The recent conversion of the xfsaild functionality to a work queue introduced a hard-to-hit log space grant hang. One is caused by a race condition in determining whether there is a psh in progress or not. The XFS_AIL_PUSHING_BIT is used to determine whether a push is currently in progress. When the AIL push work completes, it checked whether the target changed and cleared the PUSHING bit to allow a new push to be requeued. The race condition is as follows: Thread 1 push work smp_wmb() smp_rmb() check ailp->xa_target unchanged update ailp->xa_target test/set PUSHING bit does not queue clear PUSHING bit does not requeue Now that the push target is updated, new attempts to push the AIL will not trigger as the push target will be the same, and hence despite trying to push the AIL we won't ever wake it again. The fix is to ensure that the AIL push work clears the PUSHING bit before it checks if the target is unchanged. As a result, both push triggers operate on the same test/set bit criteria, so even if we race in the push work and miss the target update, the thread requesting the push will still set the PUSHING bit and queue the push work to occur. For safety sake, the same queue check is done if the push work detects the target change, though only one of the two will will queue new work due to the use of test_and_set_bit() checks.
