Hi Waiman, Since kernel v4.17-rc1 and DEBUG_RWSEMS, I see the warning below after filesystem freeze/thaw. This is a case where one process acquires a bunch of rwsem and another process releases them. To convey this use case to lockdep, freeze_super() calls lockdep_sb_freeze_release() on exit and thaw_super() calls lockdep_sb_freeze_acquire() on entry. These annotations don't seem to have any effect on the DEBUG_RWSEMS owner checks. What do you think is the best way to resolve this issue? Thanks, Amir. ---------------------- root@kvm-xfstests:~# fsfreeze -f /vdf root@kvm-xfstests:~# fsfreeze -u /vdf [ 20.302978] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 20.305016] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem->owner != get_current()) [ 20.305029] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1401 at /home/amir/build/src/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:133 up_write+0x59/0x79 [ 20.311252] CPU: 1 PID: 1401 Comm: fsfreeze Not tainted 4.17.0-rc3-xfstests-00049-g39e47bf59eb3 #3276 [ 20.314808] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Ubuntu-1.8.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 [ 20.318403] RIP: 0010:up_write+0x59/0x79 [ 20.320928] RSP: 0018:ffffc90000717e48 EFLAGS: 00010286 [ 20.322955] RAX: 0000000000000030 RBX: ffff880078f1c680 RCX: ffff880078e42200 [ 20.325665] RDX: ffffffff810cc9c1 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: 0000000000000202 [ 20.328844] RBP: ffffc90000717e80 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000001 [ 20.332340] R10: ffffc90000717c58 R11: ffffffff836807ad R12: ffff880078f1c388 [ 20.335095] R13: ffff880078a8b980 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 00000000fffffff7 [ 20.338009] FS: 00007fb61ca42700(0000) GS:ffff88007f400000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 20.341423] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 20.343772] CR2: 00007fb61c559b30 CR3: 0000000078da6000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 [ 20.346463] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 20.349201] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 20.351960] Call Trace: [ 20.352911] percpu_up_write+0x1f/0x28 [ 20.354344] thaw_super_locked+0xdf/0x120 [ 20.355944] do_vfs_ioctl+0x270/0x5f1 [ 20.357390] ? __se_sys_newfstat+0x2e/0x39 [ 20.358969] ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x59/0xbe [ 20.360991] ksys_ioctl+0x52/0x71 [ 20.362384] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x16/0x19 [ 20.363702] do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x167 [ 20.365099] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe
