[PATCH] leds: trigger: fix potential deadlock with libata

From: Andrea Righi
Date: Mon Nov 02 2020 - 05:42:26 EST


We have the following potential deadlock condition:

========================================================
WARNING: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected
5.10.0-rc2+ #25 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------------------
swapper/3/0 just changed the state of lock:
ffff8880063bd618 (&host->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: ata_bmdma_interrupt+0x27/0x200
but this lock took another, HARDIRQ-READ-unsafe lock in the past:
(&trig->leddev_list_lock){.+.?}-{2:2}

and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.

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

CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&host->lock);
lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&host->lock);

*** DEADLOCK ***

no locks held by swapper/3/0.

the shortest dependencies between 2nd lock and 1st lock:

This lockdep splat is reported after:
commit e918188611f0 ("locking: More accurate annotations for read_lock()")

To clarify:
- read-locks are recursive only in interrupt context (when
in_interrupt() returns true)
- after acquiring host->lock in CPU1, another cpu (i.e. CPU2) may call
write_lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock) that would be blocked by CPU0
that holds trig->leddev_list_lock in read-mode
- when CPU1 (ata_ac_complete()) tries to read-lock
trig->leddev_list_lock, it would be blocked by the write-lock waiter
on CPU2 (because we are not in interrupt context, so the read-lock is
not recursive)
- at this point if an interrupt happens on CPU0 and
ata_bmdma_interrupt() is executed it will try to acquire host->lock,
that is held by CPU1, that is currently blocked by CPU2, so:

* CPU0 blocked by CPU1
* CPU1 blocked by CPU2
* CPU2 blocked by CPU0

*** DEADLOCK ***

The deadlock scenario is better represented by the following schema
(thanks to Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@xxxxxxxxx> for the schema and the
detailed explanation of the deadlock condition):

CPU 0: CPU 1: CPU 2:
----- ----- -----
led_trigger_event():
read_lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
<workqueue>
ata_hsm_qc_complete():
spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock);
write_lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
ata_port_freeze():
ata_do_link_abort():
ata_qc_complete():
ledtrig_disk_activity():
led_trigger_blink_oneshot():
read_lock(&trig->leddev_list_lock);
// ^ not in in_interrupt() context, so could get blocked by CPU 2
<interrupt>
ata_bmdma_interrupt():
spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock);

Fix by using read_lock_irqsave/irqrestore() in led_trigger_event(), so
that no interrupt can happen in between, preventing the deadlock
condition.
