Commit c77c0a8ac4c5 ("mm/hugetlb: defer freeing of huge pages if in
non-task context") was added to address the issue of free_huge_page being
called from irq context. That commit hands off free_huge_page processing
to a workqueue if !in_task. However, this doesn't cover all the cases as
pointed out by 0day bot lockdep report [1].
: Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
:
: CPU0 CPU1
: ---- ----
: lock(hugetlb_lock);
: local_irq_disable();
: lock(slock-AF_INET);
: lock(hugetlb_lock);
: <Interrupt>
: lock(slock-AF_INET);
Shakeel has later explained that this is very likely TCP TX zerocopy from
hugetlb pages scenario when the networking code drops a last reference to
hugetlb page while having IRQ disabled. Hugetlb freeing path doesn't
disable IRQ while holding hugetlb_lock so a lock dependency chain can lead
to a deadlock.
This commit addresses the issue by doing the following:
- Make hugetlb_lock irq safe. This is mostly a simple process of
changing spin_*lock calls to spin_*lock_irq* calls.
- Make subpool lock irq safe in a similar manner.
- Revert the !in_task check and workqueue handoff.

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.
