Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 02/10] rv/da: fix per-task da_monitor_destroy() ordering and sync
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 02:24:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d02c656aada7d071f083460a5c9a454363669b61.1778522945.git.wen.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778522945.git.wen.yang@linux.dev>
From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@linux.dev>
The following two paths race:
CPU 0 (disable_stall/__rv_disable_monitor) CPU 1 (wwnr probe handler)
------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
disable_stall()
da_monitor_destroy()
da_monitor_reset_all() <------ [task T: monitoring=0]
da_monitor_start(&T->rv[n])
/* no timer_setup */
monitoring=1 <----
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister()
// CPU 1 probe has already returned; sync returns
Later, enable_stall() acquires the same slot and calls da_monitor_init():
da_monitor_reset_all()
da_monitor_reset(&T->rv[slot]) // monitoring=1, timer.function==0
ha_monitor_reset_env()
ha_cancel_timer()
timer_delete(&ha_mon->timer) // ODEBUG: timer never initialised
ODEBUG: assert_init not available (active state 0)
object type: timer_list
Call trace: timer_delete <- da_monitor_reset_all <- enable_stall
Call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() inside da_monitor_destroy()
before da_monitor_reset_all(). The unregister_trace_xxx() calls in the
monitor's disable() have already disconnected the tracepoints; the sync
here drains any handler still in flight, so no new monitoring=1 can
appear after da_monitor_reset_all() clears the slot.
Also fix the slot release ordering: release the slot only after
reset_all() to avoid accessing rv[] with an out-of-bounds index.
Fixes: f5587d1b6ec9 ("rv: Add Hybrid Automata monitor type")
