Message-ID: <20120725134710.GA25625@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Hello Amerigo Wang,
The patch 8a8efa22f51b: "bonding: sync netpoll code with bridge" from
Feb 17, 2011, leads to the following warning:
drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:1849 bond_enslave()
error: scheduling with locks held: 'read_lock:&bond->lock'
drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c
1301 read_lock(&bond->lock);
1302 bond_for_each_slave(bond, slave, i) {
1303 err = slave_enable_netpoll(slave);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This can lead to a scheduling while atomic bug because it does a
GFP_KERNEL allocation and calls __netpoll_setup() which sleeps.
1304 if (err) {
1305 __bond_netpoll_cleanup(bond);
1306 break;
1307 }
1308 }
1309 read_unlock(&bond->lock);
Also later in the file:
1848 if (slave_dev->npinfo) {
1849 if (slave_enable_netpoll(new_slave)) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We are holding read_lock(&bond->lock);
1850 read_unlock(&bond->lock);
1851 pr_info("Error, %s: master_dev is using netpoll, "
1852 "but new slave device does not support netpoll.\n",
1853 bond_dev->name);
1854 res = -EBUSY;
1855 goto err_detach;
1856 }
The easy way to trigger this warning is to test with
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.
regards,
dan carpenter
