From 1ddd45f8d76f0c15ec4e44073eeaaee6a806ee81 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 10:15:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() Converting the hotplug locking, i.e. get_online_cpus(), to a percpu rwsem unearthed a circular lock dependency which was hidden from lockdep due to the lockdep annotation of get_online_cpus() which prevents lockdep from creating full dependency chains. There are several variants of this. And example is: Chain exists of: cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> drm_global_mutex --> &item->mutex CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&item->mutex); lock(drm_global_mutex); lock(&item->mutex); lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem); because there are dependencies through workqueues. The call chain is: get_online_cpus apply_workqueue_attrs __alloc_workqueue_key ttm_mem_global_init ast_ttm_mem_global_init drm_global_item_ref ast_mm_init ast_driver_load drm_dev_register drm_get_pci_dev ast_pci_probe local_pci_probe work_for_cpu_fn process_one_work worker_thread This is not a problem of get_online_cpus() recursion, it's a possible deadlock undetected by lockdep so far. The cure is to use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() to protect the PCI probing. There is a side effect to this: cpu_hotplug_disable() makes a concurrent cpu hotplug attempt via the sysfs interfaces fail with -EBUSY, but PCI probing usually happens during the boot process where no interaction is possible. Any later invocations are infrequent enough and concurrent hotplug attempts are so unlikely that the danger of user space visible regressions is very close to zero. Anyway, thats preferrable over a real deadlock. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Bjorn Helgaas Cc: Paul E.
