[PATCH V2] perf/x86/rapl: fix deadlock in rapl_pmu_event_stop
From: Duoming Zhou
Date: Mon Sep 19 2022 - 21:45:23 EST
There is a deadlock in rapl_pmu_event_stop(), the process is
shown below:
(thread 1) | (thread 2)
rapl_pmu_event_stop() | rapl_hrtimer_handle()
... | if (!pmu->n_active)
raw_spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | ...
... |
hrtimer_cancel() | raw_spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
(block forever)
We hold pmu->lock in position (1) and use hrtimer_cancel() to wait
rapl_hrtimer_handle() to stop, but rapl_hrtimer_handle() also need
pmu->lock in position (2). As a result, the rapl_pmu_event_stop()
will be blocked forever.
This patch extracts hrtimer_cancel() from the protection of
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(). As a result, the rapl_hrtimer_handle()
could obtain the pmu->lock.

Changes in v2:
- Move hrtimer_cancel() to the end of rapl_pmu_event_stop() function.
