So I've been looking at these local_lock vs lockdep splats for a bit,
and unlike the IRQ inversions as reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-usb/20201029174348.omqiwjqy64tebg5z@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
I think the above is an actual real problem (for RT).
AFAICT the above translates to:
inet_listen()
lock_sock()
spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_lock.slock);
acquire(softirq_ctrl);
acquire(&sk->sk_lock.slock);
inet_csk_listen_start()
sk->sk_prot->hash() := inet_hash()
local_bh_disable()
__inet_hash()
spin_lock(&ilb->lock);
acquire(&ilb->lock);
----
tcp4_seq_next()
listening_get_next()
spin_lock(&ilb->lock);
acquire(&ilb->lock);
tcp4_seq_show()
get_tcp4_sock()
sock_i_ino()
read_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock);
acquire(softirq_ctrl) // <---- whoops
acquire(&sk->sk_callback_lock)
Which you can run in two tasks on the same CPU (and thus get the same
softirq_ctrl local_lock), and deadlock.
By holding softirq_ctrl we serialize against softirq-context
(in-softirq) but that isn't relevant here, since neither context is
that.
On !RT there isn't a problem because softirq_ctrl isn't an actual lock,
but the moment that turns into a real lock (like on RT) you're up a
creek.
In general we have the rule that as long as a lock is only ever used
from task context (like the above ilb->lock, afaict) then it doesn't
matter if you also take it with (soft)irqs disabled or not. But this
softirq scheme breaks that. If you ever take a lock with BH disabled,
you must now always take it with BH disabled, otherwise you risk
deadlocks against the softirq_ctrl lock.
Or am I missing something obvious (again) ?
