lock_sock_fast() and lock_sock_nested() contain lockdep annotations for the
sock::sk_lock.owned 'mutex'. sock::sk_lock.owned is not a regular mutex. It
is just lockdep wise equivalent. In fact it's an open coded trivial mutex
implementation with some interesting features.
sock::sk_lock.slock is a regular spinlock protecting the 'mutex'
representation sock::sk_lock.owned which is a plain boolean. If 'owned' is
true, then some other task holds the 'mutex', otherwise it is uncontended.
As this locking construct is obviously endangered by lock ordering issues as
any other locking primitive it got lockdep annotated via a dedicated
dependency map sock::sk_lock.dep_map which has to be updated at the lock
and unlock sites.
lock_sock_nested() is a straight forward 'mutex' lock operation:
might_sleep();
spin_lock_bh(sock::sk_lock.slock)
while (!try_lock(sock::sk_lock.owned)) {
spin_unlock_bh(sock::sk_lock.slock);
wait_for_release();
spin_lock_bh(sock::sk_lock.slock);
}
The lockdep annotation for sock::sk_lock.owned is for unknown reasons
_after_ the lock has been acquired, i.e. after the code block above and
after releasing sock::sk_lock.slock, but inside the bottom halves disabled
region:
spin_unlock(sock::sk_lock.slock);
mutex_acquire(&sk->sk_lock.dep_map, subclass, 0, _RET_IP_);
local_bh_enable();
The placement after the unlock is obvious because otherwise the
mutex_acquire() would nest into the spin lock held region.
But that's from the lockdep perspective still the wrong place:
1) The mutex_acquire() is issued _after_ the successful acquisition which
is pointless because in a dead lock scenario this point is never
reached which means that if the deadlock is the first instance of
exposing the wrong lock order lockdep does not have a chance to detect
it.
2) It only works because lockdep is rather lax on the context from which
the mutex_acquire() is issued. Acquiring a mutex inside a bottom halves
and therefore non-preemptible region is obviously invalid, except for a
trylock which is clearly not the case here.
This 'works' stops working on RT enabled kernels where the bottom halves
serialization is done via a local lock, which exposes this misplacement
because the 'mutex' and the local lock nest the wrong way around and
lockdep complains rightfully about a lock inversion.
The placement is wrong since the initial commit
