Fix false positive by LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE

Fix false positive by LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE

[Byungchul Park]

Several false positives were reported, so I tried to fix them.

It would be appreciated if you tell me if it works as expected, or let
me know your opinion.

Thank you,
Byungchul

[RESEND PATCH 1/3] completion: Add support for initializing completion with lockdep_map

[Byungchul Park]

Sometimes, we want to initialize completions with sparate lockdep maps
to assign lock classes under control. For example, the workqueue code
manages lockdep maps, as it can classify lockdep maps properly.
Provided a function for that purpose.

[RESEND PATCH 2/3] lockdep: Remove unnecessary acquisitions wrt workqueue flush

[Byungchul Park]

The workqueue added manual acquisitions to catch deadlock cases.
Now crossrelease was introduced, some of those are redundant, since
wait_for_completion() already includes the acquisition for itself.
Removed it.

The warning is a false positive, caused by the fact that all
wait_for_completion()s in submit_bio_wait() are waiting with the same
lock class.

However, some bios have nothing to do with others, for example, the case
might happen while using loop devices, between bios of an upper device
and a lower device(=loop device).

The safest way to assign different lock classes to different devices is
to do it for each gendisk. In other words, this patch assigns a
lockdep_map per gendisk and uses it when initializing completion in
submit_bio_wait().

Of course, it might be too conservative. But, making it safest for now
and extended by block layer experts later is good, atm.

The warning is a false positive, caused by the fact that all
wait_for_completion()s in submit_bio_wait() are waiting with the same
lock class.

However, some bios have nothing to do with others, for example, the case
might happen while using loop devices, between bios of an upper device
and a lower device(=loop device).

The safest way to assign different lock classes to different devices is
to do it for each gendisk. In other words, this patch assigns a
lockdep_map per gendisk and uses it when initializing completion in
submit_bio_wait().

Of course, it might be too conservative. But, making it safest for now
and extended by block layer experts later is good, atm.

What I have been wondering about is whether the crosslock checking makes
sense from a conceptual point of view. I tried to find documentation for the
crosslock checking in Documentation/locking/lockdep-design.txt but
couldn't find a description of the crosslock checking. Shouldn't it be
documented somewhere what the crosslock checks do and what the theory is
behind these checks?

That document is incomplete. It does not mention that although it can be
proven that the traditional lock validation code won't produce false
positives, that the cross-release checks do not have a solid theoretical
foundation and are prone to produce false positive reports.

Are there any completion objects for which the cross-release checking is
useful? Are there any wait_for_completion() callers that hold a mutex or
other locking object?

Check /proc/lockdep, then you can find all dependencies wrt cross-lock.
I named a lock class of wait_for_completion(), a sting starting with
"(complete)".

For example, in my machine:

console_lock -> (complete)&req.done
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem -> (complete)&st->done_up
cpuhp_state_mutex -> (complete)&st->done_up

and so on.

Yes, there are also cross completion dependencies. There have been such
bugs and I expect more to be unearthed.

I really have to ask what your motiviation is to fight the lockdep coverage
of synchronization objects tooth and nail?

Sorry but I'm not sure that's the best possible answer. In my opinion
avoiding that completion objects have dependencies on other lock objects,
e.g. by avoiding to wait on a completion object while holding a mutex, is a
far superior strategy over adding cross-release checking to completion
objects. The former strategy namely makes it unnecessary to add
cross-release checking to completion objects because that strategy ensures
that these completion objects cannot get involved in a deadlock. The latter
strategy can lead to false positive deadlock reports by the lockdep code,
something none of us wants.

A possible alternative strategy could be to enable cross-release checking
only for those completion objects for which waiting occurs inside a critical
section.

As explained in another e-mail thread, unlike the lock inversion checking
performed by the <= v4.13 lockdep code, cross-release checking is a heuristic
that does not have a sound theoretical basis. The lock validator is an
important tool for kernel developers. It is important that it produces as few
false positives as possible. Since the cross-release checks are enabled
automatically when enabling lockdep, I think it is normal that I, as a kernel
developer, care that the cross-release checks produce as few false positives
as possible.

Bart.

It's true if we force it. But do you think it's possible?

What do you think false positives come from? It comes from assigning
lock classes falsely where we should more care, rather than lockdep code
itself. The same is applicable to cross-release.

Of course, it already did. Cross-release doesn't consider any waiting
outside of critical sections at all, and it should do.

It's not heuristic but based on the same theoretical basis as <=4.13
lockdep. I mean, the key basis is:

   1) What causes deadlock
   2) What is a dependency
   3) Build a dependency when identified

No doubt. That's why I proposed these patches.

Sorry but I doubt that that statement is correct. The publication [1] contains
a proof that an algorithm that is closely related to the traditional lockdep
lock inversion detector is able to detect all deadlocks and does not report
false positives for programs that only use mutexes as synchronization objects.
The comment of the authors of that paper for programs that use mutexes,
condition variables and semaphores is as follows: "It is unclear how to extend
the lock-graph-based algorithm in Section 3 to efficiently consider the effects
of condition variables and semaphores. Therefore, when considering all three
synchronization mechanisms, we currently use a naive algorithm that checks each
feasible permutation of the trace for deadlock." In other words, if you have
found an approach for detecting potential deadlocks for programs that use these
three kinds of synchronization objects and that does not report false positives
then that's a breakthrough that's worth publishing in a journal or in the
proceedings of a scientific conference.

IMHO, the paper is talking about totally different things wrt
deadlocks by wait_for_event/event, that is, lost events.

Furthermore, it doesn't rely on dependencies itself, but just lock
ordering 'case by case', which is a subset of the more general concept.

I want to ask you. What makes false positives avoidable in the paper?

Right. The paper seems to use a naive algorigm for that cases, not
replying on dependencies, which they should.

Please, point out logical problems of cross-release than saying it's
impossbile according to the paper. I think you'd better understand how
cross-release works *first*. I'll do my best to help you do.

Please reread the paper title. The authors of the paper explain that their algorithm
can detect lost events but the most significant contribution of the paper is deadlock
detection.

The algorithm used to detect deadlocks. That algorithm has been explained clearly
in the paper.

Isn't that the same? If it's impossible to use lock-graphs for detecting deadlocks
in programs that use mutexes, semaphores and condition variables without triggering
false positives that means that every approach that tries to detect deadlocks and
that is based on lock graphs, including cross-release, must report false positives
for certain programs.

Right. That's why I'm currently trying to assign lock classes properly
where false positives were reported. You seems to say there is another
cause of false positives. If yes, please let me know what it is. If you
do with an example, it would be more helpful for me to understand you.
