3.6.11.7-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: =?UTF-8?q?J=C3=B6rn=20Engel?= [ Upstream commit 574780fd5e6ec52bd43e0bdb777a19e4c4c6aa9c ] Here is a fun one. Bug seems to have been introduced by commit 140854cb, almost two years ago. I have no idea why we only started seeing it now, but we did. Rough callgraph: core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth() `-> spin_lock_irqsave(&tpg->session_lock, flags); `-> lio_tpg_shutdown_session() `-> iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer() `-> spin_unlock_bh(&se_tpg->session_lock); `-> spin_lock_bh(&se_tpg->session_lock); `-> spin_unlock_irqrestore(&tpg->session_lock, flags); core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth() used to call spin_lock_bh(), but 140854cb changed that to spin_lock_irqsave(). However, lio_tpg_shutdown_session() still claims to be called with spin_lock_bh() held, as does iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer(): * Called with spin_lock_bh(&struct se_portal_group->session_lock) held Stale documentation is mostly annoying, but in this case the dropping the lock with the _bh variant is plain wrong. It is also wrong to drop locks two functions below the lock-holder, but I will ignore that bit for now. After some more locking and unlocking we eventually hit this backtrace: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:159 local_bh_enable_ip+0xe8/0x100() Pid: 24645, comm: lio_helper.py Tainted: G O 3.6.11+ Call Trace: [] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [] ? iscsit_inc_conn_usage_count+0x37/0x50 [iscsi_target_mod] [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [] local_bh_enable_ip+0xe8/0x100 [] _raw_spin_unlock_bh+0x15/0x20 [] iscsit_inc_conn_usage_count+0x37/0x50 [iscsi_target_mod] [] iscsit_stop_session+0xfa/0x1c0 [iscsi_target_mod] [] lio_tpg_shutdown_session+0x7b/0x90 [iscsi_target_mod] [] core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth+0xe4/0x290 [target_core_mod] [] iscsit_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth+0x12/0x20 [iscsi_target_mod] [] lio_target_nacl_store_cmdsn_depth+0xa9/0x180 [iscsi_target_mod] [] target_fabric_nacl_base_attr_store+0x39/0x40 [target_core_mod] [] configfs_write_file+0xbd/0x120 [] vfs_write+0xc6/0x180 [] sys_write+0x51/0x90 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace 3747632b9b164652 ]--- As a pure band-aid, this patch drops the _bh.
