From 4749ffdfbb090fa88f5e76c5df16f7bff5677a85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vineet Gupta Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 14:11:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ARC: show_regs: lockdep: avoid page allocator... [ Upstream commit ab6c03676cb190156603cf4c5ecf97aa406c9c53 ] and use smaller/on-stack buffer instead The motivation for this change was lockdep splat like below. | potentially unexpected fatal signal 11. | BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ../mm/page_alloc.c:4317 | in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 57, name: segv | no locks held by segv/57. | Preemption disabled at: | [<8182f17e>] get_signal+0x4a6/0x7c4 | CPU: 0 PID: 57 Comm: segv Not tainted 4.17.0+ #23 | | Stack Trace: | arc_unwind_core.constprop.1+0xd0/0xf4 | __might_sleep+0x1f6/0x234 | __get_free_pages+0x174/0xca0 | show_regs+0x22/0x330 | get_signal+0x4ac/0x7c4 # print_fatal_signals() -> preempt_disable() | do_signal+0x30/0x224 | resume_user_mode_begin+0x90/0xd8 So signal handling core calls show_regs() with preemption disabled but an ensuing GFP_KERNEL page allocator call is flagged by lockdep. We could have switched to GFP_NOWAIT, but turns out that is not enough anways and eliding page allocator call leads to less code and instruction traces to sift thru when debugging pesky crashes. FWIW, this patch doesn't cure the lockdep splat (which next patch does).
