From da415a096fc06e49d1a15f7a06bcfe6ad44c5d38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Swenson Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 16:03:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bcache: Fix moving_gc deadlocking with a foreground write Deadlock happened because a foreground write slept, waiting for a bucket to be allocated. Normally the gc would mark buckets available for invalidation. But the moving_gc was stuck waiting for outstanding writes to complete. These writes used the bcache_wq, the same queue foreground writes used. This fix gives moving_gc its own work queue, so it was still finish moving even if foreground writes are stuck waiting for allocation. It also makes work queue a parameter to the data_insert path, so moving_gc can use its workqueue for writes.
