Hi, The following warning can be triggered by attaching/detaching the prog in the link multiple times. This is related to a previous report: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/Y4%2F27g8EHQ9F3bDr@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t Seems hard to prevent this, especially with kprobe. This can be reproduced on: HEAD commit: ab0350c743d5 selftests/bpf: Fix conflicts with built-in functions in bpf_iter_ksym git tree: bpf-next console log: https://pastebin.com/raw/khH3sQVG kernel config: https://pastebin.com/raw/77bXX2Wb BPF prog: https://pastebin.com/raw/A43uNuP1 ================================ WARNING: inconsistent lock state 6.1.0-rc7-01489-gab0350c743d5 #120 Not tainted -------------------------------- inconsistent {INITIAL USE} -> {IN-NMI} usage. kprobe/6606 [HC1[1]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] takes: ffffffff8d41bfb8 (trace_printk_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: ____bpf_trace_printk kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:391 [inline] ffffffff8d41bfb8 (trace_printk_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: bpf_trace_printk+0xd3/0x170 kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:377 {INITIAL USE} state was registered at: lock_acquire kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5668 [inline] lock_acquire+0x1e0/0x610 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5633 __raw_spin_lock_irqsave include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:110 [inline] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3a/0x50 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:162 ____bpf_trace_printk kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:391 [inline] bpf_trace_printk+0xd3/0x170 kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:377 bpf_prog_cf2ac6d483d8499b_trace_bpf_trace_printk+0x2b/0x37 bpf_dispatcher_nop_func include/linux/bpf.h:1082 [inline] __bpf_prog_run include/linux/filter.h:600 [inline] bpf_prog_run include/linux/filter.h:607 [inline] bpf_prog_run_array include/linux/bpf.h:1728 [inline] trace_call_bpf+0x280/0x660 kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:136 kprobe_perf_func+0x107/0x860 kernel/trace/trace_kprobe.c:1522 kprobe_dispatcher+0xe6/0x180 kernel/trace/trace_kprobe.c:1665 opt_pre_handler+0xd9/0x160 kernel/kprobes.c:429 optimized_callback arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/opt.c:199 [inline] optimized_callback+0x221/0x2b0 arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/opt.c:176 0xffffffffa0403034 pgdat_kswapd_lock include/linux/memory_hotplug.h:213 [inline] kswapd_is_running mm/compaction.c:1987 [inline] should_proactive_compact_node mm/compaction.c:2060 [inline] kcompactd+0x2cb/0xeb0 mm/compaction.c:2979 irq event stamp: 14116 hardirqs last enabled at (14115): [<ffffffff81d074f2>] kasan_quarantine_put+0x102/0x230 mm/kasan/quarantine.c:242 hardirqs last disabled at (14116): [<ffffffff89f217a3>] exc_int3+0x23/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/traps.c:843 softirqs last enabled at (14102): [<ffffffff81917290>] spin_unlock_bh include/linux/spinlock.h:395 [inline] softirqs last enabled at (14102): [<ffffffff81917290>] bpf_link_settle kernel/bpf/syscall.c:2879 [inline] softirqs last enabled at (14102): [<ffffffff81917290>] bpf_perf_link_attach+0x360/0x520 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3283 softirqs last disabled at (14100): [<ffffffff81917253>] spin_lock_bh include/linux/spinlock.h:355 [inline] softirqs last disabled at (14100): [<ffffffff81917253>] bpf_link_settle kernel/bpf/syscall.c:2877 [inline] softirqs last disabled at (14100): [<ffffffff81917253>] bpf_perf_link_attach+0x323/0x520 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:3283 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(trace_printk_lock);
