Patch series "stackdepot, kasan, workqueue: Avoid expanding stackdepot
slabs when holding raw_spin_lock", v2.
Shuah Khan reported [1]:
| When CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y and CONFIG_KASAN are enabled,
| kasan_record_aux_stack() runs into "BUG: Invalid wait context" when
| it tries to allocate memory attempting to acquire spinlock in page
| allocation code while holding workqueue pool raw_spinlock.
|
| There are several instances of this problem when block layer tries
| to __queue_work(). Call trace from one of these instances is below:
|
| kblockd_mod_delayed_work_on()
| mod_delayed_work_on()
| __queue_delayed_work()
| __queue_work() (rcu_read_lock, raw_spin_lock pool->lock held)
| insert_work()
| kasan_record_aux_stack()
| kasan_save_stack()
| stack_depot_save()
| alloc_pages()
| __alloc_pages()
| get_page_from_freelist()
| rm_queue()
| rm_queue_pcplist()
| local_lock_irqsave(&pagesets.lock, flags);
| [ BUG: Invalid wait context triggered ]
PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is pointing out that (on RT kernels) the locking
rules are being violated. More generally, memory is being allocated
from a non-preemptive context (raw_spin_lock'd c-s) where it is not
allowed.
To properly fix this, we must prevent stackdepot from replenishing its
"stack slab" pool if memory allocations cannot be done in the current
context: it's a bug to use either GFP_ATOMIC nor GFP_NOWAIT in certain
non-preemptive contexts, including raw_spin_locks (see gfp.h and commit

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
