Subject: [for-next][PATCH 09/11] ftrace: Fix softlockup in ftrace_module_enable
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 13:01:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930170302.709162951@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250930170135.285740909@kernel.org
From: Vladimir Riabchun <ferr.lambarginio@gmail.com>
A soft lockup was observed when loading amdgpu module.
If a module has a lot of tracable functions, multiple calls
to kallsyms_lookup can spend too much time in RCU critical
section and with disabled preemption, causing kernel panic.
This is the same issue that was fixed in
commit d0b24b4e91fc ("ftrace: Prevent RCU stall on PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
kernels") and commit 42ea22e754ba ("ftrace: Add cond_resched() to
ftrace_graph_set_hash()").
Fix it the same way by adding cond_resched() in ftrace_module_enable.
