Hello,

I've got the following report while running syzkaller fuzzer on mmotm
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git)
remotes/mmotm/auto-latest ee4ba7533626ba7bf2f8b992266467ac9fdc045e:

other info that might help us debug this:

Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&r->consumer_lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&r->producer_lock)->rlock);

Thanks a lot for the testing.

Looks like we could address this by using skb_array_consume_bh() instead.

Could you pls verify if the following patch works?
I think we should use _bh for the produce call as well,
since resizing takes the producer lock.

Looks not since irq was disabled during resizing?

Thanks
