Subject: [RFC PATCH] srcu: Use try-lock lockdep annotation for NMI-safe access.
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 18:02:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230927160231.XRCDDSK4@linutronix.de> (raw)

It is claimed that srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() NMI-safe. However it
triggers a lockdep if used from NMI because lockdep expects a deadlock
since nothing disables NMIs while the lock is acquired.

Use a try-lock annotation for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() to avoid lockdep
complains if used from NMI.

The splat:
| ================================
| WARNING: inconsistent lock state
| 6.6.0-rc3-rt5+ #85 Not tainted
| --------------------------------
| inconsistent {INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI} usage.
| swapper/0/0 [HC1[1]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] takes:
| ffffffff828e6c90 (console_srcu){....}-{0:0}, at: console_srcu_read_lock+0x3a/0x50
| {INITIAL USE} state was registered at:
…
|        CPU0
|        ----
|   lock(console_srcu);
|   <Interrupt>
|     lock(console_srcu);
|
|  *** DEADLOCK ***
|

My guess is that trylock annotation should not apply to
rcu_lock_acquire(). This would distinguish it from from non-NMI safe
srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and NMI check in rcu_read_unlock() is only
there to survive if accidentally used in-NMI.
