Subject: [merged mm-nonmm-stable] tty-fix-deadlock-caused-by-calling-printk-under-tty_port-lock.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Fri, 13 May 2022 12:23:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220513192344.B9AFEC34100@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: tty: fix deadlock caused by calling printk() under tty_port->lock
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
tty-fix-deadlock-caused-by-calling-printk-under-tty_port-lock.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch\nof git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------
From: Qi Zheng <zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com>
Subject: tty: fix deadlock caused by calling printk() under tty_port->lock
pty_write() invokes kmalloc() which may invoke a normal printk() to print
failure message. This can cause a deadlock in the scenario reported by
syz-bot below:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(&port_lock_key);
lock(&port->lock);
lock(console_owner);
As commit dbdda842fe96 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to
load balance console writes") said, such deadlock can be prevented by
using printk_deferred() in kmalloc() (which is invoked in the section
guarded by the port->lock). But there are too many printk() on the
kmalloc() path, and kmalloc() can be called from anywhere, so changing
printk() to printk_deferred() is too complicated and inelegant.
Therefore, this patch chooses to specify __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(), so
that printk() will not be called, and this deadlock problem can be
avoided.
Syzbot reported the following lockdep error:
