From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit c018db4a57f3e31a9cb24d528e9f094eda89a499 upstream. Ammar reports that he's seeing a lockdep splat on running test/rsrc_tags from the regression suite: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.14.0-rc3-bluetea-test-00249-gc7d102232649 #5 Tainted: G OE ------------------------------------------------------ kworker/2:4/2684 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88814bb1c0a8 (&ctx->uring_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0 but task is already holding lock: ffffc90001c6be70 ((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1bc/0x530 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 ((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}: __flush_work+0x31b/0x490 io_rsrc_ref_quiesce.part.0.constprop.0+0x35/0xb0 __do_sys_io_uring_register+0x45b/0x1060 do_syscall_64+0x35/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae -> #0 (&ctx->uring_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}: __lock_acquire+0x119a/0x1e10 lock_acquire+0xc8/0x2f0 __mutex_lock+0x86/0x740 io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0 process_one_work+0x236/0x530 worker_thread+0x52/0x3b0 kthread+0x135/0x160 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work)); lock(&ctx->uring_lock); lock((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work)); lock(&ctx->uring_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** 2 locks held by kworker/2:4/2684: #0: ffff88810004d938 ((wq_completion)events){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1bc/0x530 #1: ffffc90001c6be70 ((work_completion)(&(&ctx->rsrc_put_work)->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work+0x1bc/0x530 stack backtrace: CPU: 2 PID: 2684 Comm: kworker/2:4 Tainted: G OE 5.14.0-rc3-bluetea-test-00249-gc7d102232649 #5 Hardware name: Acer Aspire ES1-421/OLVIA_BE, BIOS V1.05 07/02/2015 Workqueue: events io_rsrc_put_work Call Trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x6a/0x9a check_noncircular+0xfe/0x110 __lock_acquire+0x119a/0x1e10 lock_acquire+0xc8/0x2f0 ? io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0 __mutex_lock+0x86/0x740 ? io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0 ? io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0 ? io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0 ? process_one_work+0x1ce/0x530 io_rsrc_put_work+0x13d/0x1a0 process_one_work+0x236/0x530 worker_thread+0x52/0x3b0 ? process_one_work+0x530/0x530 kthread+0x135/0x160 ? set_kthread_struct+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 which is due to holding the ctx->uring_lock when flushing existing pending work, while the pending work flushing may need to grab the uring lock if we're using IOPOLL. Fix this by dropping the uring_lock a bit earlier as part of the flush.
