From 1a702dc88e150487c9c173a249b3d236498b9183 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hao Luo Date: Mon, 16 May 2022 12:09:51 -0700 Subject: kernfs: Separate kernfs_pr_cont_buf and rename_lock. Previously the protection of kernfs_pr_cont_buf was piggy backed by rename_lock, which means that pr_cont() needs to be protected under rename_lock. This can cause potential circular lock dependencies. If there is an OOM, we have the following call hierarchy: -> cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() -> pr_cont_cgroup_name() -> pr_cont_kernfs_name() pr_cont_kernfs_name() will grab rename_lock and call printk. So we have the following lock dependencies: kernfs_rename_lock -> console_sem Sometimes, printk does a wakeup before releasing console_sem, which has the dependence chain: console_sem -> p->pi_lock -> rq->lock Now, imagine one wants to read cgroup_name under rq->lock, for example, printing cgroup_name in a tracepoint in the scheduler code. They will be holding rq->lock and take rename_lock: rq->lock -> kernfs_rename_lock Now they will deadlock. A prevention to this circular lock dependency is to separate the protection of pr_cont_buf from rename_lock. In principle, rename_lock is to protect the integrity of cgroup name when copying to buf. Once pr_cont_buf has got its content, rename_lock can be dropped. So it's safe to drop rename_lock after kernfs_name_locked (and kernfs_path_from_node_locked) and rely on a dedicated pr_cont_lock to protect pr_cont_buf.
