[PATCH 1/2] padata: always acquire cpu_hotplug_lock before pinst->lock

From: Daniel Jordan
Date: Fri Aug 09 2019 - 15:29:18 EST


On a 5.2 kernel, lockdep complains when offlining a CPU and writing to a
parallel_cpumask sysfs file.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo ff > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/parallel_cpumask

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.2.0-padata-base+ #19 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
cpuhp/1/13 is trying to acquire lock:
... (&pinst->lock){+.+.}, at: padata_cpu_prep_down+0x37/0x70

but task is already holding lock:
... (cpuhp_state-down){+.+.}, at: cpuhp_thread_fun+0x34/0x240

which lock already depends on the new lock.

padata doesn't take cpu_hotplug_lock and pinst->lock in a consistent
order. Which should be first? CPU hotplug calls into padata with
cpu_hotplug_lock already held, so it should have priority.

Remove the cpu_hotplug_lock acquisition from __padata_stop and hoist it
up to padata_stop, before pd->lock is taken. That fixes a
recursive acquisition of cpu_hotplug_lock in padata_remove_cpu at the
same time:

padata_remove_cpu
mutex_lock(&pinst->lock)
get_online_cpus()
__padata_remove_cpu
__padata_stop
get_online_cpus()

The rest is just switching the order where the two locks are taken
together.

Fixes: 6751fb3c0e0c ("padata: Use get_online_cpus/put_online_cpus")
Fixes: 65ff577e6b6e ("padata: Rearrange set_cpumask functions")

Hello, these two patches are based on all padata fixes now in cryptodev-2.6.
