Is this new to 4.15? Or is it just that you're testing something new?

If it's new and easy to repro, can you just bisect it? And if it isn't
new, can you perhaps check whether it's new to 4.14 (ie 4.13 being
ok)?

Because that fs_reclaim_acquire/release() debugging isn't new to 4.15,
but it was rewritten for 4.14.. I'm wondering if that remodeling ended
up triggering something.

Adding PeterZ to the participants list in case he has ideas. I'm not
seeing what would be the problem in that call chain from hell.

Both traces are identical and no fs locks held? And therefore,
doing GFP_KERNEL allocation should be safe (as long as there is
PF_MEMALLOC safeguard which prevents infinite recursion), isn't it?

Then, I think that "git bisect" should reach commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13
("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation").

Both traces are identical and no fs locks held? And therefore,
doing GFP_KERNEL allocation should be safe (as long as there is
PF_MEMALLOC safeguard which prevents infinite recursion), isn't it?

Then, I think that "git bisect" should reach commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13
("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation").

Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN
to gfp_mask, __need_fs_reclaim() is failing to return false here.

But why checking __GFP_NOMEMALLOC here? __alloc_pages_slowpath() skips direct
reclaim if !(gfp_mask & __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) or (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC),
doesn't it?

Since no fs locks are held, doing GFP_KERNEL allocation should be safe
as long as there is PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (

  /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
  if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
          goto nopage;

) which prevents infinite recursion.

This warning seems to be caused by commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13
("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") which moved the
location of

  /* this guy won't enter reclaim */
  if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
          return false;

check added by commit cf40bd16fdad42c0 ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)"). Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, __need_fs_reclaim() is
failing to return false despite PF_MEMALLOC context (and resulted in
lockdep warning).

Since there was no PF_MEMALLOC safeguard as of cf40bd16fdad42c0, checking
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC might make sense. But since this safeguard was added by
commit 341ce06f69abfafa ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for
allocation only once"), checking __GFP_NOMEMALLOC no longer makes sense.
Thus, let's remove __GFP_NOMEMALLOC check and allow __need_fs_reclaim() to
return false.

Since no fs locks are held, doing GFP_KERNEL allocation should be safe
as long as there is PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (

  /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
  if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
          goto nopage;

) which prevents infinite recursion.

This warning seems to be caused by commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13
("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") which moved the
location of

  /* this guy won't enter reclaim */
  if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
          return false;

check added by commit cf40bd16fdad42c0 ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)"). Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, __need_fs_reclaim() is
failing to return false despite PF_MEMALLOC context (and resulted in
lockdep warning).

Since there was no PF_MEMALLOC safeguard as of cf40bd16fdad42c0, checking
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC might make sense. But since this safeguard was added by
commit 341ce06f69abfafa ("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for
allocation only once"), checking __GFP_NOMEMALLOC no longer makes sense.
Thus, let's remove __GFP_NOMEMALLOC check and allow __need_fs_reclaim() to
return false.

I'm not entirly sure I get what you mean here. How did I move it? It was
part of lockdep_trace_alloc(), if __GFP_NOMEMALLOC was set, it would not
mark the lock as held.

The new code has it in fs_reclaim_acquire/release to the same effect, if
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC, we'll not acquire/release the lock.

But that's correct right, __GFP_NOMEMALLOC should negate PF_MEMALLOC.
That's what the name says.

This does not in fact explain what's going on, it just points to
'random' patches.

Are you talking about this:

+       /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
+       if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
+               goto nopage;

I'm _really_ uncomfortable doing that. Esp. without a solid explanation
of how this raelly can't possibly lead to trouble. Which the above semi
incoherent rambling is not.

Your backtrace shows the btrfs shrinker doing an allocation, that's the
exact kind of thing we need to be extremely careful with.

d92a8cfcb37ecd13 replaced lockdep_set_current_reclaim_state() with
fs_reclaim_acquire(), and removed current->lockdep_recursion handling.

Excuse me, but I can't catch.
We currently acquire/release __fs_reclaim_map if __GFP_NOMEMALLOC.

----------
+static bool __need_fs_reclaim(gfp_t gfp_mask)

(...snipped...)

__GFP_NOMEMALLOC negates PF_MEMALLOC regarding what watermark that allocation
request should use.

----------
static inline int __gfp_pfmemalloc_flags(gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
        if (unlikely(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
                return 0;
        if (gfp_mask & __GFP_MEMALLOC)
                return ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS;
        if (in_serving_softirq() && (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC))
                return ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS;
        if (!in_interrupt()) {
                if (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
                        return ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS;
                else if (oom_reserves_allowed(current))
                        return ALLOC_OOM;
        }

        return 0;
}
----------

But at the same time, PF_MEMALLOC negates __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.

----------
        /* Attempt with potentially adjusted zonelist and alloc_flags */
        page = get_page_from_freelist(gfp_mask, order, alloc_flags, ac);
        if (page)
                goto got_pg;

        /* Caller is not willing to reclaim, we can't balance anything */
        if (!can_direct_reclaim)
                goto nopage;

        /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
        if (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
                goto nopage;

        /* Try direct reclaim and then allocating */
        page = __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim(gfp_mask, order, alloc_flags, ac,
                                                        &did_some_progress);
        if (page)
                goto got_pg;

        /* Try direct compaction and then allocating */
        page = __alloc_pages_direct_compact(gfp_mask, order, alloc_flags, ac,
                                        compact_priority, &compact_result);
        if (page)
                goto got_pg;

        /* Do not loop if specifically requested */
        if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY)
                goto nopage;
----------

Then, how can fs_reclaim contribute to deadlock?

If btrfs is already holding some lock (and thus __GFP_FS is not safe),
that lock must be printed at

  2 locks held by sshd/24800:
   #0:  (sk_lock-AF_INET6){+.+.}, at: [<000000001a069652>] tcp_sendmsg+0x19/0x40
   #1:  (fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: [<0000000084f438c2>] fs_reclaim_acquire.part.102+0x5/0x30

doesn't it? But sk_lock-AF_INET6 is not a FS lock, and fs_reclaim does not
actually lock something.

Excuse me, but I can't catch.
We currently acquire/release __fs_reclaim_map if __GFP_NOMEMALLOC.

----------
+static bool __need_fs_reclaim(gfp_t gfp_mask)
+{
(...snipped...)
+       /* this guy won't enter reclaim */
+       if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
+               return false;
(...snipped...)
+}

__GFP_NOMEMALLOC negates PF_MEMALLOC regarding what watermark that allocation
request should use.

----------
static inline int __gfp_pfmemalloc_flags(gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
        if (unlikely(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
                return 0;
        if (gfp_mask & __GFP_MEMALLOC)
                return ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS;
        if (in_serving_softirq() && (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC))
                return ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS;
        if (!in_interrupt()) {
                if (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
                        return ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS;
                else if (oom_reserves_allowed(current))
                        return ALLOC_OOM;
        }

        return 0;
}
----------

But at the same time, PF_MEMALLOC negates __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.

----------
        /* Attempt with potentially adjusted zonelist and alloc_flags */
        page = get_page_from_freelist(gfp_mask, order, alloc_flags, ac);
        if (page)
                goto got_pg;

        /* Caller is not willing to reclaim, we can't balance anything */
        if (!can_direct_reclaim)
                goto nopage;

        /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
        if (current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
                goto nopage;

        /* Try direct reclaim and then allocating */
        page = __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim(gfp_mask, order, alloc_flags, ac,
                                                        &did_some_progress);
        if (page)
                goto got_pg;

        /* Try direct compaction and then allocating */
        page = __alloc_pages_direct_compact(gfp_mask, order, alloc_flags, ac,
                                        compact_priority, &compact_result);
        if (page)
                goto got_pg;

        /* Do not loop if specifically requested */
        if (gfp_mask & __GFP_NORETRY)
                goto nopage;
----------

Then, how can fs_reclaim contribute to deadlock?

If btrfs is already holding some lock (and thus __GFP_FS is not safe),
that lock must be printed at

  2 locks held by sshd/24800:
   #0:  (sk_lock-AF_INET6){+.+.}, at: [<000000001a069652>] tcp_sendmsg+0x19/0x40
   #1:  (fs_reclaim){+.+.}, at: [<0000000084f438c2>] fs_reclaim_acquire.part.102+0x5/0x30

doesn't it? But sk_lock-AF_INET6 is not a FS lock, and fs_reclaim does not
actually lock something.

That should not matter at all. The only case that would matter for is if
lockdep itself would ever call into lockdep again. Not something that
happens here.

Right, got the case inverted, same difference though. Before we'd do
mark_held_lock(), now we do acquire/release under the same conditions.

Ah indeed.

Not sure it can. But if we're going to allow this, it needs to come with
a clear description on why. Not a few clues to a puzzle.

Now, even if its not strictly a deadlock, there is something to be said
for flagging GFP_FS allocs that lead to nested GFP_FS allocs, do we ever
want to allow that?

That is, all reclaim code is simply propagating __GFP_NOMEMALLOC added by kmalloc_reserve(), and
despite memory allocation from try_to_free_pages() path won't do direct reclaim due to PF_MEMALLOC,
fs_reclaim_acquire() from slab_pre_alloc_hook() from try_to_free_pages() path is failing to find that
this allocation will not do direct reclaim due to PF_MEMALLOC (due to

	/* this guy won't enter reclaim */
	if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
		return false;

check in __need_fs_reclaim()).

After all, nested GFP_FS allocations cannot occur (whatever GFP flags are passed)
because such allocation will not do direct reclaim due to PF_MEMALLOC.

Since PF_MEMALLOC negates __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, propagating unmodified GFP flags
(like above) is safe as long as dependency is within current thread.

So, how to fix this?

          }
        }

  }
}

That is, all reclaim code is simply propagating __GFP_NOMEMALLOC added by kmalloc_reserve(), and
despite memory allocation from try_to_free_pages() path won't do direct reclaim due to PF_MEMALLOC,
fs_reclaim_acquire() from slab_pre_alloc_hook() from try_to_free_pages() path is failing to find that
this allocation will not do direct reclaim due to PF_MEMALLOC (due to

	/* this guy won't enter reclaim */
	if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
		return false;

check in __need_fs_reclaim()).

After all, nested GFP_FS allocations cannot occur (whatever GFP flags are passed)
because such allocation will not do direct reclaim due to PF_MEMALLOC.

Since PF_MEMALLOC negates __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, propagating unmodified GFP flags
(like above) is safe as long as dependency is within current thread.

So, how to fix this?

This warning is caused by commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13 ("locking/lockdep: Rework
FS_RECLAIM annotation") which replaced lockdep_set_current_reclaim_state()/
lockdep_clear_current_reclaim_state() in __perform_reclaim() and
lockdep_trace_alloc() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() with fs_reclaim_acquire()/
fs_reclaim_release(). Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply
propagates __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook()
is trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already
grabbed the 'fake' lock.

The

  /* this guy won't enter reclaim */
  if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
          return false;

test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock
was added by commit cf40bd16fdad42c0 ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)"). But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread won't
enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit 341ce06f69abfafa
("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once")
added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (

  /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
  if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
          goto nopage;

in __alloc_pages_slowpath()).

Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and allow
__need_fs_reclaim() to return false.

I think I've hit another incarnation of that one. The call stack is:
http://paste.opensuse.org/3f22d013

The cleaned up callstack of all the ? entries look like:

There is no fs stacking going on here and that is 4.15-rc9.

I think I've hit another incarnation of that one. The call stack is:
http://paste.opensuse.org/3f22d013

There is no fs stacking going on here and that is 4.15-rc9.

Yes, for mempool_alloc() is adding __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask.

	gfp_mask |= __GFP_NOMEMALLOC;   /* don't allocate emergency reserves */
	gfp_mask |= __GFP_NORETRY;      /* don't loop in __alloc_pages */
	gfp_mask |= __GFP_NOWARN;       /* failures are OK */

Subject: [PATCH v2] lockdep: Fix fs_reclaim warning.

Dave Jones reported fs_reclaim lockdep warnings.

This warning is caused by commit d92a8cfcb37ecd13 ("locking/lockdep: Rework
FS_RECLAIM annotation") which replaced lockdep_set_current_reclaim_state()/
lockdep_clear_current_reclaim_state() in __perform_reclaim() and
lockdep_trace_alloc() in slab_pre_alloc_hook() with fs_reclaim_acquire()/
fs_reclaim_release(). Since __kmalloc_reserve() from __alloc_skb() adds
__GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NOWARN to gfp_mask, and all reclaim path simply
propagates __GFP_NOMEMALLOC, fs_reclaim_acquire() in slab_pre_alloc_hook()
is trying to grab the 'fake' lock again when __perform_reclaim() already
grabbed the 'fake' lock.

The

  /* this guy won't enter reclaim */
  if ((current->flags & PF_MEMALLOC) && !(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOMEMALLOC))
          return false;

test which causes slab_pre_alloc_hook() to try to grab the 'fake' lock
was added by commit cf40bd16fdad42c0 ("lockdep: annotate reclaim context
(__GFP_NOFS)"). But that test is outdated because PF_MEMALLOC thread won't
enter reclaim regardless of __GFP_NOMEMALLOC after commit 341ce06f69abfafa
("page allocator: calculate the alloc_flags for allocation only once")
added the PF_MEMALLOC safeguard (

  /* Avoid recursion of direct reclaim */
  if (p->flags & PF_MEMALLOC)
          goto nopage;

in __alloc_pages_slowpath()).

Thus, let's fix outdated test by removing __GFP_NOMEMALLOC test and allow
__need_fs_reclaim() to return false.

[Tetsuo Handa]

I assumed this patch goes to mainline via locking tree, but neither
Peter nor Ingo is responding. Andrew, can you pick up this patch?

That's quite an audit trail.

Shouldn't we be doing a cc:stable here?  If so, which patch do we
identify as being fixed, with "Fixes:"?  d92a8cfcb37ecd13, I assume?

I'd never even noticed fs_reclaim_acquire() and friends before.  I do
wish they had "lockdep" in their names, and a comment to explain what
they do and why they exist.

Yes please, if you think this patch qualifies for backport.

The test was outdated since v2.6.31, but only v4.14+ seems to trigger this warning.
Thus, I think it is OK to add:

  Fixes: d92a8cfcb37ecd13 ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation")
  Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.14+
