Subject: [RFC][PATCH] rcu: Hotplug and PROVE_RCU_DELAY not playing well
together
Paul,
I've been debugging the last couple of days why my tests have been
locking up. One of my tracing tests, runs all available tracers. The
lockup always happened with the mmiotrace, which is used to trace
interactions between priority drivers and the kernel. But to do this
easily, when the tracer gets registered, it disables all but the boot
CPUs. The lockup always happened after it got done disabling the CPUs.
Then I decided to try this:
while :; do
for i in 1 2 3; do
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online
done
for i in 1 2 3; do
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online
done
done
Well, sure enough, that locked up too, with the same users. Doing a
sysrq-w (showing all blocked tasks):

Things looked a little weird. Also, this is a deadlock that lockdep did
not catch. But what we have here does not look like a circular lock
issue:
Bash is blocked in rcu_cpu_notify():
1961 /* Exclude any attempts to start a new grace period. */
1962 mutex_lock(&rsp->onoff_mutex);
kworker is blocked in get_online_cpus(), which makes sense as we are
currently taking down a CPU.
But rcu_preempt is not blocked on anything. It is simply sleeping in
rcu_gp_kthread (really rcu_gp_init) here:
1453 #ifdef CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY
1454 if ((prandom_u32() % (rcu_num_nodes * 8)) == 0 &&
1455 system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING)
1456 schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(2);
1457 #endif /* #ifdef CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY */
And it does this while holding the onoff_mutex that bash is waiting for.
Doing a function trace, it showed me where it happened:
[ 125.940066] rcu_pree-10 3.... 28384115273: schedule_timeout_uninterruptible <-rcu_gp_kthread
[...]
[ 125.940066] rcu_pree-10 3d..3 28384202439: sched_switch: prev_comm=rcu_preempt prev_pid=10 prev_prio=120 prev_state=D ==> next_comm=watchdog/3 next_pid=38 next_prio=120
The watchdog ran, and then:
[ 125.940066] watchdog-38 3d..3 28384692863: sched_switch: prev_comm=watchdog/3 prev_pid=38 prev_prio=120 prev_state=P ==> next_comm=modprobe next_pid=2848 next_prio=118
Not sure what modprobe was doing, but shortly after that:
[ 125.940066] modprobe-2848 3d..3 28385041749: sched_switch: prev_comm=modprobe prev_pid=2848 prev_prio=118 prev_state=R+ ==> next_comm=migration/3 next_pid=40 next_prio=0
Where the migration thread took down the CPU:
[ 125.940066] migratio-40 3d..3 28389148276: sched_switch: prev_comm=migration/3 prev_pid=40 prev_prio=0 prev_state=P ==> next_comm=swapper/3 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
which finally did:
[ 125.940066] <idle>-0 3...1 28389282142: arch_cpu_idle_dead <-cpu_startup_entry
[ 125.940066] <idle>-0 3...1 28389282548: native_play_dead <-arch_cpu_idle_dead

[ 125.940066] <idle>-0 3...1 28389284644: amd_e400_remove_cpu <-play_dead_common
CPU 3 is now offline, the rcu_preempt thread that ran on CPU 3 is still
doing a schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() and it registered it's
timeout to the timer base for CPU 3. You would think that it would get
migrated right? The issue here is that the timer migration happens at
the CPU notifier for CPU_DEAD. The problem is that the rcu notifier for
CPU_DOWN is blocked waiting for the onoff_mutex to be released, which is
held by the thread that just put itself into a uninterruptible sleep,
that wont wake up until the CPU_DEAD notifier of the timer
infrastructure is called, which wont happen until the rcu notifier
finishes. Here's our deadlock!
Not sure how to solve this. I added this hack. Although, even though
it's a hack, it's a fix that's for a hack that is used for debugging
purposes only.
I added a waitqueue and a flag. The flag gets set when a cpu is going
down and cleared after it is down or dead. The rcu_preempt thread will
add itself to the waitqueue and then check if any CPU is going down. If
one is, it wont do the schedule, if one is not, then it does the
schedule. When a cpu goes down, the rcu cpu notifier will wake up the
thread before it does more work.
This patch does prevent the issue from occurring.
