From: Henry Burns henryburns@google.com Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 15:37:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/z3fold.c: fix z3fold_destroy_pool() ordering
The constraint from the zpool use of z3fold_destroy_pool() is there are no outstanding handles to memory (so no active allocations), but it is possible for there to be outstanding work on either of the two wqs in the pool.
If there is work queued on pool->compact_workqueue when it is called, z3fold_destroy_pool() will do:
z3fold_destroy_pool() destroy_workqueue(pool->release_wq) destroy_workqueue(pool->compact_wq) drain_workqueue(pool->compact_wq) do_compact_page(zhdr) kref_put(&zhdr->refcount) __release_z3fold_page(zhdr, ...) queue_work_on(pool->release_wq, &pool->work) *BOOM*
So compact_wq needs to be destroyed before release_wq.
