Subject: [PATCH] mm/kmemleak: avoid deadlock by moving pr_warn() outside
 kmemleak_lock

When netpoll is enabled, calling pr_warn_once() while holding
kmemleak_lock in mem_pool_alloc() can cause a deadlock due to lock
inversion with the netconsole subsystem.  This occurs because
pr_warn_once() may trigger netpoll, which eventually leads to
__alloc_skb() and back into kmemleak code, attempting to reacquire
kmemleak_lock.

This is the path for the deadlock.

mem_pool_alloc()
  -> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);
      -> pr_warn_once()
          -> netconsole subsystem
	     -> netpoll
	         -> __alloc_skb
		   -> __create_object
		     -> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);

Fix this by setting a flag and issuing the pr_warn_once() after
kmemleak_lock is released.

[PATCH 5.4.y 1/2] mm/kmemleak: turn kmemleak_lock and object->lock to raw_spinlock_t

[Sasha Levin]

From: He Zhe <zhe.he@windriver.com>

[ Upstream commit 8c96f1bc6fc49c724c4cdd22d3e99260263b7384 ]

kmemleak_lock as a rwlock on RT can possibly be acquired in atomic
context which does work.

Since the kmemleak operation is performed in atomic context make it a
raw_spinlock_t so it can also be acquired on RT.  This is used for
debugging and is not enabled by default in a production like environment
(where performance/latency matters) so it makes sense to make it a
raw_spinlock_t instead trying to get rid of the atomic context.  Turn
also the kmemleak_object->lock into raw_spinlock_t which is acquired
(nested) while the kmemleak_lock is held.

The time spent in "echo scan > kmemleak" slightly improved on 64core box
with this patch applied after boot.

[bigeasy@linutronix.de: redo the description, update comments. Merge the individual bits:  He Zhe did the kmemleak_lock, Liu Haitao the ->lock and Yongxin Liu forwarded Liu's patch.]

[PATCH 5.4.y 2/2] mm/kmemleak: avoid deadlock by moving pr_warn() outside kmemleak_lock

[Sasha Levin]

From: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>

[ Upstream commit 47b0f6d8f0d2be4d311a49e13d2fd5f152f492b2 ]

When netpoll is enabled, calling pr_warn_once() while holding
kmemleak_lock in mem_pool_alloc() can cause a deadlock due to lock
inversion with the netconsole subsystem.  This occurs because
pr_warn_once() may trigger netpoll, which eventually leads to
__alloc_skb() and back into kmemleak code, attempting to reacquire
kmemleak_lock.

This is the path for the deadlock.

mem_pool_alloc()
  -> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);
      -> pr_warn_once()
          -> netconsole subsystem
	     -> netpoll
	         -> __alloc_skb
		   -> __create_object
		     -> raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&kmemleak_lock, flags);

Fix this by setting a flag and issuing the pr_warn_once() after
kmemleak_lock is released.
