percpu_ref_tryget() and percpu_ref_tryget_live() should return "true" IFF they acquire a reference. But the return value from atomic_long_inc_not_zero() is a long and may have high bits set, e.g. PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS, and the return value of the tryget routines is bool so the reference may actually be acquired but the routines return "false" which results in a reference leak since the caller assumes it does not need to do a corresponding percpu_ref_put(). This was seen when performing CPU hotplug during I/O, as hangs in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait where percpu_ref_kill (blk_mq_freeze_queue_start) raced with percpu_ref_tryget (blk_mq_timeout_work). Sample stack trace: __switch_to+0x2c0/0x450 __schedule+0x2f8/0x970 schedule+0x48/0xc0 blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0x94/0x120 blk_mq_queue_reinit_work+0xb8/0x180 blk_mq_queue_reinit_prepare+0x84/0xa0 cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x17c/0x600 cpuhp_up_callbacks+0x58/0x150 _cpu_up+0xf0/0x1c0 do_cpu_up+0x120/0x150 cpu_subsys_online+0x64/0xe0 device_online+0xb4/0x120 online_store+0xb4/0xc0 dev_attr_store+0x68/0xa0 sysfs_kf_write+0x80/0xb0 kernfs_fop_write+0x17c/0x250 __vfs_write+0x6c/0x1e0 vfs_write+0xd0/0x270 SyS_write+0x6c/0x110 system_call+0x38/0xe0 Examination of the queue showed a single reference (no PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS, and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD, __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set) and no requests. However, conditions at the time of the race are count of PERCPU_COUNT_BIAS + 0 and __PERCPU_REF_DEAD and __PERCPU_REF_ATOMIC set. The fix is to make the tryget routines use an actual boolean internally instead of the atomic long result truncated to a int. Fixes: |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
