Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rcu/tree: use __GFP_NO_LOCKS flag
Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2020 22:43:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200809204354.20137-3-urezki@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200809204354.20137-1-urezki@gmail.com>
Enter the page allocator with newly introduced __GFP_NO_LOCKS flag
instead of former GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_NOWARN sequence. Such approach
address two concerns. See them below:
a) If built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING, the lockdep complains
about violation("BUG: Invalid wait context") of the nesting rules. It
does the raw_spinlock vs. spinlock nesting checks, i.e. it is not legal
to acquire a spinlock_t while holding a raw_spinlock_t.
Internally the kfree_rcu() uses raw_spinlock_t whereas the page allocator
internally deals with spinlock_t to access to its zones. The code also
can be broken from higher level of view:
<snip>
raw_spin_lock(&some_lock);
kfree_rcu(some_pointer, some_field_offset);
<snip>
b) If built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Please note, in that case spinlock_t
is converted into sleepable variant. Invoking the page allocator from
atomic contexts leads to: "BUG: scheduling while atomic".
