The address list is freed under RCU and at this time,\nit puts the refs on those peers.\n\nNow, when an rxrpc_peer object runs out of refs, it gets removed from the\npeer hash table and, for that, rxrpc has to take a spinlock. However, it\nis now being called from afs's RCU cleanup, which takes place in BH\ncontext - but it is just taking an ordinary spinlock.\n\nThe put may also be called from non-BH context, and so there exists the\npossibility of deadlock if the BH-based RCU cleanup happens whilst the hash\nspinlock is held. This led to the attached lockdep complaint.\n\nFix this by changing spinlocks of rxnet->peer_hash_lock back to\nBH-disabling locks.\n\n ================================\n WARNING: inconsistent lock state\n 6.13.0-rc5-build2+ #1223 Tainted: G E\n --------------------------------\n inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.\n swapper/1/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE1:SE0] takes:\n ffff88810babe228 (&rxnet->peer_hash_lock){+.?.}-{3:3}, at: rxrpc_put_peer+0xcb/0x180\n {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at:\n mark_usage+0x164/0x180\n __lock_acquire+0x544/0x990\n lock_acquire.part.0+0x103/0x280\n _raw_spin_lock+0x2f/0x40\n rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker+0x144/0x440\n process_one_work+0x486/0x7c0\n process_scheduled_works+0x73/0x90\n worker_thread+0x1c8/0x2a0\n kthread+0x19b/0x1b0\n ret_from_fork+0x24/0x40\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n irq event stamp: 972402\n hardirqs last enabled at (972402): [] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2e/0x50\n hardirqs last disabled at (972401): [] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x18/0x60\n softirqs last enabled at (972300): [] handle_softirqs+0x3ee/0x430\n softirqs last disabled at (972313): [] __irq_exit_rcu+0x44/0x110\n\n other info that might help us debug this:\n Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n CPU0\n ----\n lock(&rxnet->peer_hash_lock);\n \n lock(&rxnet->peer_hash_lock);\n\n *** DEADLOCK ***\n 1 lock held by swapper/1/0:\n #0: ffffffff83576be0 (rcu_callback){....}-{0:0}, at: rcu_lock_acquire+0x7/0x30\n\n stack backtrace:\n CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Tainted: G E 6.13.0-rc5-build2+ #1223\n Tainted: [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE\n Hardware name: ASUS All Series/H97-PLUS, BIOS 2306 10/09/2014\n Call Trace:\n \n dump_stack_lvl+0x57/0x80\n print_usage_bug.part.0+0x227/0x240\n valid_state+0x53/0x70\n mark_lock_irq+0xa5/0x2f0\n mark_lock+0xf7/0x170\n mark_usage+0xe1/0x180\n __lock_acquire+0x544/0x990\n lock_acquire.part.0+0x103/0x280\n _raw_spin_lock+0x2f/0x40\n rxrpc_put_peer+0xcb/0x180\n afs_free_addrlist+0x46/0x90 [kafs]\n rcu_do_batch+0x2d2/0x640\n rcu_core+0x2f7/0x350\n handle_softirqs+0x1ee/0x430\n __irq_exit_rcu+0x44/0x110\n irq_exit_rcu+0xa/0x30\n sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x7f/0xa0\n ", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "72904d7b9bfbf2dd146254edea93958bc35bbbfe", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "10ba5a3d57af20e494e0d979d1894260989235dd" }, { "version": "72904d7b9bfbf2dd146254edea93958bc35bbbfe", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "0e77dd41689637ac4e1b8fe0f27541f373640855" }, { "version": "72904d7b9bfbf2dd146254edea93958bc35bbbfe", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "79d458c13056559d49b5e41fbc4b6890e68cf65b" }, { "version": "056fc740be000d39a7dba700a935f3bbfbc664e6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6.7.3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "6.8" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "6.8", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "6.8" }, { "version": "6.12.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.13.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.13.*" }, { "version": "6.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
