commit 8d1ddb5e79374fb277985a6b3faa2ed8631c5b4c upstream. Syzbot reports a potential deadlock found by the newly added recursive read deadlock detection in lockdep: [...] ======================================================== [...] WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected [...] 5.9.0-rc2-syzkaller #0 Not tainted [...] -------------------------------------------------------- [...] syz-executor.1/10214 just changed the state of lock: [...] ffff88811f506338 (&f->f_owner.lock){.+..}-{2:2}, at: send_sigurg+0x1d/0x200 [...] but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock in the past: [...] (&dev->event_lock){-...}-{2:2} [...] [...] [...] and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them. [...] [...] [...] other info that might help us debug this: [...] Chain exists of: [...] &dev->event_lock --> &new->fa_lock --> &f->f_owner.lock [...] [...] Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: [...] [...] CPU0 CPU1 [...] ---- ---- [...] lock(&f->f_owner.lock); [...] local_irq_disable(); [...] lock(&dev->event_lock); [...] lock(&new->fa_lock); [...] <Interrupt> [...] lock(&dev->event_lock); [...] [...] *** DEADLOCK *** The corresponding deadlock case is as followed: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 read_lock(&fown->lock); spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock, ...) write_lock_irq(&filp->f_owner.lock); // wait for the lock read_lock(&fown-lock); // have to wait until the writer release // due to the fairness <interrupted> spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock); // wait for the lock The lock dependency on CPU 1 happens if there exists a call sequence: input_inject_event(): spin_lock_irqsave(&dev->event_lock,...); input_handle_event(): input_pass_values(): input_to_handler(): handler->event(): // evdev_event() evdev_pass_values(): spin_lock(&client->buffer_lock); __pass_event(): kill_fasync(): kill_fasync_rcu(): read_lock(&fa->fa_lock); send_sigio(): read_lock(&fown->lock); To fix this, make the reader in send_sigurg() and send_sigio() use read_lock_irqsave() and read_lock_irqrestore().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
