Hi,
Hello!
On the 6.6-rc2 vanilla torvalds tree kernel, KCSAN had reported a number of data-races:

As it is evident, ma_dead_node() expands to:
527 /*

537 /* Do not reorder reads from the node prior to the parent check */
538 smp_rmb();
→ 539 parent = (void *)((unsigned long) node->parent & ~MAPLE_NODE_MASK);
540 return (parent == node);
541 }
as above, but the smb_rmb() protection is here, so the KCSAN warning should be double-checked for
validity.
But I do not really understand maple trees to their depth, I am only reporting the symptomatic
outlook of the reported data-race.
This is the most complex part of the maple tree, and unique to the
ability to store a range over multiple existing entries. I recently
rewrote this particular section to avoid a potential live-lock issue.
I am confident that the parent pointer will not be set to the node
pointer as checked by ma_dead_node(). But in an abundance of caution
and to resolve this potential false-positive, I am looking at this in
more detail.
This race is to see if the walk down the tree into unchanged data will
be seen before it is placed in the new subtree with its data also
unchanged. Since we know the parent can never be the node, I feel this
is safe - but I'm not willing to live with the complaints from kasan.
This is all-in-all a very interested subject, and I wish there was a way to just slurp all those
interesting kernel intrinsics into the brain, but it just ain't that easy. Forgive me for being
open ...
I appreciate that and your detailed analysis with code pointers of where
this happens. Is this easy to recreate? If so, how? Can you attach
your kernel config?
Thanks,
Liam
