[PATCH 5.1 263/405] locking/static_key: Fix false positive warnings on concurrent dec/inc

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed May 29 2019 - 23:17:11 EST


[ Upstream commit a1247d06d01045d7ab2882a9c074fbf21137c690 ]

Even though the atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock() in
__static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked() can never see a negative value in
key->enabled the subsequent sanity check is re-reading key->enabled, which may
have been set to -1 in the meantime by static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked().

CPU A CPU B

__static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked(): static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked():
# enabled = 1
atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock()
# enabled = 0
atomic_read() == 0
atomic_set(-1)
# enabled = -1
val = atomic_read()
# Oops - val == -1!

The test case is TCP's clean_acked_data_enable() / clean_acked_data_disable()
as tickled by KTLS (net/ktls).
