Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: Print proper scenario if cross deadlock detected at acquisition time
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 20:52:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170919125218.17802-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com> (raw)
For a potential deadlock about CROSSRELEASE as follow:
P1 P2
=========== =============
lock(A)
lock(X)
lock(A)
commit(X)
A: normal lock, X: cross lock
, we could detect it at two places:
1. commit time:
We have run P1 first, and have dependency A --> X in graph, and
then we run P2, and find the deadlock.
2. acquisition time:
We have run P2 first, and have dependency X --> A, in
graph(because another P3 may run previously and is acquiring for
lock X), and then we run P1 and find the deadlock.
In current print_circular_lock_scenario(), for 1) we could print the
right scenario and note that's a deadlock related to CROSSRELEASE,
however for 2) we print the scenario as a normal lockdep deadlock,
instead we print something like:
| [ 35.310179] ======================================================
| [ 35.310749] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
| [ 35.310749] 4.13.0-rc4+ #1 Not tainted
| [ 35.310749] ------------------------------------------------------
| [ 35.310749] torture_onoff/766 is trying to acquire lock:

| [ 35.313943] which lock already depends on the new lock.
...
| [ 35.313943] other info that might help us debug this:
| [ 35.313943]
| [ 35.313943] Possible unsafe locking scenario:

| [ 35.313943] lock((complete)&st->done);
| [ 35.313943] lock(sparse_irq_lock);
| [ 35.313943] lock((complete)&st->done);
| [ 35.313943]
| [ 35.313943] *** DEADLOCK ***
It's better to print a proper scenario related to CROSSRELEASE to help
users find their bugs more easily, so improve this.
