pci-sysfs: queue sysfs rescan routine into workqueue to avoid potential deadlock situation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is a potential deadlock situation when we manipulate the pci-sysfs user
interfaces from different bus hierarchy simultaneously, described as following:

path1: sysfs remove device:             | path2: sysfs rescan device:
sysfs_schedule_callback_work()          | sysfs_write_file()
  remove_callback()                     |   flush_write_buffer()
*1* mutex_lock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex)|*2*  sysfs_get_active(attr_sd)
      ...                               |     dev_attr_store()
        device_remove_file()            |       dev_rescan_store()
          ...                           |*4*
mutex_lock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex)
*3*       sysfs_deactivate(sd)          |     ...
            wait_for_completion()       |*5*  sysfs_put_active(attr_sd)
*6* mutex_unlock(&pci_remove_rescan_mutex)

If path1 first holds the pci_remove_rescan_mutex at *1*, then another path
called path2 actived and runs to *2* before path1 runs to *3*, we now runs
to a deadlock situation:
Path1 holds the mutex waiting path2 to decrease sysfs_dirent's s_active
counter at *5*, but path2 is blocked at *4* when trying to get the
pci_remove_rescan_mutex. The mutex won't be put by path1 until it reach
*6*, but it's now blocked at *3*.

Under the suggestion of Bjorn, and base on Yinghai Lu's patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git;a=commitdiff;h=277df390baeab7ba6aa136356b677a096c890c0c

The circumvent approach is queuing the sysfs rescan routine into workqueue just
like removal to avoid manipulating(remove/scan) the pci-tree at the same time.
