Subject: [PATCH 4.4 076/135] net: core: device_rename: Use rwsem instead of a seqcount
From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" <a.darwish@...utronix.de>
[ Upstream commit 11d6011c2cf29f7c8181ebde6c8bc0c4d83adcd7 ]
Sequence counters write paths are critical sections that must never be
preempted, and blocking, even for CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n, is not allowed.
Commit 5dbe7c178d3f ("net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and
netdev name retrieval.") handled a deadlock, observed with
CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n, where the devnet_rename seqcount read side was
infinitely spinning: it got scheduled after the seqcount write side
blocked inside its own critical section.
To fix that deadlock, among other issues, the commit added a
cond_resched() inside the read side section. While this will get the
non-preemptible kernel eventually unstuck, the seqcount reader is fully
exhausting its slice just spinning -- until TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set.
The fix is also still broken: if the seqcount reader belongs to a
real-time scheduling policy, it can spin forever and the kernel will
livelock.
Disabling preemption over the seqcount write side critical section will
not work: inside it are a number of GFP_KERNEL allocations and mutex
locking through the drivers/base/ :: device_rename() call chain.
>>From all the above, replace the seqcount with a rwsem.
Fixes: 5dbe7c178d3f (net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval.)
Fixes: 30e6c9fa93cf (net: devnet_rename_seq should be a seqcount)
Fixes: c91f6df2db49 (sockopt: Change getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE to return an interface name)
