[PATCH v2] locking/lockdep: Zap lock classes even with lock debugging disabled

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Wed Apr 03 2019 - 19:36:13 EST


Commit a0b0fd53e1e6 ("locking/lockdep: Free lock classes that are no longer
in use") changed the behavior of lockdep_free_key_range() from
unconditionally zapping lock classes into only zapping lock classes if
debug_lock == true. Not zapping lock classes if debug_lock == false leaves
dangling pointers in several lockdep datastructures, e.g. lock_class::name
in the all_lock_classes list. The shell command "cat /proc/lockdep" causes
the kernel to iterate the all_lock_classes list. Hence the "unable to
handle kernel paging request" issue that Shenghui encountered by running
cat /proc/lockdep. Since the new behavior can cause cat /proc/lockdep to
crash, restore the pre-v5.1 behavior.

This patch avoids that cat /proc/lockdep triggers the following crash
with debug_lock == false:
