[PATCH] sched: Use printk_deferred_once() instead of WARN_ONCE()
From: Maria Yu
Date: Fri Dec 27 2024 - 04:28:17 EST
A deadlock is observed when WARN_ONCE() uses printk() inside the scheduler
logic. printk_deferred_once() is a WARN_ONCE() similar special printk
facility for the scheduler to avoid unnecessary deadlocks.
One of the deadlock stacks looks like this:
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() --
//waiting on uart_port_lock which is already hold by current cpu
queued_spin_lock(inline)
do_raw_spin_lock(inline)
__raw_spin_lock_irqsave(inline)
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave()
qcom_geni_serial_console_write()
call_console_driver(inline)
console_emit_next_record()
console_flush_all(inline)
console_unlock()
vprintk_emit()
vprintk_default()
vprintk()
_printk()
__warn_printk()
rq_pin_lock(inline)
rq_lock_irqsave(inline)
.
wake_up_process(inline)
wake_up_worker(inline)
insert_work(inline)
__queue_work()
queue_work_on()
queue_work(inline)
tty_flip_buffer_push()
handle_rx_console()
qcom_geni_serial_handle_rx(inline)
qcom_geni_serial_isr() --
//acquired uart_port_lock
__handle_irq_event_percpu()
handle_irq_event_percpu(inline)
handle_irq_event()
.
After the change, the SCHED_WARN_ON(x) printout appears as follows:
[ x.xxxxxx] WARNING: ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ x.xxxxxx] WARNING: x
