[RT] Lockdep warning on boot with 2.6.31-rc5-rt1.1

[RT] Lockdep warning on boot with 2.6.31-rc5-rt1.1

[Clark Williams]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2767 bytes --]

Peter,

I'm getting this warning from lockdep when booting on my T60. 

The two addresses reported (0xffffffff812664a2 and 0xffffffff812664ae)
actually bracket one call to mutex_lock() in driver_attach() so I'm not
sure what the complaint is.

Oh, that's tglx who's gone wild with sem->mutex conversions.

It used to be that _all_ dev->sem instances were taken on suspend or
something like that, I think that got fixed a long while back.

I'd have to look at what the current locking requirements for dev->sem
are. 

I remember talking to Alan on several occasions about this, and I just
went over some of the old emails, but I must say the precise
requirements stay hidden from me. Also, I'm not sure these emails are
still representative of the current state.

Is this code available somewhere?

It is supposed to be locked whenever the driver core invokes a probe, 
remove, or PM-related callback.  Under some circumstances, the parent's 
semaphore is supposed to be locked as well.  Individual subsystems may 
have their own requirements in addition to these.

The ordering requirement is: Don't try to acquire a device's lock if
you already hold the lock for a non-ancestor device.  More generally
(if more obscurely): If you already hold device A's lock, then don't
try to acquire the lock for device B unless you already hold the lock
for A & B's most recent common ancestor.

I think they are, pretty much.  The real problem, of course, is that 
lockdep doesn't understand tree-structured lock orderings.  Hence it 
isn't practical to convert dev->sem into a mutex.

Its in the -rt tree, but this patch was posted to lkml at:
  http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/26/36

The -rt tree can be found in various places, but while tglx is out
celebrating his holidays the latest can be found through:

Right, well it would if we'd make every instance a class, but since
classes should reside in static storage this is far from trivial.

If we'd be able to find a mapping such that we can use a limited number
of these classes to represent the needed structure then we're good.

I think I proposed adding a class to each driver or something, but then
you countered that a single driver could register itself at conflicting
places in the device tree.

Still it might be worth to try that and see where we'll end up and
possibly fix up a few drivers to be more intelligent.

/me ponders

Nested busses would be interesting though, suppose we assign a class to
a USB bus driver, and we chain USB hubs, you'd get a nesting of similar
classes and that'd upset lockdep again :/


The other proposal was creating a fixed list of classes and register
each device at a class corresponding to its depth in the tree. I can't
remember what was wrong with that, but I seem to have been persuaded
that that was hard too.

Also there can be devices in the tree that don't have any driver.  And 
there can be devices that have the same driver as their children.

Yep.

It probably would work for the most part.  However a possible scenario
involves first locking a parent and then locking all its children.  (I
don't know if this ever happens anywhere, but it might.)  This can't
cause a deadlock but it would run into trouble with depth-based
classes.

If you know which parent is locked, we can solve that with
mutex_lock_nest_lock() [ doesn't currently exist, but is analogous to
spin_lock_nest_lock() ] and together with
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/23/222 that would allow you to lock up to
2048 children.

Would something like that work?

Not only do I know not which parent is locked, I don't even know if 
this ever happens anywhere at all!  My point was purely theoretical.

Perhaps -- I don't understand what spin_lock_nest_lock() is supposed to
do.

It seems that the following case is very common, and A and B have no
common ancestor, but we can hold device A and B's lock at the same
time, can't we?

Thanks.

device A  comes in one bus:
	device_add()
         ->bus_attach_device()
            ->device_attach():drivers/base/dd.c /*holding device A's lock*/
               ->...drv->probe()		/*sleep here some time*/

then device B comes in another bus:
	device_add()
         ->bus_attach_device()
            ->device_attach():drivers/base/dd.c /*holding device B's lock*/
               ->...drv->probe()		/*sleep here some time*/

So right now thread 1 is sleeping.

So all this must happen in a different thread, thread 2:

At this point, thread 1 holds A's lock and thread 2 holds B's lock.  
Neither thread holds both locks.

Maybe we can introduce some mutex interfaces which bypass lockdep validation
temporarily to allow driver core to convert to mutex from sema if lockdep
can't validate tree-structured lock orderings.

temporarily to allow driver core to convert to mutex from sema if lockdep
can't validate tree-structured lock orderings.

I'm getting a different lockdep warning when booting on my T400 using
2.6.31-rc5; not sure if it's related or not....

In any case, it's screwing up the ability for lockdep to find any
other problems.
