This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled IB/hfi1: Fix potential deadlock on &irq_src_lock and &dd->uctxt_lock to the 5.4-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: ib-hfi1-fix-potential-deadlock-on-irq_src_lock-and-d.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8665f66a553821a2a9f3406c883b1263de90984c Author: Chengfeng Ye <dg573847474@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 26 10:11:16 2023 +0000 IB/hfi1: Fix potential deadlock on &irq_src_lock and &dd->uctxt_lock [ Upstream commit 2f19c4b8395ccb6eb25ccafee883c8cfbe3fc193 ] handle_receive_interrupt_napi_sp() running inside interrupt handler could introduce inverse lock ordering between &dd->irq_src_lock and &dd->uctxt_lock, if read_mod_write() is preempted by the isr. [CPU0] | [CPU1] hfi1_ipoib_dev_open() | --> hfi1_netdev_enable_queues() | --> enable_queues(rx) | --> hfi1_rcvctrl() | --> set_intr_bits() | --> read_mod_write() | --> spin_lock(&dd->irq_src_lock) | | hfi1_poll() | --> poll_next() | --> spin_lock_irq(&dd->uctxt_lock) | | --> hfi1_rcvctrl() | --> set_intr_bits() | --> read_mod_write() | --> spin_lock(&dd->irq_src_lock) <interrupt> | --> handle_receive_interrupt_napi_sp() | --> set_all_fastpath() | --> hfi1_rcd_get_by_index() | --> spin_lock_irqsave(&dd->uctxt_lock) | This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing for irq-related deadlock. To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch use spin_lock_irqsave() on &dd->irq_src_lock inside read_mod_write() to prevent the possible deadlock scenario.
