[bug-report] task info hung problem in fb_deferred_io_work()

[Harshit Mogalapalli <harshit.m.mogalapalli@oracle.com>]

Hi,

While fuzzing 5.15.y kernel with Syzkaller, we noticed a INFO: task hung 
bug in fb_deferred_io_work()


This is in 5.15.149 tag, and this is introduced by a set of commits:

2655757a3f10 fbdev: flush deferred IO before closing
15492bab7393 fbdev: Fix incorrect page mapping clearance at 
fb_deferred_io_release()
87b9802ca824 fbdev: Fix invalid page access after closing deferred I/O 
devices
9a95fc04261f fbdev: Rename pagelist to pagereflist for deferred I/O
186b89659c4c fbdev: Track deferred-I/O pages in pageref struct
e79b2b2aadef fbdev: defio: fix the pagelist corruption
0616b00a31d6 fbdev: Don't sort deferred-I/O pages by default
5d3aff76a316 fbdev/defio: Early-out if page is already enlisted

I then tried if it could be reproducible on upstream kernel as well, and 
it did. below is the call trace with latest 6.9-rc4 based kernel. I have 
enabled the LOCKDEP to get locking related information.

Syzkaller initially generated a long reproducer, Vegard simplified it to 
the one below

C repro:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main(void)
{
         int fd = open("/dev/fb0", O_RDWR, 0);

         char *ptr = (char *) 0x20000000ul;

         mmap(ptr, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED, fd, 0xff000);
         *ptr = 0;

         mmap(ptr, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
         *ptr = 0;

         return 0;
}

This needs to be run as root to see the hang in 122 seconds.

238 static void fb_deferred_io_work(struct work_struct *work)
239 {
240         struct fb_info *info = container_of(work, struct fb_info, 
deferred_work.work);
241         struct fb_deferred_io_pageref *pageref, *next;
242         struct fb_deferred_io *fbdefio = info->fbdefio;
243
244         /* here we mkclean the pages, then do all deferred IO */
245         mutex_lock(&fbdefio->lock);
246         list_for_each_entry(pageref, &fbdefio->pagereflist, list) {
247                 struct page *cur = pageref->page;
248                 lock_page(cur);
249                 page_mkclean(cur);
250                 unlock_page(cur);
251         }

It is stalling on lock_page() in fb_deferred_io_work()

I will be happy to try any patches and report back.


Thanks,
Harshit
