Inside drm_clients_info, the rcu_read_lock is held to lock pid_task()->comm. However, within this protected section, a call to drm_is_current_master is made, which involves a mutex lock in a future patch. However, this is illegal because the mutex lock might block while in the RCU read-side critical section. Since drm_is_current_master isn't protected by rcu_read_lock, we avoid this by moving it out of the RCU critical section. The following report came from intel-gfx ci's igt@debugfs_test@read_all_entries testcase: ============================= [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] 5.13.0-CI-Patchwork_20515+ #1 Tainted: G W ----------------------------- debugfs_test/1101 is trying to lock: ffff888132d901a8 (&dev->master_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_is_current_master+0x1e/0x50 other info that might help us debug this: context-{4:4} 3 locks held by debugfs_test/1101: #0: ffff88810fdffc90 (&p->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: seq_read_iter+0x53/0x3b0 #1: ffff888132d90240 (&dev->filelist_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_clients_info+0x63/0x2a0 #2: ffffffff82734220 (rcu_read_lock){....}-{1:2}, at: drm_clients_info+0x1b1/0x2a0 stack backtrace: CPU: 8 PID: 1101 Comm: debugfs_test Tainted: G W 5.13.0-CI-Patchwork_20515+ #1 Hardware name: Intel Corporation CometLake Client Platform/CometLake S UDIMM (ERB/CRB), BIOS CMLSFWR1.R00.1263.D00.1906260926 06/26/2019 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xad __lock_acquire.cold.78+0x2af/0x2ca lock_acquire+0xd3/0x300 ? drm_is_current_master+0x1e/0x50 ? __mutex_lock+0x76/0x970 ? lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xbf/0x130 __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 ? drm_is_current_master+0x1e/0x50 ? drm_is_current_master+0x1e/0x50 ? drm_is_current_master+0x1e/0x50 drm_is_current_master+0x1e/0x50 drm_clients_info+0x107/0x2a0 seq_read_iter+0x178/0x3b0 seq_read+0x104/0x150 full_proxy_read+0x4e/0x80 vfs_read+0xa5/0x1b0 ksys_read+0x5a/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Signed-off-by: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi <desmondcheongzx@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210712043508.11584-3-desmondcheongzx@gmail.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
