Hi Rafael and Tejun,
When running CPU hotplug tests, it triggers an lockdep warning
as follow. The two possible deadlock paths are:
1) echo x > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpux/online
->kernfs_fop_write()
->kernfs_get_active()
1.a) ->rwsem_acquire_read(&kn->dep_map, 0, 1, _RET_IP_);
->cpu_up()
1.b) ->cpu_hotplug_begin()[lock_map_acquire(&cpu_hotplug.dep_map)]
2) hardware triggers hotplug evetns
->acpi_device_hotplug()
->acpi_processor_remove()
2.a) ->cpu_hotplug_begin()[lock_map_acquire(&cpu_hotplug.dep_map)]
->unregister_cpu()
->device_del()
->kernfs_remove_by_name_ns()
->__kernfs_remove()
->kernfs_drain()
2.b) ->rwsem_acquire(&kn->dep_map, 0, 0, _RET_IP_)
So there is a possible deadlock scenario among 1.a, 1.b, 2.a and 2.b.
I'm not familiar with kernfs, so could you please help to comment:
1) whether is a real deadlock issue?
2) any recommended way to get it fixed?
Thanks!
Gerry
