[PATCH 4.9 92/93] locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable() for CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 20 2017 - 14:19:51 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@xxxxxxxx>

commit 17fcbd590d0c3e35bd9646e2215f86586378bc42 upstream.

We hang if SIGKILL has been sent, but the task is stuck in down_read()
(after do_exit()), even though no task is doing down_write() on the
rwsem in question:

INFO: task libupnp:21868 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
libupnp D 0 21868 1 0x08100008
...
Call Trace:
__schedule()
schedule()
__down_read()
do_exit()
do_group_exit()
__wake_up_parent()

This bug has already been fixed for CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y in
the following commit:

04cafed7fc19 ("locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable()")

... however, this bug also exists for CONFIG_RWSEM_GENERIC_SPINLOCK=y.
