Subject: [RESEND PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Fix cpu_hotplug_lock acquisition in resize_hpt
Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 14:54:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1557480294-808-1-git-send-email-ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
During a memory hotplug operations involving resizing of the HPT, we
invoke a stop_machine() to perform the resizing. In this code path, we
end up recursively taking the cpu_hotplug_lock, first in
memory_hotplug_begin() and then subsequently in stop_machine(). This
causes the system to hang. With lockdep enabled we get the following
error message before the hang.
swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:
(____ptrval____) (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: stop_machine+0x2c/0x60
but task is already holding lock:
(____ptrval____) (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: mem_hotplug_begin+0x20/0x50
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
*** DEADLOCK ***
Fix this issue by
1) Requiring all the calls to pseries_lpar_resize_hpt() be made
with cpu_hotplug_lock held.
2) In pseries_lpar_resize_hpt() invoke stop_machine_cpuslocked()
as a consequence of 1)
3) To satisfy 1), in hpt_order_set(), call mmu_hash_ops.resize_hpt()
with cpu_hotplug_lock held.

Rebased this one against powerpc/next instead of linux/master.
