lockdep: Fix a race between /proc/lock_stat and module unload

2015-06-07T13:46:30Z

The lock_class iteration of /proc/lock_stat is not serialized against the lockdep_free_key_range() call from module unload. Therefore it can happen that we find a class of which ->name/->key are no longer valid. There is a further bug in zap_class() that left ->name dangling. Cure this. Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() because NULL. Since lockdep_free_key_range() is rcu_sched serialized, we can read both ->name and ->key under rcu_read_lock_sched() (preempt-disable) and be assured that if we observe a !NULL value it stays safe to use for as long as we hold that lock. If we observe both NULL, skip the entry. Reported-by: Jerome Marchand Tested-by: Jerome Marchand Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: H.

sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler()

2015-05-08T09:53:55Z

Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly: T1 (prio = 10) lock(rtmutex); T2 (prio = 20) lock(rtmutex) boost T1 T1 (prio = 20) sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30) T1 prio = 30 .... sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10) T1 prio = 30 The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20. Commit c365c292d059 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()") only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its priority. Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the decision whether a change of the priority is required.

lockdep: Make print_lock() robust against concurrent release

2015-04-17T07:42:14Z

During sysrq's show-held-locks command it is possible that hlock_class() returns NULL for a given lock. The result is then (after the warning): |BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000001c |IP: [] get_usage_chars+0x5/0x100 |Call Trace: | [] print_lock_name+0x23/0x60 | [] print_lock+0x5d/0x7e | [] lockdep_print_held_locks+0x74/0xe0 | [] debug_show_all_locks+0x132/0x1b0 | [] sysrq_handle_showlocks+0x8/0x10 This *might* happen because the thread on the other CPU drops the lock after we are looking ->lockdep_depth and ->held_locks points no longer to a lock that is held. The fix here is to simply ignore it and continue. Reported-by: Andreas Messerschmid Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.

locking/mutex: Further simplify mutex_spin_on_owner()

2015-04-09T06:10:23Z

Similar to what Linus suggested for rwsem_spin_on_owner(), in mutex_spin_on_owner() instead of having while (true) and breaking out of the spin loop on lock->owner != owner, we can have the loop directly check for while (lock->owner == owner) to improve the readability of the code.

lockdep: Fix the module unload key range freeing logic

2015-03-23T09:49:07Z

Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class(). Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still better plug the hole. Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments. Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and comment the requirements. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Andrey Tsyvarev Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.

locking/rwsem: Fix lock optimistic spinning when owner is not running

2015-03-07T08:50:49Z

Ming reported soft lockups occurring when running xfstest due to the following tip:locking/core commit: b3fd4f03ca0b ("locking/rwsem: Avoid deceiving lock spinners") When doing optimistic spinning in rwsem, threads should stop spinning when the lock owner is not running. While a thread is spinning on owner, if the owner reschedules, owner->on_cpu returns false and we stop spinning. However, this commit essentially caused the check to get ignored because when we break out of the spin loop due to !on_cpu, we continue spinning if sem->owner != NULL. This patch fixes this by making sure we stop spinning if the owner is not running. Furthermore, just like with mutexes, refactor the code such that we don't have separate checks for owner_running(). This makes it more straightforward in terms of why we exit the spin on owner loop and we would also avoid needing to "guess" why we broke out of the loop to make this more readable.

locking/rtmutex: Set state back to running on error

2015-03-01T08:45:06Z

The "usual" path is: - rt_mutex_slowlock() - set_current_state() - task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() (ret 0) - __rt_mutex_slowlock() - sleep or not but do return with __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) - back to caller. In the early error case where task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() return -EDEADLK we never change the task's state back to RUNNING. I assume this is intended. Without this change after ww_mutex using rt_mutex the selftest passes but later I get plenty of: | bad: scheduling from the idle thread! backtraces.

locking: Remove ACCESS_ONCE() usage

2015-02-24T07:44:16Z

With the new standardized functions, we can replace all ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant locking - this includes lockref and seqlock while at it. ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type, this is cleaner than having three alternatives.
