Subject: [PATCH] fscache: Use only one fscache_object_cong_wait.
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2021 17:30:50 +0200

In the commit mentioned below, fscache was converted from slow-work to
workqueue. slow_work_enqueue() and slow_work_sleep_till_thread_needed()
did not use a per-CPU workqueue. They choose from two global waitqueues
depending on the SLOW_WORK_VERY_SLOW bit which was not set so it always
one waitqueue.

I can't find out how it is ensured that a waiter on certain CPU is woken
up be the other side. My guess is that the timeout in schedule_timeout()
ensures that it does not wait forever (or a random wake up).

fscache_object_sleep_till_congested() must be invoked from preemptible
context in order for schedule() to work. In this case this_cpu_ptr()
should complain with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled except the thread is
bound to one CPU.

wake_up() wakes only one waiter and I'm not sure if it is guaranteed
that only one waiter exists.

Replace the per-CPU waitqueue with one global waitqueue.
