Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 6/8] tracing/timerlat: Drop interface_lock in stop_kthread()
Date: Fri, 04 Oct 2024 09:57:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241004135723.958450678@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20241004135655.993267242@goodmis.org
From: Wei Li <liwei391@huawei.com>
stop_kthread() is the offline callback for "trace/osnoise:online", since
commit 5bfbcd1ee57b ("tracing/timerlat: Add interface_lock around clearing
of kthread in stop_kthread()"), the following ABBA deadlock scenario is
introduced:
T1 | T2 [BP] | T3 [AP]
osnoise_hotplug_workfn() | work_for_cpu_fn() | cpuhp_thread_fun()
| _cpu_down() | osnoise_cpu_die()
mutex_lock(&interface_lock) | | stop_kthread()
| cpus_write_lock() | mutex_lock(&interface_lock)
cpus_read_lock() | cpuhp_kick_ap() |
As the interface_lock here in just for protecting the "kthread" field of
the osn_var, use xchg() instead to fix this issue. Also use
for_each_online_cpu() back in stop_per_cpu_kthreads() as it can take
cpu_read_lock() again.
