The patch titled
Subject: kfence: fix potential deadlock due to wake_up()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-add-kernel-electric-fence-infrastructure-fix-3.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-add-kernel-electric-fence-infrastructure.patch
------------------------------------------------------
From: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>
Subject: kfence: fix potential deadlock due to wake_up()
Lockdep reports that we may deadlock when calling wake_up() in
__kfence_alloc(), because we may already hold base->lock. This can happen
if debug objects are enabled:
...
__kfence_alloc+0xa0/0xbc0 mm/kfence/core.c:710
kfence_alloc include/linux/kfence.h:108 [inline]
...
kmem_cache_zalloc include/linux/slab.h:672 [inline]
fill_pool+0x264/0x5c0 lib/debugobjects.c:171
__debug_object_init+0x7a/0xd10 lib/debugobjects.c:560
debug_object_init lib/debugobjects.c:615 [inline]
debug_object_activate+0x32c/0x3e0 lib/debugobjects.c:701
debug_timer_activate kernel/time/timer.c:727 [inline]
__mod_timer+0x77d/0xe30 kernel/time/timer.c:1048
...
Therefore, switch to an open-coded wait loop. The difference to before is
that the waiter wakes up and rechecks the condition after 1 jiffy;
however, given the infrequency of kfence allocations, the difference is
insignificant.
