I looked into the issue, and indeed I can conform the patch introduces this as it takes the devtree_lock for printing the name of the fwnode. There is however chance of a deadlock in practice as the code in mm/slub.c does not deal with fwnodes (in which case acquiring devtree_lock could be possible), maybe for other reasons as well. The patch however introduces an unpleasant source of such warnings. One approach to address this could be not allocating memory while holding devtree_lock spinlock. That seems entirely feasible. But could also releasing memory cause something to be printed, effectively causing the same problem? The code in mm/slub.c is non-trivial, and I haven't checked other allocators. Perhaps a safest way to fix this could be returning to use dn->full_name for printing node names, in which case the devtree_lock would no longer be taken for printing names. The effect would be though that there would be again one more user for the full_name field, information that can be reconstructed from the node's parents. > > --- > ====================================================== > WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected > 5.5.0-rc4-00066-g738d2902773e #1 Not tainted > ------------------------------------------------------ > swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock: > c1313b00 (logbuf_lock){-.-.}, at: vprintk_emit+0x68/0x2d4 > > but task is already holding lock: > ef030b90 (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){..-.}, at: free_debug_processing+0x38/0x418 > > which lock already depends on the new lock. > > > the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: > > -> #2 (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){..-.}: > ___slab_alloc.constprop.23+0x12c/0x798 > __slab_alloc.constprop.22+0x44/0x70 > __kmalloc+0x384/0x41c > of_populate_phandle_cache+0xcc/0x148 > of_core_init+0x8/0xbc > driver_init+0x1c/0x2c > kernel_init_freeable+0xac/0x1b4 > kernel_init+0x8/0x118 > ret_from_fork+0x14/0x20 > 0x0 > > -> #1 (devtree_lock){....}: > of_get_parent+0x18/0x34 > of_fwnode_get_parent+0x34/0x40 > fwnode_count_parents+0x28/0x58 > fwnode_full_name_string+0x18/0xa0 > device_node_string+0x490/0x4f0 > pointer+0x440/0x4d8 > vsnprintf+0x1bc/0x3d8 > vscnprintf+0xc/0x24 > vprintk_store+0x34/0x204 > vprintk_emit+0x94/0x2d4 > vprintk_default+0x20/0x28 > printk+0x30/0x54 > exynos4_pm_init_power_domain+0x220/0x258 > do_one_initcall+0x8c/0x440 > kernel_init_freeable+0x150/0x1b4 > kernel_init+0x8/0x118 > ret_from_fork+0x14/0x20 > 0x0 > > -> #0 (logbuf_lock){-.-.}: > lock_acquire+0xec/0x290 > _raw_spin_lock+0x38/0x48 > vprintk_emit+0x68/0x2d4 > vprintk_default+0x20/0x28 > printk+0x30/0x54 > unwind_frame+0x6a8/0x6fc > walk_stackframe+0x2c/0x38 > __save_stack_trace+0x84/0x8c > stack_trace_save+0x3c/0x5c > set_track+0x40/0x9c > free_debug_processing+0x1a4/0x418 > __slab_free+0x2d4/0x510 > kmem_cache_free+0x44c/0x49c > rcu_core+0x348/0x994 > __do_softirq+0x164/0x668 > irq_exit+0x16c/0x170 > __handle_domain_irq+0x80/0xec > gic_handle_irq+0x58/0x9c > __irq_svc+0x70/0xb0 > raid6_neon8_gen_syndrome_real+0x264/0x39c > raid6_neon8_gen_syndrome_real+0x264/0x39c > > other info that might help us debug this: > > Chain exists of: > logbuf_lock --> devtree_lock --> &(&n->list_lock)->rlock > > Possible unsafe locking scenario: > > CPU0 CPU1 > ---- ---- > lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock); > lock(devtree_lock); > lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock); > lock(logbuf_lock); > > *** DEADLOCK *** > > 2 locks held by swapper/0/1: > #0: c131466c (rcu_callback){....}, at: rcu_core+0x304/0x994 > #1: ef030b90 (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){..-.}, at: free_debug_processing+0x38/0x418 > > stack backtrace: > CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.5.0-rc4-00066-g738d2902773e #1 > Hardware name: SAMSUNG EXYNOS (Flattened Device Tree) > [<c0113264>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c010e448>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) > [<c010e448>] (show_stack) from [<c0c9b754>] (dump_stack+0xa4/0xd0) > [<c0c9b754>] (dump_stack) from [<c018cbd8>] (check_noncircular+0x258/0x274) > [<c018cbd8>] (check_noncircular) from [<c019043c>] (__lock_acquire+0x1870/0x2860) > [<c019043c>] (__lock_acquire) from [<c018e088>] (lock_acquire+0xec/0x290) > [<c018e088>] (lock_acquire) from [<c0cbf278>] (_raw_spin_lock+0x38/0x48) > [<c0cbf278>] (_raw_spin_lock) from [<c01a1f84>] (vprintk_emit+0x68/0x2d4) > [<c01a1f84>] (vprintk_emit) from [<c01a2210>] (vprintk_default+0x20/0x28) > [<c01a2210>] (vprintk_default) from [<c01a2844>] (printk+0x30/0x54) > [<c01a2844>] (printk) from [<c0113210>] (unwind_frame+0x6a8/0x6fc) > [<c0113210>] (unwind_frame) from [<c010ddf0>] (walk_stackframe+0x2c/0x38) > [<c010ddf0>] (walk_stackframe) from [<c010df54>] (__save_stack_trace+0x84/0x8c) > [<c010df54>] (__save_stack_trace) from [<c01c2d40>] (stack_trace_save+0x3c/0x5c) > [<c01c2d40>] (stack_trace_save) from [<c02ae258>] (set_track+0x40/0x9c) > [<c02ae258>] (set_track) from [<c02b06a8>] (free_debug_processing+0x1a4/0x418) > [<c02b06a8>] (free_debug_processing) from [<c02b0bf0>] (__slab_free+0x2d4/0x510) > [<c02b0bf0>] (__slab_free) from [<c02b17ac>] (kmem_cache_free+0x44c/0x49c) > [<c02b17ac>] (kmem_cache_free) from [<c01bd608>] (rcu_core+0x348/0x994) > [<c01bd608>] (rcu_core) from [<c010230c>] (__do_softirq+0x164/0x668) > [<c010230c>] (__do_softirq) from [<c0131310>] (irq_exit+0x16c/0x170) > [<c0131310>] (irq_exit) from [<c01a3740>] (__handle_domain_irq+0x80/0xec) > [<c01a3740>] (__handle_domain_irq) from [<c0630828>] (gic_handle_irq+0x58/0x9c) > [<c0630828>] (gic_handle_irq) from [<c0101a70>] (__irq_svc+0x70/0xb0) > Exception stack(0xef19bd30 to 0xef19bd78) > bd20: c0d43e50 c0d43e60 ef19bebc c0d43e70 > bd40: c0d43e20 c0d43e10 00000400 00000430 00000440 00000450 00000460 00000470 > bd60: c0d43e40 ef19bd80 c0d43e30 c0625c00 20000013 ffffffff > [<c0101a70>] (__irq_svc) from [<c0625c00>] (raid6_neon8_gen_syndrome_real+0x264/0x39c) > > --- > Bisect: > > #
