Subject: [patch V2 17/24] PCI: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus()
Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2017 19:04:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170418170553.806707929@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20170418170442.665445272@linutronix.de

[-- Attachment #1: PCI--Use-cpu_hotplug_disable-instead-of-get_online_cpus.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2312 bytes --]

Converting the hotplug locking, i.e. get_online_cpus(), to a percpu rwsem
unearthed a circular lock dependency which was hidden from lockdep due to
the lockdep annotation of get_online_cpus() which prevents lockdep from
creating full dependency chains. There are several variants of this. And
example is:

Chain exists of:

cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> drm_global_mutex --> &item->mutex

CPU0                    CPU1
----                    ----
lock(&item->mutex);
                        lock(drm_global_mutex);
                        lock(&item->mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

because there are dependencies through workqueues. The call chain is:

	get_online_cpus
	apply_workqueue_attrs
	__alloc_workqueue_key
	ttm_mem_global_init
	ast_ttm_mem_global_init
	drm_global_item_ref
	ast_mm_init
	ast_driver_load
	drm_dev_register
	drm_get_pci_dev
	ast_pci_probe
	local_pci_probe
	work_for_cpu_fn
	process_one_work
	worker_thread

This is not a problem of get_online_cpus() recursion, it's a possible
deadlock undetected by lockdep so far.

The cure is to use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() to
protect the PCI probing.

There is a side effect to this: cpu_hotplug_disable() makes a concurrent
cpu hotplug attempt via the sysfs interfaces fail with -EBUSY, but PCI
probing usually happens during the boot process where no interaction is
possible. Any later invocations are infrequent enough and concurrent
hotplug attempts are so unlikely that the danger of user space visible
regressions is very close to zero. Anyway, thats preferrable over a real
deadlock.
