The following lockdep splat was observed when a certain hugetlbfs test was run: ================================ WARNING: inconsistent lock state 4.18.0-159.el8.x86_64+debug #1 Tainted: G W --------- - - -------------------------------- inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage. swapper/30/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE1:SE0] takes: ffffffff9acdc038 (hugetlb_lock){+.?.}, at: free_huge_page+0x36f/0xaa0 {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} state was registered at: lock_acquire+0x14f/0x3b0 _raw_spin_lock+0x30/0x70 __nr_hugepages_store_common+0x11b/0xb30 hugetlb_sysctl_handler_common+0x209/0x2d0 proc_sys_call_handler+0x37f/0x450 vfs_write+0x157/0x460 ksys_write+0xb8/0x170 do_syscall_64+0xa5/0x4d0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6a/0xdf irq event stamp: 691296 hardirqs last enabled at (691296): [<ffffffff99bb034b>] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x4b/0x60 hardirqs last disabled at (691295): [<ffffffff99bb0ad2>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x22/0x81 softirqs last enabled at (691284): [<ffffffff97ff0c63>] irq_enter+0xc3/0xe0 softirqs last disabled at (691285): [<ffffffff97ff0ebe>] irq_exit+0x23e/0x2b0 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(hugetlb_lock); <Interrupt> lock(hugetlb_lock); *** DEADLOCK *** : Call Trace: <IRQ> __lock_acquire+0x146b/0x48c0 lock_acquire+0x14f/0x3b0 _raw_spin_lock+0x30/0x70 free_huge_page+0x36f/0xaa0 bio_check_pages_dirty+0x2fc/0x5c0 clone_endio+0x17f/0x670 [dm_mod] blk_update_request+0x276/0xe50 scsi_end_request+0x7b/0x6a0 scsi_io_completion+0x1c6/0x1570 blk_done_softirq+0x22e/0x350 __do_softirq+0x23d/0xad8 irq_exit+0x23e/0x2b0 do_IRQ+0x11a/0x200 common_interrupt+0xf/0xf </IRQ> Both the hugetbl_lock and the subpool lock can be acquired in free_huge_page(). One way to solve the problem is to make both locks irq-safe. However, Mike Kravetz had learned that the hugetlb_lock is held for a linear scan of ALL hugetlb pages during a cgroup reparentling operation. So it is just too long to have irq disabled unless we can break hugetbl_lock down into finer-grained locks with shorter lock hold times. Another alternative is to defer the freeing to a workqueue job. This patch implements the deferred freeing by adding a free_hpage_workfn() work function to do the actual freeing. The free_huge_page() call in a non-task context saves the page to be freed in the hpage_freelist linked list in a lockless manner using the llist APIs. The generic workqueue is used to process the work, but a dedicated workqueue can be used instead if it is desirable to have the huge page freed ASAP. Thanks to Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> for suggesting the use of llist APIs which simplfy the code.
