[PATCH v3] powerpc/pseries: Fix cpu_hotplug_lock acquisition in resize_hpt()

From: Gautham R. Shenoy
Date: Wed May 15 2019 - 03:47:55 EST


From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <ego@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The calls to arch_add_memory()/arch_remove_memory() are always made
with the read-side cpu_hotplug_lock acquired via
memory_hotplug_begin(). On pSeries,
arch_add_memory()/arch_remove_memory() eventually call resize_hpt()
which in turn calls stop_machine() which acquires the read-side
cpu_hotplug_lock again, thereby resulting in the recursive acquisition
of this lock.

Lockdep complains as follows in these code-paths.

swapper/0/1 is trying to acquire lock:
(____ptrval____) (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: stop_machine+0x2c/0x60

but task is already holding lock:
(____ptrval____) (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: mem_hotplug_begin+0x20/0x50

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0
----
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

*** DEADLOCK ***

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

#1: (____ptrval____) (cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++}, at: mem_hotplug_begin+0x20/0x50

Fix this issue by
1) Requiring all the calls to pseries_lpar_resize_hpt() be made
with cpu_hotplug_lock held.

2) In pseries_lpar_resize_hpt() invoke stop_machine_cpuslocked()
as a consequence of 1)

3) To satisfy 1), in hpt_order_set(), call mmu_hash_ops.resize_hpt()
with cpu_hotplug_lock held.
