From c3e639bc522bac3c706ec59f0fe927af2c5f4a5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Cartwright Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 00:04:25 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 095/365] list_bl: fixup bogus lockdep warning At first glance, the use of 'static inline' seems appropriate for INIT_HLIST_BL_HEAD(). However, when a 'static inline' function invocation is inlined by gcc, all callers share any static local data declared within that inline function. This presents a problem for how lockdep classes are setup. raw_spinlocks, for example, when CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, # define raw_spin_lock_init(lock) \ do { \ static struct lock_class_key __key; \ \ __raw_spin_lock_init((lock), #lock, &__key); \ } while (0) When this macro is expanded into a 'static inline' caller, like INIT_HLIST_BL_HEAD(): static inline INIT_HLIST_BL_HEAD(struct hlist_bl_head *h) { h->first = NULL; raw_spin_lock_init(&h->lock); } ...the static local lock_class_key object is made a function static. For compilation units which initialize invoke INIT_HLIST_BL_HEAD() more than once, then, all of the invocations share this same static local object. This can lead to some very confusing lockdep splats (example below). Solve this problem by forcing the INIT_HLIST_BL_HEAD() to be a macro, which prevents the lockdep class object sharing. ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 4.4.4-rt11 #4 Not tainted --------------------------------------------- kswapd0/59 is trying to acquire lock: (&h->lock#2){+.+.-.}, at: mb_cache_shrink_scan but task is already holding lock: (&h->lock#2){+.+.-.}, at: mb_cache_shrink_scan other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&h->lock#2); lock(&h->lock#2); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 2 locks held by kswapd0/59: #0: (shrinker_rwsem){+.+...}, at: rt_down_read_trylock #1: (&h->lock#2){+.+.-.}, at: mb_cache_shrink_scan Reported-by: Luis Claudio R.
