false positive deadlock? Was: [syzbot] [bpf?] possible deadlock in kvfree_call_rcu

[Alexei Starovoitov]

Hi Paul,

syzbot found an interesting false positive deadlock.
See below.
My understanding is the following:

cpu 2:
  grabs timer_base lock
    spins on bpf_lpm lock

cpu 1:
  grab rcu krcp lock
    spins on timer_base lock

cpu 0:
  grab bpf_lpm lock
    spins on rcu krcp lock

bpf_lpm lock can be the same.
timer_base lock can also be the same due to timer migration.

but rcu krcp lock is always per-cpu, so it cannot be the same lock.
Hence it's a false positive, but still interesting.

I don't think rcu can tell lockdep that these are different locks.

Few ideas/questions on how to address this:

1. in kernel/rcu/tree.c:
        if (rcu_scheduler_active == RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING)
                schedule_delayed_monitor_work(krcp);

unlock_return:
        krc_this_cpu_unlock(krcp, flags);

moving schedule_delayed_monitor_work() after unlock will not work, right?

2. if not, we can move 4 kfree_rcu-s in kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c
 to a place after unlock of lpm_trie

3. move bpf_lpm_trie to bpf_mem_alloc.

The 2 or 3 will address this false positive.

Other ideas?
