Subject: [PATCH v4] mm: Give kmap_lock before call flush_tlb_kernel_rang,avoid kmap_high deadlock.
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:18:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1730387884-57777-1-git-send-email-zhang.chuna@h3c.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1728891693-41227-1-git-send-email-zhang.chuna@h3c.com>
CPU 0: CPU 1:
kmap_high(){ kmap_xxx() {
... irq_disable();
spin_lock(&kmap_lock)
...
map_new_virtual ...
flush_all_zero_pkmaps
flush_tlb_kernel_range /* CPU0 holds the kmap_lock */
smp_call_function_many spin_lock(&kmap_lock)
... ....
spin_unlock(&kmap_lock)
...
CPU 0 holds the kmap_lock, waiting for CPU 1 respond to IPI. But CPU 1 has disabled irqs,
waiting for kmap_lock, cannot answer the IPI.
Fix this by releasing kmap_lock before call flush_tlb_kernel_range, avoid kmap_lock deadlock.
if (need_flush) {
unlock_kmap();
flush_tlb_kernel_range(PKMAP_ADDR(0), PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP));
lock_kmap();
}
Dropping the lock like this is safe. kmap_lock is used to protect pkmap_count, pkmap_page_table and last_pkmap_nr(static variable).
When call flush_tlb_kernel_range(PKMAP_ADDR(0), PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP)), flush_tlb_kernel_range will neither modify nor read these variables.
Leave that data unprotected here is safe.
map_new_virtual aims to find an usable entry pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr].
When read and modify the pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr], the kmap_lock is not dropped. "if (!pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr])" determine pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr] is usable or not.
If unusable, try agin.
Furthermore, the value of static variable last_pkmap_nr is stored in a local variable last_pkmap_nr, when kmap_lock is acquired, this is thread-safe.
In an extreme case, if Thread A and Thread B access the same last_pkmap_nr, Thread A calls function flush_tlb_kernel_range and release the kmap_lock,
and Thread B then acquires the kmap_lock and modifies the variable pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr]. After Thread A completes the execution of function the
variable pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr]. After Thread A completes the execution of function flush_tlb_kernel_range, it will check the variable
pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr].
static inline unsigned long map_new_virtual(struct page *page) {
unsigned long vaddr;
int count;
unsigned int last_pkmap_nr; // local variable to store static variable last_pkmap_nr
unsigned int color = get_pkmap_color(page);
start:
...
flush_all_zero_pkmaps();// release kmap_lock, then acquire it
count = get_pkmap_entries_count(color);
}
...
if (!pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr]) // pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr] is used or not
break; /* Found a usable entry */
if (--count)
continue;
...
vaddr = PKMAP_ADDR(last_pkmap_nr);
set_pte_at(&init_mm, vaddr,
&(pkmap_page_table[last_pkmap_nr]), mk_pte(page, kmap_prot));
pkmap_count[last_pkmap_nr] = 1;
...
return vaddr;
}
