When running rcutorture with TREE03 config, CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y, and kernel cmdline argument "rcutorture.gp_exp=1", lockdep reports a HARDIRQ-safe->HARDIRQ-unsafe deadlock: ================================ WARNING: inconsistent lock state 4.16.0-rc4+ #1 Not tainted -------------------------------- inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} -> {HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage. takes: __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 {IN-HARDIRQ-W} state was registered at: _raw_spin_lock+0x2a/0x40 scheduler_tick+0x47/0xf0 ... other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&rq->lock); <Interrupt> lock(&rq->lock); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by rcu_torture_rea/724: rcu_torture_read_lock+0x0/0x70 stack backtrace: CPU: 2 PID: 724 Comm: rcu_torture_rea Not tainted 4.16.0-rc4+ #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.11.0-20171110_100015-anatol 04/01/2014 Call Trace: lock_acquire+0x90/0x200 ? __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 _raw_spin_lock+0x2a/0x40 ? __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 __schedule+0xbe/0xaf0 preempt_schedule_irq+0x2f/0x60 retint_kernel+0x1b/0x2d RIP: 0010:rcu_read_unlock_special+0x0/0x680 ? rcu_torture_read_unlock+0x60/0x60 __rcu_read_unlock+0x64/0x70 rcu_torture_read_unlock+0x17/0x60 rcu_torture_reader+0x275/0x450 ? rcutorture_booster_init+0x110/0x110 ? rcu_torture_stall+0x230/0x230 ? kthread+0x10e/0x130 kthread+0x10e/0x130 ? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x70/0x70 ? call_usermodehelper_exec_async+0x11a/0x150 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50 This happens with the following even sequence: preempt_schedule_irq(); local_irq_enable(); __schedule(): local_irq_disable(); // irq off ... rcu_note_context_switch(): rcu_note_preempt_context_switch(): rcu_read_unlock_special(): local_irq_save(flags); ... raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(...,flags); // irq remains off rt_mutex_futex_unlock(): raw_spin_lock_irq(); ... raw_spin_unlock_irq(); // accidentally set irq on <return to __schedule()> rq_lock(): raw_spin_lock(); // acquiring rq->lock with irq on which means rq->lock becomes a HARDIRQ-unsafe lock, which can cause deadlocks in scheduler code. This problem was introduced by commit 02a7c234e540 ("rcu: Suppress lockdep false-positive ->boost_mtx complaints"). That brought the user of rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off. To fix this, replace the *lock_irq() in rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with *lock_irq{save,restore}() to make it safe to call rt_mutex_futex_unlock() with irq off.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
