There could be a scenario where f2fs_sync_meta_pages() will not ensure that all F2FS_DIRTY_META pages are submitted for IO. Thus, resulting in the below panic in do_checkpoint() - f2fs_bug_on(sbi, get_pages(sbi, F2FS_DIRTY_META) && !f2fs_cp_error(sbi)); This can happen in a low-memory condition, where shrinker could also be doing the writepage operation (stack shown below) at the same time when checkpoint is running on another core. schedule down_write f2fs_submit_page_write -> by this time, this page in page cache is tagged as PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK and PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY is cleared, due to which f2fs_sync_meta_pages() cannot sync this page in do_checkpoint() path. f2fs_do_write_meta_page __f2fs_write_meta_page f2fs_write_meta_page shrink_page_list shrink_inactive_list shrink_node_memcg shrink_node kswapd Signed-off-by: Sahitya Tummala <stummala@codeaurora.org> Reviewed-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
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.
