This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled rcu: Break rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock order to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rcu-break-rcu_node_0-rq-__lock-order.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0e1e7911cf400c7f6ba161b4d3b87e9170ce450d Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 31 09:53:08 2023 +0100 rcu: Break rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock order [ Upstream commit 85d68222ddc5f4522e456d97d201166acb50f716 ] Commit 851a723e45d1 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in do_set_cpus_allowed()") added a kfree() call to free any user provided affinity mask, if present. It was changed later to use kfree_rcu() in commit 9a5418bc48ba ("sched/core: Use kfree_rcu() in do_set_cpus_allowed()") to avoid a circular locking dependency problem. It turns out that even kfree_rcu() isn't safe for avoiding circular locking problem. As reported by kernel test robot, the following circular locking dependency now exists: &rdp->nocb_lock --> rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock Solve this by breaking the rcu_node_0 --> &rq->__lock chain by moving the resched_cpu() out from under rcu_node lock.
