Subject: [PATCH v2 (repost)] locking/lockdep: add
debug_show_all_lock_holders()
Currently, check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() reports details of locks
held in the system. Also, lockdep_print_held_locks() does not report
details of locks held by a thread if that thread is in TASK_RUNNING state.
Several years of experience of debugging without vmcore tells me that
these limitations have been a barrier for understanding what went wrong
in syzbot's "INFO: task hung in" reports.
I initially thought that the cause of "INFO: task hung in" reports is
due to over-stressing. But I understood that over-stressing is unlikely.
I now consider that there likely is a deadlock/livelock bug where lockdep
cannot report as a deadlock when "INFO: task hung in" is reported.
A typical case is that thread-1 is waiting for something to happen (e.g.
wait_event_*()) with a lock held. When thread-2 tries to hold that lock
using e.g. mutex_lock(), check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() reports that
thread-2 is hung and thread-1 is holding a lock which thread-2 is trying
to hold. But currently check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() cannot report
the exact location of thread-1 which gives us an important hint for
understanding why thread-1 is holding that lock for so long period.
When check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() reports a thread waiting for a
lock, it is important to report backtrace of threads which already held
that lock. Therefore, allow check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() to report
the exact location of threads which is holding any lock.
To deduplicate code, share debug_show_all_{locks,lock_holders}() using
a flag. As a side effect of sharing, __debug_show_all_locks() skips
current thread if the caller is holding no lock, for reporting RCU lock
taken inside __debug_show_all_locks() is generally useless.
