The patch titled Subject: mm, slub: fix memory and cpu hotplug related lock ordering issues has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-slub-move-flush_cpu_slab-invocations-__free_slab-invocations-out-of-irq-context-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-slub-move-flush_cpu_slab-invocations-__free_slab-invocations-out-of-irq-context.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm, slub: fix memory and cpu hotplug related lock ordering issues Qian Cai reported [1] a lockdep splat on memory offline. [ 91.374541] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [ 91.381411] 5.14.0-rc5-next-20210809+ #84 Not tainted [ 91.387149] ------------------------------------------------------ [ 91.394016] lsbug/1523 is trying to acquire lock: [ 91.399406] ffff800018e76530 (flush_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: flush_all+0x50/0x1c8 [ 91.407425] but task is already holding lock: [ 91.414638] ffff800018e48468 (slab_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: slab_memory_callback+0x44/0x280 [ 91.423603] which lock already depends on the new lock. To fix it, we need to change the order in flush_all() so that cpus_read_lock() is first and mutex_lock(&flush_lock) second. Also when called from slab_mem_going_offline_callback() we are already under cpus_read_lock() and cannot take it again, so create a flush_all_cpus_locked() variant and decouple flushing from actual shrinking for this call path. Additionally, Mike Galbraith reported [2] wrong order of cpus_read_lock() and slab_mutex in kmem_cache_destroy() path and proposed a fix to reverse it.
