6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Daniel Vacek <neelx@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4f973e211b3b1c6d36f7c6a19239d258856749f9 ] Releasing the `priv->lock` while iterating the `priv->multicast_list` in `ipoib_mcast_join_task()` opens a window for `ipoib_mcast_dev_flush()` to remove the items while in the middle of iteration. If the mcast is removed while the lock was dropped, the for loop spins forever resulting in a hard lockup (as was reported on RHEL 4.18.0-372.75.1.el8_6 kernel): Task A (kworker/u72:2 below) | Task B (kworker/u72:0 below) -----------------------------------+----------------------------------- ipoib_mcast_join_task(work) | ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light(work) spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock) | __ipoib_ib_dev_flush(priv, ...) list_for_each_entry(mcast, | ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(dev = priv->dev) &priv->multicast_list, list) | ipoib_mcast_join(dev, mcast) | spin_unlock_irq(&priv->lock) | | spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags) | list_for_each_entry_safe(mcast, tmcast, | &priv->multicast_list, list) | list_del(&mcast->list); | list_add_tail(&mcast->list, &remove_list) | spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags) spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock) | | ipoib_mcast_remove_list(&remove_list) (Here, `mcast` is no longer on the | list_for_each_entry_safe(mcast, tmcast, `priv->multicast_list` and we keep | remove_list, list) spinning on the `remove_list` of | >>> wait_for_completion(&mcast->done) the other thread which is blocked | and the list is still valid on | it's stack.) Fix this by keeping the lock held and changing to GFP_ATOMIC to prevent eventual sleeps. Unfortunately we could not reproduce the lockup and confirm this fix but based on the code review I think this fix should address such lockups. crash> bc 31 PID: 747 TASK: ff1c6a1a007e8000 CPU: 31 COMMAND: "kworker/u72:2" -- [exception RIP: ipoib_mcast_join_task+0x1b1] RIP: ffffffffc0944ac1 RSP: ff646f199a8c7e00 RFLAGS: 00000002 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ff1c6a1a04dc82f8 RCX: 0000000000000000 work (&priv->mcast_task{,.work}) RDX: ff1c6a192d60ac68 RSI: 0000000000000286 RDI: ff1c6a1a04dc8000 &mcast->list RBP: ff646f199a8c7e90 R8: ff1c699980019420 R9: ff1c6a1920c9a000 R10: ff646f199a8c7e00 R11: ff1c6a191a7d9800 R12: ff1c6a192d60ac00 mcast R13: ff1c6a1d82200000 R14: ff1c6a1a04dc8000 R15: ff1c6a1a04dc82d8 dev priv (&priv->lock) &priv->multicast_list (aka head) ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c b/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c index 9e6967a40042..319d4288eddd 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_multicast.c @@ -531,21 +531,17 @@ static int ipoib_mcast_join(struct net_device *dev, struct ipoib_mcast *mcast) if (test_bit(IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_SENDONLY, &mcast->flags)) rec.join_state = SENDONLY_FULLMEMBER_JOIN; } - spin_unlock_irq(&priv->lock); multicast = ib_sa_join_multicast(&ipoib_sa_client, priv->ca, priv->port, - &rec, comp_mask, GFP_KERNEL, + &rec, comp_mask, GFP_ATOMIC, ipoib_mcast_join_complete, mcast); - spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock); if (IS_ERR(multicast)) { ret = PTR_ERR(multicast); ipoib_warn(priv, "ib_sa_join_multicast failed, status %d\n", ret); /* Requeue this join task with a backoff delay */ __ipoib_mcast_schedule_join_thread(priv, mcast, 1); clear_bit(IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY, &mcast->flags); - spin_unlock_irq(&priv->lock); complete(&mcast->done); - spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock); return ret; } return 0; -- 2.43.0
