Further testing with false negatives suppressed by commit 293e2421fe25 ("rcu: Remove superfluous versions of rcu_read_lock_sched_held()") identified a few more unprotected uses of RCU from the idle loop. Because RCU actively ignores idle-loop code (for energy-efficiency reasons, among other things), using RCU from the idle loop can result in too-short grace periods, in turn resulting in arbitrary misbehavior. The resulting lockdep-RCU splats are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.6.0-rc5-next-20160426+ #1112 Not tainted ------------------------------- include/trace/events/ipi.h:35 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: RCU used illegally from idle CPU! rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state! no locks held by swapper/0/0. stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.6.0-rc5-next-20160426+ #1112 Hardware name: Generic OMAP4 (Flattened Device Tree) [<c0110308>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c010c3a8>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [<c010c3a8>] (show_stack) from [<c047fec8>] (dump_stack+0xb0/0xe4) [<c047fec8>] (dump_stack) from [<c010dcfc>] (smp_cross_call+0xbc/0x188) [<c010dcfc>] (smp_cross_call) from [<c01c9e28>] (generic_exec_single+0x9c/0x15c) [<c01c9e28>] (generic_exec_single) from [<c01ca0a0>] (smp_call_function_single_async+0 x38/0x9c) [<c01ca0a0>] (smp_call_function_single_async) from [<c0603728>] (cpuidle_coupled_poke_others+0x8c/0xa8) [<c0603728>] (cpuidle_coupled_poke_others) from [<c0603c10>] (cpuidle_enter_state_coupled+0x26c/0x390) [<c0603c10>] (cpuidle_enter_state_coupled) from [<c0183c74>] (cpu_startup_entry+0x198/0x3a0) [<c0183c74>] (cpu_startup_entry) from [<c0b00c0c>] (start_kernel+0x354/0x3c8) [<c0b00c0c>] (start_kernel) from [<8000807c>] (0x8000807c) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Warning from omap3 =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.6.0-rc5-next-20160426+ #1112 Not tainted ------------------------------- include/trace/events/rpm.h:63 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: RCU used illegally from idle CPU! rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state! 1 lock held by swapper/0/0: #0: (&(&dev->power.lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<c052ee24>] __pm_runtime_suspend+0x54/0x84 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.6.0-rc5-next-20160426+ #1112 Hardware name: Generic OMAP36xx (Flattened Device Tree) [<c0110308>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c010c3a8>] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [<c010c3a8>] (show_stack) from [<c047fec8>] (dump_stack+0xb0/0xe4) [<c047fec8>] (dump_stack) from [<c052d7b4>] (rpm_suspend+0x604/0x7e4) [<c052d7b4>] (rpm_suspend) from [<c052ee34>] (__pm_runtime_suspend+0x64/0x84) [<c052ee34>] (__pm_runtime_suspend) from [<c04bf3bc>] (omap2_gpio_prepare_for_idle+0x5c/0x70) [<c04bf3bc>] (omap2_gpio_prepare_for_idle) from [<c01255e8>] (omap_sram_idle+0x140/0x244) [<c01255e8>] (omap_sram_idle) from [<c0126b48>] (omap3_enter_idle_bm+0xfc/0x1ec) [<c0126b48>] (omap3_enter_idle_bm) from [<c0601db8>] (cpuidle_enter_state+0x80/0x3d4) [<c0601db8>] (cpuidle_enter_state) from [<c0183c74>] (cpu_startup_entry+0x198/0x3a0) [<c0183c74>] (cpu_startup_entry) from [<c0b00c0c>] (start_kernel+0x354/0x3c8) [<c0b00c0c>] (start_kernel) from [<8000807c>] (0x8000807c) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reported-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
