locking: Fix __clear_task_blocked_on() warning from __ww_mutex_wound() path

2025-08-13T08:34:54Z

The __clear_task_blocked_on() helper added a number of sanity checks ensuring we hold the mutex wait lock and that the task we are clearing blocked_on pointer (if set) matches the mutex. However, there is an edge case in the _ww_mutex_wound() logic where we need to clear the blocked_on pointer for the task that owns the mutex, not the task that is waiting on the mutex. For this case the sanity checks aren't valid, so handle this by allowing a NULL lock to skip the additional checks. K Prateek Nayak and Maarten Lankhorst also pointed out that in this case where we don't hold the owner's mutex wait_lock, we need to be a bit more careful using READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE in both the __clear_task_blocked_on() and __set_task_blocked_on() implementations to avoid accidentally tripping WARN_ONs if two instances race. So do that here as well. This issue was easier to miss, I realized, as the test-ww_mutex driver only exercises the wait-die class of ww_mutexes. I've sent a patch[1] to address this so the logic will be easier to test.

locking/rtmutex: Move max_lock_depth into rtmutex.c

2025-07-23T09:52:47Z

Move the max_lock_depth sysctl table element into rtmutex_api.c. Removed the rtmutex.h include from sysctl.c. Chose to move into rtmutex_api.c to avoid multiple registrations every time rtmutex.c is included in other files. This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados

hung_task: extend hung task blocker tracking to rwsems

2025-07-20T02:08:26Z

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], and having already extended it to semaphores, let's now add support for reader-writer semaphores (rwsems). The approach is simple: when a task enters TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE while waiting for an rwsem, we just call hung_task_set_blocker(). The hung task detector can then query the rwsem's owner to identify the lock holder. Tracking works reliably for writers, as there can only be a single writer holding the lock, and its task struct is stored in the owner field. The main challenge lies with readers. The owner field points to only one of many concurrent readers, so we might lose track of the blocker if that specific reader unlocks, even while others remain. This is not a significant issue, however. In practice, long-lasting lock contention is almost always caused by a writer. Therefore, reliably tracking the writer is the primary goal of this patch series ;) With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info like below: [Fri Jun 27 15:21:34 2025] INFO: task cat:28631 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

Additionally, a stale owner pointer in a reader-owned rwsem can lead to false positives in blocker tracking when CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER is enabled. To mitigate this, clear the owner field on the reader unlock path, similar to what CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS does. A NULL owner is better than a stale one for diagnostics.

lockdep: Speed up lockdep_unregister_key() with expedited RCU synchronization

2025-07-15T04:57:29Z

lockdep_unregister_key() is called from critical code paths, including sections where rtnl_lock() is held. For example, when replacing a qdisc in a network device, network egress traffic is disabled while __qdisc_destroy() is called for every network queue. If lockdep is enabled, __qdisc_destroy() calls lockdep_unregister_key(), which gets blocked waiting for synchronize_rcu() to complete. For example, a simple tc command to replace a qdisc could take 13 seconds: # time /usr/sbin/tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 0x1: mq real 0m13.195s user 0m0.001s sys 0m2.746s During this time, network egress is completely frozen while waiting for RCU synchronization. Use synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead to minimize the impact on critical operations like network connectivity changes. This improves 10x the function call to tc, when replacing the qdisc for a network card. # time /usr/sbin/tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 0x1: mq real 0m1.789s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.613s [boqun: Fixed the comment and add more information for the temporary workaround, and add TODO information for hazptr] Reported-by: Erik Lundgren Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Reviewed-by: Paul E.
