[patch V2 0/2] mm/memory_hotplug: Cure potential deadlocks vs. cpu hotplug lock

[Thomas Gleixner]

Andrey reported a potential deadlock with the memory hotplug lock and the
cpu hotplug lock.

The following series addresses this by reworking the memory hotplug locking
and fixing up the potential deadlock scenarios.

Applies against Linus head. All preliminaries are merged there already

Thanks,

[patch V2 1/2] mm: swap: Provide lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked()

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: mm--swap--Provide-lru_add_drain_cpuslocked--.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2274 bytes --]

The rework of the cpu hotplug locking unearthed potential deadlocks with
the memory hotplug locking code.

The solution for these is to rework the memory hotplug locking code as well
and take the cpu hotplug lock before the memory hotplug lock in
mem_hotplug_begin(), but this will cause a recursive locking of the cpu
hotplug lock when the memory hotplug code calls lru_add_drain_all().

Split out the inner workings of lru_add_drain_all() into
lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() so this function can be invoked from the
memory hotplug code with the cpu hotplug lock held.

[patch V2 2/2] mm/memory-hotplug: Switch locking to a percpu rwsem

[Thomas Gleixner]

[-- Attachment #1: mmmemory-hotplug_Switch_locking_to_a_percpu_rwsem.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5444 bytes --]

Andrey reported a potential deadlock with the memory hotplug lock and the
cpu hotplug lock.

The reason is that memory hotplug takes the memory hotplug lock and then
calls stop_machine() which calls get_online_cpus(). That's the reverse lock
order to get_online_cpus(); get_online_mems(); in mm/slub_common.c

The problem has been there forever. The reason why this was never reported
is that the cpu hotplug locking had this homebrewn recursive reader writer
semaphore construct which due to the recursion evaded the full lock dep
coverage. The memory hotplug code copied that construct verbatim and
therefor has similar issues.

Three steps to fix this:

1) Convert the memory hotplug locking to a per cpu rwsem so the potential
   issues get reported proper by lockdep.

2) Lock the online cpus in mem_hotplug_begin() before taking the memory
   hotplug rwsem and use stop_machine_cpuslocked() in the page_alloc code
   and use to avoid recursive locking.

3) The cpu hotpluck locking in #2 causes a recursive locking of the cpu
   hotplug lock via __offline_pages() -> lru_add_drain_all(). Solve this by
   invoking lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() instead.

You have added callers in the later patch in the series AFAICS which
is OK but I think it would be better to have them in this patch
already. Nothing earth shattering (maybe a rebase artifact).

Is there a an assertion check that we are locked, that could be put in

There is a lockdep assertion lockdep_assert_cpus_held() which could be

The requirement for changing that comes with the extra hotplug locking in
mem_hotplug_begin(). That is required to establish the proper lock order
and then causes the recursive locking in the next patch. Adding the caller
here would be wrong, because then lru_add_drain_all_cpuslocked() would be
called unprotected. Hens and eggs as usual :)

I particularly like how the mem hotplug is well suited for pcpu-rwsem.
As a side effect you end up optimizing get/put_online_mems() at the cost
of more overhead for the actual hotplug operation, which is rare and of less
performance importance.

So nm this, the reader side actually gets _more_ expensive with pcpu-rwsems
due to at least two full barriers for each get/put operation.

Ah, right, I was thrown off the:

    if (mem_hotplug.active_writer == current)
       return;

checks, which is only true within hotplug_begin/end. So normally we'd take
the lock, which was my first impression. Sorry for the noise.
