This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled stackdepot: respect __GFP_NOLOCKDEP allocation flag to the 6.1-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: stackdepot-respect-__gfp_nolockdep-allocation-flag.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 6fe60465e1d53ea321ee909be26d97529e8f746c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2024 16:11:33 +0200 Subject: stackdepot: respect __GFP_NOLOCKDEP allocation flag From: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@xxxxxxxxx> commit 6fe60465e1d53ea321ee909be26d97529e8f746c upstream. If stack_depot_save_flags() allocates memory it always drops __GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag. So when KASAN tries to track __GFP_NOLOCKDEP allocation we may end up with lockdep splat like bellow: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.9.0-rc3+ #49 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/149 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88811346a920 (&xfs_nondir_ilock_class){++++}-{4:4}, at: xfs_reclaim_inode+0x3ac/0x590 [xfs] but task is already holding lock: ffffffff8bb33100 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: balance_pgdat+0x5d9/0xad0 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}: __lock_acquire+0x7da/0x1030 lock_acquire+0x15d/0x400 fs_reclaim_acquire+0xb5/0x100 prepare_alloc_pages.constprop.0+0xc5/0x230 __alloc_pages+0x12a/0x3f0 alloc_pages_mpol+0x175/0x340 stack_depot_save_flags+0x4c5/0x510 kasan_save_stack+0x30/0x40 kasan_save_track+0x10/0x30 __kasan_slab_alloc+0x83/0x90 kmem_cache_alloc+0x15e/0x4a0 __alloc_object+0x35/0x370 __create_object+0x22/0x90 __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x477/0x5b0 krealloc+0x5f/0x110 xfs_iext_insert_raw+0x4b2/0x6e0 [xfs] xfs_iext_insert+0x2e/0x130 [xfs] xfs_iread_bmbt_block+0x1a9/0x4d0 [xfs] xfs_btree_visit_block+0xfb/0x290 [xfs] xfs_btree_visit_blocks+0x215/0x2c0 [xfs] xfs_iread_extents+0x1a2/0x2e0 [xfs] xfs_buffered_write_iomap_begin+0x376/0x10a0 [xfs] iomap_iter+0x1d1/0x2d0 iomap_file_buffered_write+0x120/0x1a0 xfs_file_buffered_write+0x128/0x4b0 [xfs] vfs_write+0x675/0x890 ksys_write+0xc3/0x160 do_syscall_64+0x94/0x170 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79 Always preserve __GFP_NOLOCKDEP to fix this.
