Subject: [PATCH v2] srcu: Use try-lock lockdep annotation for NMI-safe access.
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:27:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231130132729.niM5FJPc@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ZV5Dhjcb9Jd_lk0O@boqun-archlinux>

It is claimed that srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() NMI-safe. However it
triggers a lockdep if used from NMI because lockdep expects a deadlock
since nothing disables NMIs while the lock is acquired.

This is because commit f0f44752f5f61 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side
lockdep dependencies") annotates synchronize_srcu() as a write lock
usage. This helps to detect a deadlocks such as
	srcu_read_lock();
	synchronize_srcu();
	srcu_read_unlock();

The side effect is that the lock srcu_struct now has a USED usage in normal
contexts, so it conflicts with a USED_READ usage in NMI. But this shouldn't
cause a real deadlock because the write lock usage from synchronize_srcu() is a
fake one and only used for read/write deadlock detection.

Use a try-lock annotation for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() to avoid lockdep
complains if used from NMI.

Fixes: f0f44752f5f61 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side lockdep dependencies")
