Re: mm lock issue while booting Linux on 5.8-rc1 for RISC-V

[Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com>]

I am also unable to reproduce the issue so far.

I wanted to point to a few things in case this helps:
- Commit 42fc541404f2 was bisected as the cause. This commit changes
walk_page_range_novma() to use mmap_assert_locked() instead of
lockdep_assert_held()
- mmap_assert_locked() checks lockdep_assert_held(), but also checks
that the rwsem itself is locked.

Now how could lockdep think the lock is held, but the lock itself is
not marked as locked ???

I'm not sure if it helps at all, but a few commits earlier,
0cc55a0213a0 introduces mmap_read_trylock_non_owner(), which is used
exclusively by stackmap, and does the opposite: it acquires the mmap
lock without telling lockdep about it. I can't see any smoking gun
linking this to our bug, but I thought it may be worth mentioning as
it involves the same suspects (stackmap and the difference between
owning the lock vs lockdep thinking we own the lock).

I'm sorry, that's only how far I was able to go on this bug - I'm not
sure how to investigate it further as I can not reproduce the issue...
