Subject: [PATCH 2/3] rcu/nocb: Invert rcu_state.barrier_mutex VS hotplug lock locking order
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2022 14:23:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220419122320.2060902-3-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220419122320.2060902-1-frederic@kernel.org>

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

In case of failure to spawn either rcuog or rcuo[p] kthreads for a given
rdp, rcu_nocb_rdp_deoffload() needs to be called with the hotplug
lock and the barrier_mutex held. However cpus write lock is already held
while calling rcutree_prepare_cpu(). It's not possible to call
rcu_nocb_rdp_deoffload() from there with just locking the barrier_mutex
or this would result in a locking inversion against
rcu_nocb_cpu_deoffload() which holds both locks in the reverse order.

Simply solve this with inverting the locking order inside
rcu_nocb_cpu_[de]offload(). This will be a pre-requisite to toggle NOCB
states toward cpusets anyway.
