commit acfe689f2e473fb59b6d2c95af5fe36198bb9a84

rcu: Fix set/clear TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask race
For kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, the following scenario can result
in the scheduling-clock interrupt remaining enabled on a holdout CPU after
its quiescent state has been reported:
CPU1 CPU2
rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait
acquires rnp->lock mask = rnp->expmask;
for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask)
rnp->expmask = rnp->expmask & ~mask; rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1);
for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask)
rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1);
if (!rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp)
continue; rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp = true;
tick_dep_set_cpu(cpu1, TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP);
The problem is that CPU2's sampling of rnp->expmask is obsolete by the
time it invokes tick_dep_set_cpu(), and CPU1 is not guaranteed to see
CPU2's store to ->rcu_forced_tick_exp in time to clear it. And even if
CPU1 does see that store, it might invoke tick_dep_clear_cpu() before
CPU2 got around to executing its tick_dep_set_cpu(), which would still
leave the victim CPU with its scheduler-clock tick running.
Either way, an nohz_full real-time application running on the victim
CPU would have its latency needlessly degraded.
Note that expedited RCU grace periods look at context-tracking
information, and so if the CPU is executing in nohz_full usermode
throughout, that CPU cannot be victimized in this manner.
This commit therefore causes synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait to hold
the rcu_node structure's ->lock when checking for holdout CPUs, setting
TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP, and invoking tick_dep_set_cpu(), thus preventing
this race.
