[PATCH] lockdep: fix deadlock issue between lockdep and rcu

From: Zhiguo Niu
Date: Mon Jan 15 2024 - 03:55:17 EST


There is a deadlock scenario between lockdep and rcu when
rcu nocb feature is enabled, just as following call stack:

rcuop/x
-000|queued_spin_lock_slowpath(lock = 0xFFFFFF817F2A8A80, val = ?)
-001|queued_spin_lock(inline) // try to hold nocb_gp_lock
-001|do_raw_spin_lock(lock = 0xFFFFFF817F2A8A80)
-002|__raw_spin_lock_irqsave(inline)
-002|_raw_spin_lock_irqsave(lock = 0xFFFFFF817F2A8A80)
-003|wake_nocb_gp_defer(inline)
-003|__call_rcu_nocb_wake(rdp = 0xFFFFFF817F30B680)
-004|__call_rcu_common(inline)
-004|call_rcu(head = 0xFFFFFFC082EECC28, func = ?)
-005|call_rcu_zapped(inline)
-005|free_zapped_rcu(ch = ?)// hold graph lock
-006|rcu_do_batch(rdp = 0xFFFFFF817F245680)
-007|nocb_cb_wait(inline)
-007|rcu_nocb_cb_kthread(arg = 0xFFFFFF817F245680)
-008|kthread(_create = 0xFFFFFF80803122C0)
-009|ret_from_fork(asm)

rcuop/y
-000|queued_spin_lock_slowpath(lock = 0xFFFFFFC08291BBC8, val = 0)
-001|queued_spin_lock()
-001|lockdep_lock()
-001|graph_lock() // try to hold graph lock
-002|lookup_chain_cache_add()
-002|validate_chain()
-003|lock_acquire
-004|_raw_spin_lock_irqsave(lock = 0xFFFFFF817F211D80)
-005|lock_timer_base(inline)
-006|mod_timer(inline)
-006|wake_nocb_gp_defer(inline)// hold nocb_gp_lock
-006|__call_rcu_nocb_wake(rdp = 0xFFFFFF817F2A8680)
-007|__call_rcu_common(inline)
-007|call_rcu(head = 0xFFFFFFC0822E0B58, func = ?)
-008|call_rcu_hurry(inline)
-008|rcu_sync_call(inline)
-008|rcu_sync_func(rhp = 0xFFFFFFC0822E0B58)
-009|rcu_do_batch(rdp = 0xFFFFFF817F266680)
-010|nocb_cb_wait(inline)
-010|rcu_nocb_cb_kthread(arg = 0xFFFFFF817F266680)
-011|kthread(_create = 0xFFFFFF8080363740)
-012|ret_from_fork(asm)

rcuop/x and rcuop/y are rcu nocb threads with the same nocb gp thread.

This patch release the graph lock before lockdep call_rcu.
