lockdep false positive? -- firewire-core transaction timer vs. scsi-core host lock

lockdep false positive? -- firewire-core transaction timer vs. scsi-core host lock

[Stefan Richter]

Hi, I just saw the following (twice, with a reboot in between) with
kernel 2.6.35 plus firewire driver patched to their state in 2.6.36-rc1,
i.e. basically with a kernel according to commit e78483c5.

I suspect it might also happen without firewire patches, as 2.6.35
already contains the change where firewire-core's per-transaction timer
was introduced which shows up in the following log.

It happened while I was testing hotplugging of FireWire disks with
several ones on a bus together with several FireWire 800 repeaters,
which sometimes act up so that reconnect does not succeed immediately.
Perhaps such reconnection troubles are necessary to provoke this lockdep
report.

[I only accidentally discovered this on a test PC which do not use very
frequently.  Unfortunately, I had lockdep disabled on my main PC on
which I test most of my FireWire hardware for quite a while now.  I
guess I should enable lockdep there again, but I have a suspicion that I
won't leave it on for too long.]

Note how the IN-HARDIRQ-W talks about a SCSI host lock of a libata host,
whereas the locking in the firewire stack surely does only interact
(hopefully correctly) with SCSI host locks of firewire-sbp2 host
instances.

What does this all mean?  How to act on it?

[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
2.6.35 #1
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/0 just changed the state of lock:
 (&t->split_timeout_timer){+.-...}, at: [<c1032228>] run_timer_softirq+0x112/0x21c
but this lock was taken by another, HARDIRQ-safe lock in the past:
 (&(shost->host_lock)->rlock){-.-...}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.


other info that might help us debug this:
no locks held by swapper/0.

It says the locks nest like:

 (&(shost->host_lock)->rlock){-.-...}
   (&t->split_timeout_timer){+.-...}

So shost->host_lock->rlock is a lock used in hardirq context but
split_timeout_timer is a !irq-safe lock.

Which means that it now worries the following can happen:

softirq:
  spin_lock(&t->split_timeout_timer);

IRQ:
  spin_lock(&(shost->host_lock)->rlock);
   spin_lock(&t->split_timeout_timer);

Now, the thing is that split_timeout_timer is a fake lock used to
annotate timers, its use is to connect lock chains from within the timer
callback to del_timer_sync() callers, to detect deadlocks.

Now, I can't seem to remember why del_timer_sync() explicitly disables
IRQs but call_timer_fn() does not, Johill, happen to remember?

Err, sorry, no. I do remember that we had long discussions and initially
I had wanted to disable the context checking for these fake locks
completely. I think it was just the minimal thing needed not to make it
warn always. Also, we can't do the same thing in call_timer_fn() since
we need to hold it across fn()? Wouldn't it complain if we held that
lock then while enabling IRQs again? Not sure.

I don't fully understand the scenario above yet though. Why does it
think we could ever take the fake lock in an IRQ to start with? That
must not happen. Or is that just preemptive worrying?

Actually, I think it's worried that you could have


CPU 0                         CPU 1
 softirq:                      softirq:
   spin_lock(timer)              spin_lock(rlock)
 irq:
   spin_lock(rlock)
                                 spin_lock(timer) [still in softirq]

because it has previously seen the nesting that I put on CPU 1, and now
found that the timer "lock" is used with interrupts enabled.

At least that's a scenario I could understand?

I'm convinced it's a false positive though, question is how to shut it
up :-)

Cc'ing Thomas.

I suspect it's introduced by commit 5c40cbfefa828208c671e2f58789e4dd04f79563
which call del_timer_sync() in softirq.

comments on del_timer_sync() say "It must not be called from interrupt contexts."

Is there anyway to differentiate the lockdep naming of shost->host_lock

I hope the del_timer_sync kerneldoc comment is about hardIRQ context,
*otherwise* commit 5c40cbfe is defective indeed.

The firewire stack calls del_timer_sync in process or softIRQ context
(firewire-ohci tasklets, block layer soft IRQ, networking soft IRQ...)
but never from hardIRQ.

Then both the comment and its lockdep code would be wrong.

firewire: core: do not use del_timer_sync() in interrupt context

Because we might be in interrupt context, replace del_timer_sync() with
del_timer().  If the timer was already running when we tried to delete
it, explicitly wait for it to finish to ensure that it does not access
the transaction data after the normal completion code might have freed
it.

Many thanks to Yong Zhang for diagnosing this and to Rusty Russell for
his Locking Guide.

Again, is the term "interrupt contexts" meant to include softIRQ contexts?

(Nothing in firewire-core/-sbp2/-net etc. is called in hardware
interrupts.  BTW, we actually could and maybe should change all the
spinlocks in them from spin_lock_irq to spin_lock_bh.  Only
firewire-ohci's local ohci->lock needs to be IRQ safe.  OTOH this could
change if somebody comes up with a migration of the stack to threaded
IRQ handling.)

Open-coding spin loops like that is really ugly, and could cause trouble
for -rt.

Also, I believe that if you want the very same semantics as before, you
need to use try_to_del_timer_sync(), not del_timer().

Also, if del_timer_sync() is not allowed from any interrupt context
(including softirq) then doing the spin-loop like that doesn't actually
solve anything.

Thomas, any comments?

I can't think out a scene which prevent del_timer_sync() from using in
softirq. :(

Then I go back and find that comments comes before linux-2.6.12,
then in linux-2.6.12, del_timer_sync() is like this:

int del_timer_sync(struct timer_list *timer)
{
	tvec_base_t *base;
	int i, ret = 0;

	check_timer(timer);

del_again:
	ret += del_timer(timer);

	for_each_online_cpu(i) {
		base = &per_cpu(tvec_bases, i);
		if (base->running_timer == timer) {
			while (base->running_timer == timer) {
				cpu_relax();
				preempt_check_resched();
			}
			break;
		}
	}
	smp_rmb();
	if (timer_pending(timer))
		goto del_again;

	return ret;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(del_timer_sync);

Seems preempt_check_resched() is the proof of that comments, but
now del_timer_sync() is changed.

I don't know if there is any other restriction.

Thanks,
Yong

Like del_timer_sync(), it "must not be called from interrupt contexts."

Why?

Anyway, my first patch was crap because the loop isn't actually
necessary:

--8<---------------------------------------------------------------->8--
firewire: core: do not use del_timer_sync() in interrupt context

Because we might be in interrupt context, replace del_timer_sync() with
del_timer().  If the timer is already running, we know that it will
clean up the transaction, so we do not need to do any further processing
in the normal transaction handler.

So, even though the part of the lockdep report about nesting with a SCSI
host lock was a false positive, it did motivate Clemens' del_timer_sync
-> del_timer replacement, so it was helpful after all.  I guess there is
no immediate need anymore to do something about the conflation of
shost->host_lock instances.
