[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Prateek Sood <prsood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit aa24163b2ee5c92120e32e99b5a93143a0f4258e upstream.

Remove circular dependency deadlock in a scenario where hotplug of CPU is
being done while there is updation in cgroup and cpuset triggered from
userspace.

Process A => kthreadd => Process B => Process C => Process A

Process A
cpu_subsys_offline();
  cpu_down();
    _cpu_down();
      percpu_down_write(&cpu_hotplug_lock); //held
      cpuhp_invoke_callback();
	     workqueue_offline_cpu();
            queue_work_on(); // unbind_work on system_highpri_wq
               __queue_work();
                 insert_work();
                    wake_up_worker();
            flush_work();
               wait_for_completion();

worker_thread();
   manage_workers();
      create_worker();
	     kthread_create_on_node();
		    wake_up_process(kthreadd_task);

kthreadd
kthreadd();
  kernel_thread();
    do_fork();
      copy_process();
        percpu_down_read(&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem);
          __rwsem_down_read_failed_common(); //waiting

Process B
kernfs_fop_write();
  cgroup_file_write();
    cgroup_procs_write();
      percpu_down_write(&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem); //held
      cgroup_attach_task();
        cgroup_migrate();
          cgroup_migrate_execute();
            cpuset_can_attach();
              mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex); //waiting

Process C
kernfs_fop_write();
  cgroup_file_write();
    cpuset_write_resmask();
      mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex); //held
      update_cpumask();
        update_cpumasks_hier();
          rebuild_sched_domains_locked();
            get_online_cpus();
              percpu_down_read(&cpu_hotplug_lock); //waiting

Eliminating deadlock by reversing the locking order for cpuset_mutex and
cpu_hotplug_lock.
