Shuah Khan reported: | When CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y and CONFIG_KASAN are enabled, | kasan_record_aux_stack() runs into "BUG: Invalid wait context" when | it tries to allocate memory attempting to acquire spinlock in page | allocation code while holding workqueue pool raw_spinlock. | | There are several instances of this problem when block layer tries | to __queue_work(). Call trace from one of these instances is below: | | kblockd_mod_delayed_work_on() | mod_delayed_work_on() | __queue_delayed_work() | __queue_work() (rcu_read_lock, raw_spin_lock pool->lock held) | insert_work() | kasan_record_aux_stack() | kasan_save_stack() | stack_depot_save() | alloc_pages() | __alloc_pages() | get_page_from_freelist() | rm_queue() | rm_queue_pcplist() | local_lock_irqsave(&pagesets.lock, flags); | [ BUG: Invalid wait context triggered ] The default kasan_record_aux_stack() calls stack_depot_save() with GFP_NOWAIT, which in turn can then call alloc_pages(GFP_NOWAIT, ...). In general, however, it is not even possible to use either GFP_ATOMIC nor GFP_NOWAIT in certain non-preemptive contexts, including raw_spin_locks (see gfp.h and commmit ab00db216c9c7). Fix it by instructing stackdepot to not expand stack storage via alloc_pages() in case it runs out by using kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc(). While there is an increased risk of failing to insert the stack trace, this is typically unlikely, especially if the same insertion had already succeeded previously (stack depot hit). For frequent calls from the same location, it therefore becomes extremely unlikely that kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() fails.

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.
