Commit 2b5067a8143e ("mm: mmap_lock: add tracepoints around lock
acquisition") introduced TRACE_MMAP_LOCK_EVENT() macro as below.

#define TRACE_MMAP_LOCK_EVENT(type, mm, ...)                                   \
       do {                                                                   \
               const char *memcg_path;                                        \
               preempt_disable();                                             \
               memcg_path = get_mm_memcg_path(mm);                            \
               trace_mmap_lock_##type(mm,                                     \
                                      memcg_path != NULL ? memcg_path : "",   \
                                      ##__VA_ARGS__);                         \
               if (likely(memcg_path != NULL))                                \
                       put_memcg_path_buf();                                  \
               preempt_enable();                                              \
       } while (0)

Commit d01079f3d0c0 ("mm/mmap_lock: remove dead code for !CONFIG_TRACING
configurations") moved the location of this macro.

Commit 832b50725373 ("mm: mmap_lock: use local locks instead of disabling
preemption") replaced preempt_disable() with local_lock(&memcg_paths.lock)
based on an argument that preempt_disable() has to be avoided because
get_mm_memcg_path() might sleep if PREEMPT_RT=y.

The local_lock() macro is defined as

  #define local_lock(lock)		__local_lock(lock)

in include/linux/local_lock.h and __local_lock() macro is defined as

  #define __local_lock(lock)					\
  	do {							\
  		preempt_disable();				\
  		local_lock_acquire(this_cpu_ptr(lock));		\
  	} while (0)

if PREEMPT_RT=n or

  #define __local_lock(__lock)					\
  	do {							\
  		migrate_disable();				\
  		spin_lock(this_cpu_ptr((__lock)));		\
  	} while (0)

if PREEMPT_RT=y in include/linux/local_lock_internal.h .
Note that the difference between preempt_disable() and migrate_disable().

Commit d01079f3d0c0 ("mm/mmap_lock: remove dead code for !CONFIG_TRACING
configurations") by error replaced local_lock() with preempt_disable(),
and commit e904c2ccf9b5 ("mm: mmap_lock: fix disabling preemption
directly") replaced preempt_disable() with local_lock().



Now, syzbot started reporting

  inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage.

and

  inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage.

messages, for local_lock() does not disable IRQ.

I think we can replace local_lock() with local_lock_irqsave() like

But a fundamental question arises here; why do we need to hold
memcg_paths.lock here, for as of commit 44ef20baed8e ("Merge tag
's390-6.10-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux"),
"git grep -nF memcg_paths" indicates that memcg_paths.lock is used within
only TRACE_MMAP_LOCK_EVENT() macro.

  mm/mmap_lock.c:48:static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct memcg_path, memcg_paths) = {
  mm/mmap_lock.c:63:              memcg_path = per_cpu_ptr(&memcg_paths, cpu);
  mm/mmap_lock.c:101:             rcu_assign_pointer(per_cpu_ptr(&memcg_paths, cpu)->buf, new);
  mm/mmap_lock.c:135:     struct memcg_path *memcg_path = this_cpu_ptr(&memcg_paths);
  mm/mmap_lock.c:152:     local_sub(MEMCG_PATH_BUF_SIZE, &this_cpu_ptr(&memcg_paths)->buf_idx);
  mm/mmap_lock.c:159:             local_lock(&memcg_paths.lock);                                 \
  mm/mmap_lock.c:166:             local_unlock(&memcg_paths.lock);                               \

That is, what is the reason we can't revert commit 832b50725373 and
make the TRACE_MMAP_LOCK_EVENT() macro to branch directly like below?

 int trace_mmap_lock_reg(void)

Is the reason because &buf[idx] in get_memcg_path_buf() might become out of
bounds due to preemption in normal context if PREEMPT_RT=y ? If so, can't we
add "idx >=0 && idx < CONTEXT_COUNT" check into get_memcg_path_buf() and
return NULL if preemption (or interrupt or recursion if any) exhausted the per
cpu buffer?

  /*
   * How many contexts our trace events might be called in: normal, softirq, irq,
   * and NMI.
   */
  #define CONTEXT_COUNT 4
