From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/slub.c: run free_partial() outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock With debugobjects enabled and using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, when a kmem_cache_node is destroyed the call_rcu() may trigger a slab allocation to fill the debug object pool (__debug_object_init:fill_pool). Everywhere but during kmem_cache_destroy(), discard_slab() is performed outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock and avoids a lockdep warning about potential recursion: [ 138.850350] ============================================= [ 138.850352] [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] [ 138.850355] 4.8.0-rc1-gfxbench+ #1 Tainted: G U [ 138.850357] --------------------------------------------- [ 138.850359] rmmod/8895 is trying to acquire lock: [ 138.850360] (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff811c80d7>] get_partial_node.isra.63+0x47/0x430 [ 138.850368] but task is already holding lock: [ 138.850371] (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff811cbda4>] __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x54/0x320 [ 138.850376] other info that might help us debug this: [ 138.850378] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 138.850380] CPU0 [ 138.850381] ---- [ 138.850382] lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock); [ 138.850385] lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock); [ 138.850387] *** DEADLOCK *** [ 138.850391] May be due to missing lock nesting notation [ 138.850395] 5 locks held by rmmod/8895: [ 138.850397] #0: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff8156ce32>] driver_detach+0x42/0xc0 [ 138.850404] #1: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff8156ce40>] driver_detach+0x50/0xc0 [ 138.850410] #2: (cpu_hotplug.dep_map){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8107d65d>] get_online_cpus+0x2d/0x80 [ 138.850418] #3: (slab_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff811964ec>] kmem_cache_destroy+0x3c/0x220 [ 138.850424] #4: (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff811cbda4>] __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x54/0x320 [ 138.850431] stack backtrace: [ 138.850435] CPU: 6 PID: 8895 Comm: rmmod Tainted: G U 4.8.0-rc1-gfxbench+ #1 [ 138.850439] Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
