During the recent conversion of cgroup to kernfs, cgroup_tree_mutex which nests above both the kernfs s_active protection and cgroup_mutex is added to synchronize cgroup file type operations as cgroup_mutex needed to be grabbed from some file operations and thus can't be put above s_active protection. While this arrangement mostly worked for cgroup, this triggered the following lockdep warning. ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.15.0-rc3-next-20140430-sasha-00016-g4e281fa-dirty #429 Tainted: G W ------------------------------------------------------- trinity-c173/9024 is trying to acquire lock: (blkcg_pol_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: blkcg_reset_stats (include/linux/spinlock.h:328 block/blk-cgroup.c:455) but task is already holding lock: (s_active#89){++++.+}, at: kernfs_fop_write (fs/kernfs/file.c:283) which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #2 (s_active#89){++++.+}: lock_acquire (arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:14 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3602) __kernfs_remove (arch/x86/include/asm/atomic.h:27 fs/kernfs/dir.c:352 fs/kernfs/dir.c:1024) kernfs_remove_by_name_ns (fs/kernfs/dir.c:1219) cgroup_addrm_files (include/linux/kernfs.h:427 kernel/cgroup.c:1074 kernel/cgroup.c:2899) cgroup_clear_dir (kernel/cgroup.c:1092 (discriminator 2)) rebind_subsystems (kernel/cgroup.c:1144) cgroup_setup_root (kernel/cgroup.c:1568) cgroup_mount (kernel/cgroup.c:1716) mount_fs (fs/super.c:1094) vfs_kern_mount (fs/namespace.c:899) do_mount (fs/namespace.c:2238 fs/namespace.c:2561) SyS_mount (fs/namespace.c:2758 fs/namespace.c:2729) tracesys (arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:746) -> #1 (cgroup_tree_mutex){+.+.+.}: lock_acquire (arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:14 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3602) mutex_lock_nested (kernel/locking/mutex.c:486 kernel/locking/mutex.c:587) cgroup_add_cftypes (include/linux/list.h:76 kernel/cgroup.c:3040) blkcg_policy_register (block/blk-cgroup.c:1106) throtl_init (block/blk-throttle.c:1694) do_one_initcall (init/main.c:789) kernel_init_freeable (init/main.c:854 init/main.c:863 init/main.c:882 init/main.c:1003) kernel_init (init/main.c:935) ret_from_fork (arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:552) -> #0 (blkcg_pol_mutex){+.+.+.}: __lock_acquire (kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1840 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1945 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:2131 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3182) lock_acquire (arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:14 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3602) mutex_lock_nested (kernel/locking/mutex.c:486 kernel/locking/mutex.c:587) blkcg_reset_stats (include/linux/spinlock.h:328 block/blk-cgroup.c:455) cgroup_file_write (kernel/cgroup.c:2714) kernfs_fop_write (fs/kernfs/file.c:295) vfs_write (fs/read_write.c:532) SyS_write (fs/read_write.c:584 fs/read_write.c:576) tracesys (arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:746) other info that might help us debug this: Chain exists of: blkcg_pol_mutex --> cgroup_tree_mutex --> s_active#89 Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(s_active#89); lock(cgroup_tree_mutex); lock(s_active#89); lock(blkcg_pol_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** 4 locks held by trinity-c173/9024: #0: (&f->f_pos_lock){+.+.+.}, at: __fdget_pos (fs/file.c:714) #1: (sb_writers#18){.+.+.+}, at: vfs_write (include/linux/fs.h:2255 fs/read_write.c:530) #2: (&of->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: kernfs_fop_write (fs/kernfs/file.c:283) #3: (s_active#89){++++.+}, at: kernfs_fop_write (fs/kernfs/file.c:283) stack backtrace: CPU: 3 PID: 9024 Comm: trinity-c173 Tainted: G W 3.15.0-rc3-next-20140430-sasha-00016-g4e281fa-dirty #429 ffffffff919687b0 ffff8805f6373bb8 ffffffff8e52cdbb 0000000000000002 ffffffff919d8400 ffff8805f6373c08 ffffffff8e51fb88 0000000000000004 ffff8805f6373c98 ffff8805f6373c08 ffff88061be70d98 ffff88061be70dd0 Call Trace: dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52) print_circular_bug (kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1216) __lock_acquire (kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1840 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1945 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:2131 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3182) lock_acquire (arch/x86/include/asm/current.h:14 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3602) mutex_lock_nested (kernel/locking/mutex.c:486 kernel/locking/mutex.c:587) blkcg_reset_stats (include/linux/spinlock.h:328 block/blk-cgroup.c:455) cgroup_file_write (kernel/cgroup.c:2714) kernfs_fop_write (fs/kernfs/file.c:295) vfs_write (fs/read_write.c:532) SyS_write (fs/read_write.c:584 fs/read_write.c:576) This is a highly unlikely but valid circular dependency between "echo 1 > blkcg.reset_stats" and cfq module [un]loading. cgroup is going through further locking update which will remove this complication but for now let's use trylock on blkcg_pol_mutex and retry the file operation if the trylock fails.
