Summary

Fix locking issues with aio_fsync().

  • Use correct lock in aio_cancel_sync when dequeueing job.
  • Add _locked variants of aio_set/clear_cancel_function and use those to avoid lock recursion when adding and removing fsync jobs to the per-process sync queue.
  • While here, add a basic test for aio_fsync().

PR: 211390

Test Plan
  • Run aio_fsync test on an unpatched kernel and get panic reported in PR.
  • Patched kernel is fine.

I'm using 12-CURRENT r303286, and setting the sysctl vfs.aio.enable_unsafe=1 to enable the tests.

Running the test on an unpatched kernel successfully triggers the same panic from the PR.

Running the test on a patched kernel produces the following panic:

root@mako:/usr/tests # kyua test -k Kyuafile sys/aio/aio_test
sys/aio/aio_test:aio_fifo_test -> passed [0.007s]

(edited to fix formatting)

Are you sure the patch applied cleanly? I reworked the code in aio_bio_done_notify() to reduce indentation and committed that code yesterday. If you don't have that change then the hunk that changed 'aio_clear_cancel_function()' to 'aio_clear_cancel_function_locked()' would have failed resulting in the panic you see.

You're correct, the revision I was using was before your other changes went in. With r303462 and this patch, the tests pass successfully for me :)
