Backtrace seen when enabling PREEMPT_RT

Backtrace seen when enabling PREEMPT_RT

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi,

When I tried to enable PREEMPT_RT together with various lock debugging
options, I got the attached backtraces.

This is with qemu's ne2k_pci Ethernet emulation.

Question: If I enable PREEMPT_RT tests at kerneltests.org, should I report
such issues or stop testing affected configurations (I understand that
ne2k_pci probably isn't used much nowadays).

Thanks,
Guenter

Yes, I think you should still report this.

Interrupts are disabled  while taking a spin_lock() (in RT that's a mutex).

Hmm, where is that ei_start_xmit+0x2a7, This would be good to run
scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh on this.

Ug, we have in __ei_start_xmit():

        /*
         *      Slow phase with lock held.
         */

        disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave(dev->irq, &flags);

        spin_lock(&ei_local->page_lock);


Where we have:

static inline void disable_irq_nosync_lockdep(unsigned int irq)
{
        disable_irq_nosync(irq); 
#ifdef CONFIG_LOCKDEP
        local_irq_disable();
#endif 
}

Where when we have LOCKDEP enabled, it disables interrupts. But as you can
see, that's going to trigger the warning:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

Because the spin_lock() is a mutex when PREEMPT_RT is enabled, but now we
have interrupts disabled when LOCKDEP in enabled.

Peter, should that be:

static inline void disable_irq_nosync_lockdep(unsigned int irq)
{
        disable_irq_nosync(irq); 
#if defined(CONFIG_LOCKDEP) && !defined(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT)
        local_irq_disable();
#endif 
}

Or is that just wishful thinking that this would be solved by such a simple
solution (of course the enable_irq() version also needs to be updated).

[PATCH 0/2] lockdep: disable_irq_nosync_lockdep.*() for PREEMPT_RT.

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Guenter reported a sleeping-while-atomic warning on PREEMPT_RT with the
NE2K card. Turns out it is a questionable construct which requires
lockdep tweak to not get reported. It was added long time ago to deal
with the NE2K and has today two users.

The way I see, we could convert NE2K to NAPI and avoid the construct. It
would do the slow-part/ spin (in the reset case) with "just" BH disabled
which is what it is doing now since all callers disable BH before
calling. There are however many parts using the driver which have to be
touched (CS, PCI, …) and I have just qemu here so I am not too
comfortable doing it. Also I haven't looked what is wrong forcedeth yet.

I have no idea why nobody converted NE2K to NAPI in the last 20 years.
The annotation was added in 2007 while NAPI was added in 2002 via
   abb85ec3ab0ba ("Integrate NAPI work done by Jamal Hadi Salim, Robert Olsson, and Alexey Kuznetsov.…)

The easy part is to just avoid disabling interrupt on PREEMPT_RT since
there is no difference.

[PATCH 1/2] lockdep: Don't disable interrupts on RT in disable_irq_nosync_lockdep.*()

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

disable_irq_nosync_lockdep() disables interrupts with lockdep enabled to
avoid false positive reports by lockdep that a certain lock has not been
acquired with disabled interrupts. The user of this macros expects that
a lock can be acquried without disabling interrupts because the IRQ line
triggering the interrupt is disabled.

This triggers a warning on PREEMPT_RT because after
disable_irq_nosync_lockdep.*() the following spinlock_t now is acquired
with disabled interrupts.

On PREEMPT_RT there is no difference between spin_lock() and
spin_lock_irq() so avoiding disabling interrupts in this case works for
the two remaining callers as of today.

Don't disable interrupts on PREEMPT_RT in disable_irq_nosync_lockdep.*().

Is this "Fixes" tag accurate? IIUC, the issue only exists after
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is introduced from mainline POV. Or we want this to be
backported in older stable kernels predating CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT?

lockdep: Don't disable interrupts on RT in disable_irq_nosync_lockdep.*()

disable_irq_nosync_lockdep() disables interrupts with lockdep enabled to
avoid false positive reports by lockdep that a certain lock has not been
acquired with disabled interrupts. The user of this macros expects that
a lock can be acquried without disabling interrupts because the IRQ line
triggering the interrupt is disabled.

This triggers a warning on PREEMPT_RT because after
disable_irq_nosync_lockdep.*() the following spinlock_t now is acquired
with disabled interrupts.

On PREEMPT_RT there is no difference between spin_lock() and
spin_lock_irq() so avoiding disabling interrupts in this case works for
the two remaining callers as of today.

Don't disable interrupts on PREEMPT_RT in disable_irq_nosync_lockdep.*().
