rtmutex: Make rt_mutex_futex_unlock() safe for irq-off callsites

When running rcutorture with TREE03 config, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, and kernel cmdline argument "rcutorture.gp_exp=1", lockdep reports a HARDIRQ-safe->HARDIRQ-unsafe deadlock: ================================ WARNING: inconsistent lock state 4.16.0-rc4+ #1 Not tainted -------------------------------- inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} -> {HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage. takes: __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 {IN-HARDIRQ-W} state was registered at: _raw_spin_lock+0x2a/0x40 scheduler_tick+0x47/0xf0 ... other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&rq->lock); lock(&rq->lock); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by rcu_torture_rea/724: rcu_torture_read_lock+0x0/0x70 stack backtrace: CPU: 2 PID: 724 Comm: rcu_torture_rea Not tainted 4.16.0-rc4+ #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.11.0-20171110_100015-anatol 04/01/2014 Call Trace: lock_acquire+0x90/0x200 ? __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 _raw_spin_lock+0x2a/0x40 ? __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 preempt_schedule_irq+0x2f/0x60 retint_kernel+0x1b/0x2d RIP: 0010:rcu_read_unlock_special+0x0/0x680 ? rcu_torture_read_unlock+0x60/0x60 __rcu_read_unlock+0x64/0x70 rcu_torture_read_unlock+0x17/0x60 rcu_torture_reader+0x275/0x450 ? rcutorture_booster_init+0x110/0x110 ? rcu_torture_stall+0x230/0x230 ? kthread+0x10e/0x130 kthread+0x10e/0x130 ? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x70/0x70 ? call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x11a/0x150 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 This happens with the following even sequence: preempt_schedule_irq(); local_irq_enable(); __schedule(): local_irq_disable(); // irq off ... rcu_note_context_switch(): rcu_note_preempt_context_switch(): rcu_read_unlock_special(): local_irq_save(flags); ... raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(...,flags); // irq remains off rt_mutex_futex_unlock(): raw_spin_lock_irq(); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(); // accidentally set irq on rq_lock(): raw_spin_lock(); // acquiring rq->lock with irq on which means rq->lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause deadlocks in scheduler code.

To fix this, replace the *lock_irq() in rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with *lock_irq{save,restore}() to make it safe to call rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off.

locking/qspinlock: Ensure node->count is updated before initialising node

2018-02-13T13:50:14Z

When queuing on the qspinlock, the count field for the current CPU's head node is incremented. This needn't be atomic because locking in e.g. IRQ context is balanced and so an IRQ will return with node->count as it found it. However, the compiler could in theory reorder the initialisation of node[idx] before the increment of the head node->count, causing an IRQ to overwrite the initialised node and potentially corrupt the lock state. Avoid the potential for this harmful compiler reordering by placing a barrier() between the increment of the head node->count and the subsequent node initialisation.

locking/qspinlock: Ensure node is initialised before updating prev->next

2018-02-13T13:50:14Z

When a locker ends up queuing on the qspinlock locking slowpath, we initialise the relevant mcs node and publish it indirectly by updating the tail portion of the lock word using xchg_tail. If we find that there was a pre-existing locker in the queue, we subsequently update their ->next field to point at our node so that we are notified when it's our turn to take the lock. This can be roughly illustrated as follows: /* Initialise the fields in node and encode a pointer to node in tail */ tail = initialise_node(node); /* * Exchange tail into the lockword using an atomic read-modify-write * operation with release semantics */ old = xchg_tail(lock, tail); /* If there was a pre-existing waiter ... */ if (old & _Q_TAIL_MASK) { prev = decode_tail(old); smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* ... then update their ->next field to point to node. WRITE_ONCE(prev->next, node); } The conditional update of prev->next therefore relies on the address dependency from the result of xchg_tail ensuring order against the prior initialisation of node. However, since the release semantics of the xchg_tail operation apply only to the write portion of the RmW, then this ordering is not guaranteed and it is possible for the CPU to return old before the writes to node have been published, consequently allowing us to point prev->next to an uninitialised node. This patch fixes the problem by making the update of prev->next a RELEASE operation, which also removes the reliance on dependency ordering.

locking/lockdep: Avoid triggering hardlockup from debug_show_all_locks()

2018-01-24T09:00:09Z

debug_show_all_locks() iterates all tasks and print held locks whole holding tasklist_lock. This can take a while on a slow console device and may end up triggering NMI hardlockup detector if someone else ends up waiting for tasklist_lock. Touch the NMI watchdog while printing the held locks to avoid spuriously triggering the hardlockup detector.

lockdep: Assign lock keys on registration

2018-01-18T10:56:48Z

Lockdep is assigning lock keys when a lock was looked up. This is unnecessary; if the lock has never been registered then it is known that it is not locked. It also complicates the calling convention. Switch to assigning the lock key in register_lock_class().

futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futex

2018-01-14T17:49:16Z

Julia reported futex state corruption in the following scenario: waiter waker stealer (prio > waiter) futex(WAIT_REQUEUE_PI, uaddr, uaddr2, timeout=[N ms]) futex_wait_requeue_pi() futex_wait_queue_me() freezable_schedule() futex(LOCK_PI, uaddr2) futex(CMP_REQUEUE_PI, uaddr, uaddr2, 1, 0) /* requeues waiter to uaddr2 */ futex(UNLOCK_PI, uaddr2) wake_futex_pi() cmp_futex_value_locked(uaddr2, waiter) wake_up_q() task> futex(LOCK_PI, uaddr2) __rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* steals lock */ rt_mutex_set_owner(lock, stealer) rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() __rt_mutex_slowlock() try_to_take_rt_mutex() /* fails, lock held by stealer */ if (timeout && !timeout->task) return -ETIMEDOUT; fixup_owner() /* lock wasn't acquired, so, fixup_pi_state_owner skipped */ return -ETIMEDOUT; /* At this point, we've returned -ETIMEDOUT to userspace, but the * futex word shows waiter to be the owner, and the pi_mutex has * stealer as the owner */ futex_lock(LOCK_PI, uaddr2) -> bails with EDEADLK, futex word says we're owner. And suggested that what commit: 73d786bd043e ("futex: Rework inconsistent rt_mutex/futex_q state") removes from fixup_owner() looks to be just what is needed. And indeed it is -- I completely missed that requeue_pi could also result in this case. So we need to restore that, except that subsequent patches, like commit: 16ffa12d7425 ("futex: Pull rt_mutex_futex_unlock() out from under hb->lock") changed all the locking rules. Even without that, the sequence: - if (rt_mutex_futex_trylock(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex)) { - locked = 1; - goto out; - } - raw_spin_lock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock); - owner = rt_mutex_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex); - if (!owner) - owner = rt_mutex_next_owner(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex); - raw_spin_unlock_irq(&q->pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock); - ret = fixup_pi_state_owner(uaddr, q, owner); already suggests there were races; otherwise we'd never have to look at next_owner. So instead of doing 3 consecutive wait_lock sections with who knows what races, we do it all in a single section. Additionally, the usage of pi_state->owner in fixup_owner() was only safe because only the rt_mutex owner would modify it, which this additional case wrecks. Luckily the values can only change away and not to the value we're testing, this means we can do a speculative test and double check once we have the wait_lock.
