thread 0 Thread 1 Thread 2
xfs_inodegc_stop
xfs_inodegc_shrinker_scan
xfs_is_inodegc_enabled
<yes, will continue>
xfs_clear_inodegc_enabled
xfs_inodegc_queue_all
<list empty, do not queue inodegc worker>
xfs_inodegc_queue
<add to list>
xfs_is_inodegc_enabled
<no, returns>
drain_workqueue
<set WQ_DRAINING>
llist_empty
<no, will queue list>
mod_delayed_work_on(..., 0)
__queue_work
<sees WQ_DRAINING, kaboom>
In other words, everything between the access to inodegc_enabled state
and the decision to poke the inodegc workqueue requires some kind of
coordination to avoid the WQ_DRAINING state. We could perhaps introduce
a lock here, but we could also try to eliminate WQ_DRAINING from the
picture.
We could replace the drain_workqueue call with a loop that flushes the
workqueue and queues workers as long as there is at least one inode
present in the per-cpu inodegc llists. We've disabled inodegc at this
point, so we know that the number of queued inodes will eventually hit
zero as long as xfs_inodegc_start cannot reactivate the workers.
There are four callers of xfs_inodegc_start. Three of them come from the
VFS with s_umount held: filesystem thawing, failed filesystem freezing,
and the rw remount transition. The fourth caller is mounting rw (no
remount or freezing possible).
There are three callers ofs xfs_inodegc_stop. One is unmounting (no
remount or thaw possible). Two of them come from the VFS with s_umount
held: fs freezing and ro remount transition.
Hence, it is correct to replace the drain_workqueue call with a loop
that drains the inodegc llists.

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.
