This is a dead lock problem.
The ah_pool xa_lock first is acquired in this:

{SOFTIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at:

   lock_acquire+0x1d2/0x5a0
   _raw_spin_lock+0x33/0x80
   __rxe_add_to_pool+0x183/0x230 [rdma_rxe]

Then ah_pool xa_lock is acquired in this:

{IN-SOFTIRQ-W}:

Call Trace:
  <TASK>
   dump_stack_lvl+0x44/0x57
   mark_lock.part.52.cold.79+0x3c/0x46

   rxe_pool_get_index+0x72/0x1d0 [rdma_rxe]
   rxe_get_av+0x168/0x2a0 [rdma_rxe]
</TASK>

 From the above, in the function __rxe_add_to_pool,
xa_lock is acquired. Then the function __rxe_add_to_pool
is interrupted by softirq. The function
rxe_pool_get_index will also acquire xa_lock.

Finally, the dead lock appears.

V4->V5: Commit logs are changed to avoid confusion.
V3->V4: xa_lock_irq locks are used.
V2->V3: __rxe_add_to_pool is between spin_lock and spin_unlock, so
         GFP_ATOMIC is used in __rxe_add_to_pool.
V1->V2: Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_ATOMIC

It should just use xa_alloc_cyclic_irq() and xa_erase_irq(). Don't
open code the lock.

Got it. I will use the above functions.


I may admit that I didn't follow your previous discussions, so maybe you
already explained it. But why do you need xa_lock_irq() here?

The spinlock type needs to be consistent in all users.

You can only use the naked version if the spinlock is always obtained
from a process context.

You can only use bh version if the spinlock is always obtained from a
process context or bh/softirq

You can always use the irq version

What I don't understand is why IRQ and not BH? AFAIK there is no case
where rxe is called from a real IRQ, right? Or is it because you can't
nest BH under the IRQ spinlock from CM?

Sure. I will use IRQ spinlock. The reason is as below:

1. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rdma/patch/20220210073655.42281-2-guoqing.jiang@xxxxxxxxx/

2. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rdma/patch/20220215194448.44369-1-rpearsonhpe@xxxxxxxxx/

The above 2 links are why I used IRQ.
