[PATCH] x86/apic/vector: Move pr_warn() outside of vector_lock

From: Waiman Long
Date: Sun Mar 28 2021 - 16:04:06 EST


It was found that the following circular locking dependency warning
could happen in some systems:

[ 218.097878] ======================================================
[ 218.097879] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
[ 218.097880] 4.18.0-228.el8.x86_64+debug #1 Not tainted
[ 218.097881] ------------------------------------------------------
[ 218.097882] systemd/1 is trying to acquire lock:
[ 218.097883] ffffffff84c27920 (console_owner){-.-.}, at: console_unlock+0x3fb/0x9f0
[ 218.097886]
[ 218.097887] but task is already holding lock:
[ 218.097888] ffffffff84afca78 (vector_lock){-.-.}, at: x86_vector_activate+0xca/0xab0
[ 218.097891]
[ 218.097892] which lock already depends on the new lock.
:
[ 218.097966] other info that might help us debug this:
[ 218.097967]
[ 218.097967] Chain exists of:
[ 218.097968] console_oc_lock_class --> vector_lock
[ 218.097972]
[ 218.097973] Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[ 218.097973]
[ 218.097974] CPU0 CPU1
[ 218.097975] ---- ----
[ 218.097975] lock(vector_lock);
[ 218.097977] lock(&irq_desc_lock_class);
[ 218.097980] lock(vector_lock);
[ 218.097981] lock(console_owner);
[ 218.097983]
[ 218.097984] *** DEADLOCK ***

This lockdep warning was causing by printing of the warning message:

[ 218.095152] irq 3: Affinity broken due to vector space exhaustion.

It looks that this warning message is relatively more common than
the other warnings in arch/x86/kernel/apic/vector.c. To avoid this
potential deadlock scenario, this patch moves all the pr_warn() calls
in the vector.c file outside of the vector_lock critical sections.
