rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently, this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy. By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all() enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to grap nrp->lock. Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we switch over to swait. If we would hold the rnp->lock and use swait, lockdep reports following: ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 4.2.0-rc5-00025-g9a73ba0 #136 Not tainted --------------------------------- inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage. rcu_preempt/8 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (rcu_node_1){+.?...}, at: [<ffffffff811387c7>] rcu_gp_kthread+0xb97/0xeb0 {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} state was registered at: [<ffffffff81109b9f>] __lock_acquire+0xd5f/0x21e0 [<ffffffff8110be0f>] lock_acquire+0xdf/0x2b0 [<ffffffff81841cc9>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x59/0xa0 [<ffffffff81136991>] rcu_process_callbacks+0x141/0x3c0 [<ffffffff810b1a9d>] __do_softirq+0x14d/0x670 [<ffffffff810b2214>] irq_exit+0x104/0x110 [<ffffffff81844e96>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x46/0x60 [<ffffffff81842e70>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x70/0x80 [<ffffffff810dba66>] rq_attach_root+0xa6/0x100 [<ffffffff810dbc2d>] cpu_attach_domain+0x16d/0x650 [<ffffffff810e4b42>] build_sched_domains+0x942/0xb00 [<ffffffff821777c2>] sched_init_smp+0x509/0x5c1 [<ffffffff821551e3>] kernel_init_freeable+0x172/0x28f [<ffffffff8182cdce>] kernel_init+0xe/0xe0 [<ffffffff8184231f>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 irq event stamp: 76 hardirqs last enabled at (75): [<ffffffff81841330>] _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x30/0x60 hardirqs last disabled at (76): [<ffffffff8184116f>] _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x1f/0x90 softirqs last enabled at (0): [<ffffffff810a8df2>] copy_process.part.26+0x602/0x1cf0 softirqs last disabled at (0): [< (null)>] (null) other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(rcu_node_1); <Interrupt> lock(rcu_node_1); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by rcu_preempt/8: #0: (rcu_node_1){+.?...}, at: [<ffffffff811387c7>] rcu_gp_kthread+0xb97/0xeb0 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 8 Comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted 4.2.0-rc5-00025-g9a73ba0 #136 Hardware name: Dell Inc.
