Subject: [PATCH 5.5 46/46] padata: always acquire cpu_hotplug_lock before pinst->lock
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2020 12:22:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200407101504.206060352@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200407101459.502593074@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Daniel Jordan <daniel.m.jordan@oracle.com>

commit 38228e8848cd7dd86ccb90406af32de0cad24be3 upstream.

lockdep complains when padata's paths to update cpumasks via CPU hotplug
and sysfs are both taken:

  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # echo ff > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/parallel_cpumask

  ======================================================
  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  5.4.0-rc8-padata-cpuhp-v3+ #1 Not tainted
  ------------------------------------------------------
  bash/205 is trying to acquire lock:
  ffffffff8286bcd0 (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: padata_set_cpumask+0x2b/0x120

  but task is already holding lock:
  ffff8880001abfa0 (&pinst->lock){+.+.}, at: padata_set_cpumask+0x26/0x120

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

padata doesn't take cpu_hotplug_lock and pinst->lock in a consistent
order.  Which should be first?  CPU hotplug calls into padata with
cpu_hotplug_lock already held, so it should have priority.

Fixes: 6751fb3c0e0c ("padata: Use get_online_cpus/put_online_cpus")
