[PATCH v2] cgroup/cpuset: remove circular dependency deadlock
From: Prateek Sood
Date: Mon Oct 30 2017 - 03:17:20 EST
Remove circular dependency deadlock in a scenario where hotplug of CPU is
being done while there is updation in cgroup and cpuset triggered from
userspace.
Process A => kthreadd => Process B => Process C => Process A
Process A
cpu_subsys_offline();
cpu_down();
_cpu_down();
percpu_down_write(&cpu_hotplug_lock); //held
cpuhp_invoke_callback();
workqueue_offline_cpu();
queue_work_on(); // unbind_work on system_highpri_wq
__queue_work();
insert_work();
wake_up_worker();
flush_work();
wait_for_completion();
worker_thread();
manage_workers();
create_worker();
kthread_create_on_node();
wake_up_process(kthreadd_task);
kthreadd
kthreadd();
kernel_thread();
do_fork();
copy_process();
percpu_down_read(&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem);
__rwsem_down_read_failed_common(); //waiting
Process B
kernfs_fop_write();
cgroup_file_write();
cgroup_procs_write();
percpu_down_write(&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem); //held
cgroup_attach_task();
cgroup_migrate();
cgroup_migrate_execute();
cpuset_can_attach();
mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex); //waiting
Process C
kernfs_fop_write();
cgroup_file_write();
cpuset_write_resmask();
mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex); //held
update_cpumask();
update_cpumasks_hier();
rebuild_sched_domains_locked();
get_online_cpus();
percpu_down_read(&cpu_hotplug_lock); //waiting
Eliminating deadlock by reversing the locking order for cpuset_mutex and
cpu_hotplug_lock. After inverting the locking sequence of cpu_hotplug_lock
and cpuset_mutex, cpuset_hotplug_workfn() related functionality can be
done synchronously from the context doing cpu hotplug. For memory hotplug
it still gets queued as a work item.
