It is claimed that srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() NMI-safe. However it triggers a lockdep if used from NMI because lockdep expects a deadlock since nothing disables NMIs while the lock is acquired. Use a try-lock annotation for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() to avoid lockdep complains if used from NMI.

This would distinguish it from from non-NMI safe srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and NMI check in rcu_read_unlock() is only there to survive if accidentally used in-NMI. include/linux/rcupdate.h | 6 ++++++ include/linux/srcu.h | 2 +- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/rcupdate.h b/include/linux/rcupdate.h index 5e5f920ade909..44aab5c0bd2c1 100644 --- a/include/linux/rcupdate.h +++ b/include/linux/rcupdate.h @@ -303,6 +303,11 @@ static inline void rcu_lock_acquire(struct lockdep_map *map) lock_acquire(map, 0, 0, 2, 0, NULL, _THIS_IP_); } +static inline void rcu_try_lock_acquire(struct lockdep_map *map) +{ + lock_acquire(map, 0, 1, 2, 0, NULL, _THIS_IP_); +} + static inline void rcu_lock_release(struct lockdep_map *map) { lock_release(map, _THIS_IP_); @@ -317,6 +322,7 @@ int rcu_read_lock_any_held(void); #else /* #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC */ # define rcu_lock_acquire(a) do { } while (0) +# define rcu_try_lock_acquire(a) do { } while (0) # define rcu_lock_release(a) do { } while (0) static inline int rcu_read_lock_held(void) diff --git a/include/linux/srcu.h b/include/linux/srcu.h index 127ef3b2e6073..236610e4a8fa5 100644 --- a/include/linux/srcu.h +++ b/include/linux/srcu.h @@ -229,7 +229,7 @@ static inline int srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(struct srcu_struct *ssp) __acquires(ssp srcu_check_nmi_safety(ssp, true); retval = __srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(ssp); - rcu_lock_acquire(&ssp->dep_map); + rcu_try_lock_acquire(&ssp->dep_map); return retval; } -- 2.40.1
