blk_mq_sched_insert_request: inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage

blk_mq_sched_insert_request: inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage

[Michael Ellerman]

Hi Jens,

I'm seeing the lockdep warning below on shutdown on a Power8 machine
using IPR.

If I'm reading it right it looks like the spin_lock() (non-irq) in
blk_mq_sched_insert_request() is the immediate cause.

Looking at blk_mq_requeue_work() (the caller), it is doing
spin_lock_irqsave(). So is switching blk_mq_sched_insert_request() to
spin_lock_irqsave() the right fix?

cheers

All the users of ctx->lock should be from process context.

That's because the requeue lock needs to be IRQ safe. However, the
context allows for just spin_lock_irq() for that lock there, so that
should be fixed up. Not your issue, of course, but we don't need to
save flags there.

The bug looks like SCSI running the queue inline from IRQ
context, that's not a good idea. Can you confirm the below works for
you?

Hello Jens,

scsi_run_queue() works fine if no scheduler is configured. Additionally, th=
at
code predates the introduction of blk-mq I/O schedulers. I think it is
nontrivial for block driver authors to figure out that a queue has to be ru=
n
from process context if a scheduler has been configured that does not suppo=
rt
to be run from interrupt context. How about adding WARN_ON_ONCE(in_interrup=
t())
to blk_mq_start_hw_queue() or replacing the above patch by the following:


Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: Make it safe to call blk_mq_start_hw_queues() from=
 interrupt context

blk_mq_start_hw_queues() triggers a queue run. Some functions that
get called to run a queue, e.g. dd_dispatch_request(), are not IRQ-safe.
Hence run the queue asynchronously if blk_mq_start_hw_queues() is called
from interrupt context.

No it doesn't, you could never run the queue from interrupt context with
async == false. So I don't think that's confusing at all, you should
always be aware of the context.

No, I hate having dependencies like that, because they always just catch
one of them. Looks like the IPR path that hits this should just offload
to a workqueue or similar, you don't have to make any scsi_run_queue()
async.

OK, so the resolution is "fix it in IPR" ?

I'll leave that to the SCSI crew. But at least one bug is in IPR, if you
look at the call trace:

- timer function triggers, runs ipr_reset_timer_done(), which grabs the
  host lock AND disables interrupts.
- further down in the call path, ipr_ioa_bringdown_done() uncondtionally
  enables interrupts:

                spin_unlock_irq(ioa_cfg->host->host_lock);
                scsi_unblock_requests(ioa_cfg->host);
                spin_lock_irq(ioa_cfg->host->host_lock); 

And the call to scsi_unblock_requests() is the one that ultimately runs
the queue. The IRQ issue aside here, scsi_unblock_requests() could run
the queue async, and we could retain the normal sync run otherwise.

Can you try the below fix? Should be more palatable than the previous
one. Brian, maybe you can take a look at the IRQ issue mentioned above?

Hello Jens,

Are there other block drivers that can call blk_mq_start_hw_queues() from
interrupt context? I'm currently working on converting the skd driver
(drivers/block/skd_main.c) from a single queue block driver into a scsi-mq
driver. The skd driver calls blk_start_queue() from interrupt context. As w=
e
know it is not safe to call blk_mq_start_hw_queues() from interrupt context=
.
Can you recommend me how I should proceed: should I implement a solution in
the skd driver or should perhaps the blk-mq core be modified?

Thanks,

Bart.=

Great that you a converting that driver! If there's a need for it, we
could always expose the sync/async need in blk_mq_start_hw_queues().
>From a quick look at the driver, it's using start queue very liberally.
Would probably make sense to see which ones of those are actually
needed. For resource management, we've got better interfaces on the
blk-mq side, for instance.

Since this is a conversion, might make sense to not modify
blk_mq_start_hw_queues() and simply provide an alternative
blk_mq_start_hw_queues_async(). That will keep the conversion straight
forward. Then the next step could be to fixup skd, and then we could
drop the _async() variant again, hopefully.

Michael,

Yes it seems to, thanks.

I only see the trace on reboot, and not 100% of the time. But I've
survived a couple of reboots now without seeing anything, so I think
this is helping.

I'll put the patch in my Jenkins over night and let you know how it
survives that, which should be ~= 25 boots.

cheers

No lockdep warnings or other oddness over night, so that patch looks
good to me.

[PATCH] ipr: Fix scsi-mq lockdep issue

[Brian King]

Fixes the following lockdep warning that can occur when scsi-mq is enabled
with ipr due to ipr calling scsi_unblock_requests from irq context. The fix
is to move the call to scsi_unblock_requests to ipr's existing workqueue.

Re: [PATCH] ipr: Fix scsi-mq lockdep issue

[Martin K. Petersen]

Brian,

Applied to 4.13/scsi-fixes. Thank you!

Given the patch from Brian fixed the lockdep warning, do you still want
me to try and test this one?

cheers

Nope, we don't have to do that. I'd much rather just add a WARN_ON()
or similar to make sure we catch buggy users earlier. scsi_run_queue()
needs a

WARN_ON(in_interrupt());

but it might be better to put that in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue().
