[PATCH tip/core/urgent 0/10] v2: Fix RCU lockdep splats

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

This patchset contains ten fixes for various lockdep splats.  The first
two sets are repostings/revisions, the rest new.  The new patches have
all been posted to LKML, but this is the first time for inclusion.

o	rcu: v2: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splat
	This is a repost that makes the one-splat-per-boot the default,
	but allows those who want multiple splats to get this behavior
	via a new CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY configuration parameter.
	(Original from Lai Jiangshan.)

o	KEYS: Fix an RCU warning
	KEYS: Fix an RCU warning in the reading of user keys
	Fixes for RCU-lockdep splats from David Howells for
	security/keys.  Repost of http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/411.

o	cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in cgroup_path()
	cgroup: Fix an RCU warning in alloc_css_id()
	sched: Fix an RCU warning in print_task()
	cgroup: Check task_lock in task_subsys_state()
	Fixes for new RCU-lockdep splats in cgroups and sched from
	Li Zefan.

o	memcg: css_id() must be called under rcu_read_lock()
	Fixes for new RCU-lockdep splats in memcg from Kamazawa Hiroyuki.

o	blk-cgroup: Fix RCU correctness warning in cfq_init_queue()
	Fix for new RCU-lockdep splat in I/O scheduler from Vivek Goyal.

o	vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc access
	Fix for new RCU-lockdep splat from fdtable.h, with much
	debugging assist from Eric Dumazet.

[PATCH tip/core/urgent 01/10] rcu: v2: optionally leave lockdep enabled after RCU lockdep splat

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>

There is no need to disable lockdep after an RCU lockdep splat, so
remove the debug_lockdeps_off() from lockdep_rcu_dereference().
To avoid repeated lockdep splats, use a static variable in the
inlined rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected()
macros so that a given instance splats only once, but so that
multiple instances can be detected per boot.

This is controlled by a new config variable CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY,
which is disabled by default.

[PATCH tip/core/urgent 06/10] sched: Fix an RCU warning in print_task()

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>

With CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, a warning can be triggered:

  $ cat /proc/sched_debug

...
kernel/cgroup.c:1649 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!
...

Both cgroup_path() and task_group() should be called with either
rcu_read_lock or cgroup_mutex held.

The rcu_dereference_check() does include cgroup_lock_is_held(), so we
know that this lock is not held.  Therefore, in a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel,
to say nothing of a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, the original code could
have ended up copying a string out of the freelist.

This patch inserts RCU read-side primitives needed to prevent this
scenario.

From: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>

Expand task_subsys_state()'s rcu_dereference_check() to include the full
locking rule as documented in Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt by adding
a check for task->alloc_lock being held.

This fixes an RCU false positive when resuming from suspend. The warning
comes from freezer cgroup in cgroup_freezing_or_frozen().

[PATCH tip/core/urgent 09/10] blk-cgroup: Fix RCU correctness warning in cfq_init_queue()

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

It is necessary to be in an RCU read-side critical section when invoking
css_id(), so this patch adds one to blkiocg_add_blkio_group().  This is
actually a false positive, because this is called at initialization time
and hence always refers to the root cgroup, which cannot go away.

[PATCH tip/core/urgent 10/10] vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc access

[Paul E. McKenney]

If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and
some other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc,
the current rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive
RCU-lockdep splat due to the reference count being increased by the
/proc access after the reference-count check in fget_light() but before
the check in rcu_dereference_check_fdtable().

This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded
process.

If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and
some other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc,
the current rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive
RCU-lockdep splat due to the reference count being increased by the
/proc access after the reference-count check in fget_light() but before
the check in rcu_dereference_check_fdtable().

This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded
process.  To avoid #include hell, this commit also introduces an
rcu_my_thread_group_empty() as a wrapper for thread_group_empty(current).
