Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "cgroup: fix cgroup_path() vs rename() race"
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:03:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51205684.5040407@huawei.com> (raw)

This reverts commit 299772fab304ab3a36b22b5d28ed81f9408972e7

Sasha reported this:

[  313.262599] ======================================================
[  313.271340] [ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]
[  313.277542] 3.8.0-rc6-next-20130208-sasha-00028-ge4e162d #278 Tainted: G       W
[  313.277542] ------------------------------------------------------
[  313.277542] kworker/u:3/4490 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:
[  313.277542]  (rename_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff812a11f9>] dentry_path_raw+0x29/0x70
[  313.277542]
[  313.277542] and this task is already holding:
[  313.277542]  (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff819e78f3>] put_io_context_active+0x63/0x100
[  313.277542] which would create a new lock dependency:
[  313.277542]  (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock){-.-...} -> (rename_lock){+.+...}
[  313.277542]
[  313.277542] but this new dependency connects a HARDIRQ-irq-safe lock:
[  313.277542]  (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock){-.-...}

dentry_path_raw() grabs rename_lock and dentry->d_lock without disabling
irqs, which means cgroup_path() can't be called if the caller has already
held a spinlock with irq disabled.
