From dc87740c8a6806bd2162bfb441770e4e53be5601 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yanfei Xu Date: Sun, 16 May 2021 17:50:10 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Fix stall-warning deadlock due to non-release of rcu_node ->lock If rcu_print_task_stall() is invoked on an rcu_node structure that does not contain any tasks blocking the current grace period, it takes an early exit that fails to release that rcu_node structure's lock. This results in a self-deadlock, which is detected by lockdep. To reproduce this bug: tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 3 --trust-make --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --bootargs "rcutorture.stall_cpu=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0 rcutorture.test_boost=0" This will also result in other complaints, including RCU's scheduler hook complaining about blocking rather than preemption and an rcutorture writer stall. Only a partial RCU CPU stall warning message will be printed because of the self-deadlock. This commit therefore releases the lock on the rcu_print_task_stall() function's early exit path.
