Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rcu/nocb: Fix missed RCU barrier on deoffloading
Date: Wed,  6 Nov 2024 16:32:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241106153213.38896-3-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)

Currently, running rcutorture test with torture_type=rcu fwd_progress=8
n_barrier_cbs=8 nocbs_nthreads=8 nocbs_toggle=100 onoff_interval=60
test_boost=2, will trigger the following warning:

                                                                   // len == 3
                                 // decrement len
                                 rcu_segcblist_add_len(-2);
                             kthread_parkme()

// CPU1's rdp->cblist len == 1
// Warn because there is
// still a pending barrier
// trigger warning
WARN_ON_ONCE(rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(&rdp->cblist));
cpus_read_unlock();

                                                                // wait CPU1 to comes online and
                                                                // invoke barrier callback on
                                                                // CPU1 rdp's->cblist
                                                                wait_for_completion(&rcu_state.barrier_completion);
// deoffload CPU4
cpus_read_lock()
  rcu_barrier()
    mutex_lock(&rcu_state.barrier_mutex);
    // block on barrier_mutex
    // wait rcu_barrier() on
    // CPU3 to unlock barrier_mutex
    // but CPU3 unlock barrier_mutex
    // need to wait CPU1 comes online
    // when CPU1 going online will block on cpus_write_lock

The above scenario will not only trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(), but also
trigger a deadlock.

Thanks to nocb locking, a second racing rcu_barrier() on an offline CPU
will either observe the decremented callback counter down to 0 and spare
the callback enqueue, or rcuo will observe the new callback and keep
rdp->nocb_cb_sleep to false.

Therefore check rdp->nocb_cb_sleep before parking to make sure no
further rcu_barrier() is waiting on the rdp.
