Subject: fix acct_collect() siglock bug
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
the lock validator noticed the following bug:
=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/0 just changed the state of lock:
(tasklist_lock){..-?}, at: [<c01247c8>] send_group_sig_info+0xe/0x2f
but this lock took another, soft-irq-unsafe lock in the past:
(&sighand->siglock){--..}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
...
-> (init_sighand.siglock){....} ops: 18 {
...
hardirq-on-W at:
[<c0130577>] lock_acquire+0x56/0x73
[<c03ec59c>] _spin_lock+0x24/0x32
[<c01374bd>] acct_collect+0x81/0x115
[<c011b4fa>] do_exit+0x19a/0x7b3
[<c01273ce>] ____call_usermodehelper+0xdf/0xe1
[<c01007f1>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb
it turns out that acct_collect() takes current->sighand->siglock with
interrupts enabled - a big no-no. Fix it by disabling interrupts.
