[ Upstream commit 68037aa78208f34bda4e5cd76c357f718b838cbb ]

The usage is now hidden in an #ifdef, so we need to move
the variable itself in there as well to avoid this warning:

  kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:203:21: error: unused variable 'class' [-Werror,-Wunused-variable]

[ Upstream commit 68d41d8c94a31dfb8233ab90b9baf41a2ed2da68 ]

The stats variable nr_unused_locks is incremented every time a new lock
class is register and decremented when the lock is first used in
__lock_acquire(). And after all, it is shown and checked in lockdep_stats.

However, under configurations that either CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS or
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not defined:

The commit:

  091806515124b20 ("locking/lockdep: Consolidate lock usage bit initialization")

missed marking the LOCK_USED flag at IRQ usage initialization because
as mark_usage() is not called. And the commit:

  886532aee3cd42d ("locking/lockdep: Move mark_lock() inside CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS &amp;&amp; CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING")

further made mark_lock() not defined such that the LOCK_USED cannot be
marked at all when the lock is first acquired.

As a result, we fix this by not showing and checking the stats under such
configurations for lockdep_stats.

[ Upstream commit d9349850e188b8b59e5322fda17ff389a1c0cd7d ]

The sequence

	static DEFINE_WW_CLASS(test_ww_class);

	struct ww_acquire_ctx ww_ctx;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_a;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_b;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_c;
	struct mutex lock_c;

	ww_acquire_init(&amp;ww_ctx, &amp;test_ww_class);

	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_a, &amp;test_ww_class);
	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_b, &amp;test_ww_class);
	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_c, &amp;test_ww_class);

	mutex_init(&amp;lock_c);

	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_a, &amp;ww_ctx);

	mutex_lock(&amp;lock_c);

	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_b, &amp;ww_ctx);
	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_c, &amp;ww_ctx);

	mutex_unlock(&amp;lock_c);	(*)

	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_c);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_b);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_a);

	ww_acquire_fini(&amp;ww_ctx); (**)

will trigger the following error in __lock_release() when calling
mutex_release() at **:

	DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(depth &lt;= 0)

The problem is that the hlock merging happening at * updates the
references for test_ww_class incorrectly to 3 whereas it should've
updated it to 4 (representing all the instances for ww_ctx and
ww_lock_[abc]).

Fix this by updating the references during merging correctly taking into
account that we can have non-zero references (both for the hlock that we
merge into another hlock or for the hlock we are merging into).

[ Upstream commit 8c8889d8eaf4501ae4aaf870b6f8f55db5d5109a ]

The sequence

	static DEFINE_WW_CLASS(test_ww_class);

	struct ww_acquire_ctx ww_ctx;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_a;
	struct ww_mutex ww_lock_b;
	struct mutex lock_c;
	struct mutex lock_d;

	ww_acquire_init(&amp;ww_ctx, &amp;test_ww_class);

	mutex_lock(&amp;lock_c);

	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_b, &amp;ww_ctx);

	mutex_unlock(&amp;lock_c);		(*)

	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_b);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_a);

	ww_acquire_fini(&amp;ww_ctx);

triggers the following WARN in __lock_release() when doing the unlock at *:

	DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(curr-&gt;lockdep_depth != depth - 1);

The problem is that the WARN check doesn't take into account the merging
of ww_lock_a and ww_lock_b which results in decreasing curr-&gt;lockdep_depth
by 2 not only 1.

Note that the following sequence doesn't trigger the WARN, since there
won't be any hlock merging.

	ww_acquire_init(&amp;ww_ctx, &amp;test_ww_class);

	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_a, &amp;test_ww_class);
	ww_mutex_init(&amp;ww_lock_b, &amp;test_ww_class);

	mutex_init(&amp;lock_c);
	mutex_init(&amp;lock_d);

	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_a, &amp;ww_ctx);

	mutex_lock(&amp;lock_c);
	mutex_lock(&amp;lock_d);

	ww_mutex_lock(&amp;ww_lock_b, &amp;ww_ctx);

	mutex_unlock(&amp;lock_d);

	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_b);
	ww_mutex_unlock(&amp;ww_lock_a);

	mutex_unlock(&amp;lock_c);

	ww_acquire_fini(&amp;ww_ctx);

In general both of the above two sequences are valid and shouldn't
trigger any lockdep warning.

Fix this by taking the decrement due to the hlock merging into account
during lock release and hlock class re-setting. Merging can't happen
during lock downgrading since there won't be a new possibility to merge
hlocks in that case, so add a WARN if merging still happens then.

<title>locking/lock_events: Use this_cpu_add() when necessary</title>

The kernel test robot has reported that the use of __this_cpu_add()
causes bug messages like:

  BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ...

Given the imprecise nature of the count and the possibility of resetting
the count and doing the measurement again, this is not really a big
problem to use the unprotected __this_cpu_*() functions.

To make the preemption checking code happy, the this_cpu_*() functions
will be used if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is defined.

The imprecise nature of the locking counts are also documented with
the suggestion that we should run the measurement a few times with the
counts reset in between to get a better picture of what is going on
under the hood.

<title>locking/rwsem: Prevent decrement of reader count before increment</title>
<updated>2019-05-07T06:46:46+00:00</updated>

<name>Waiman Long</name>

<published>2019-04-28T21:25:38+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=a9e9bcb45b1525ba7aea26ed9441e8632aeeda58'/>
<id>a9e9bcb45b1525ba7aea26ed9441e8632aeeda58</id>
<content type='text'>
During my rwsem testing, it was found that after a down_read(), the
reader count may occasionally become 0 or even negative. Consequently,
a writer may steal the lock at that time and execute with the reader
in parallel thus breaking the mutual exclusion guarantee of the write
lock. In other words, both readers and writer can become rwsem owners
simultaneously.

The current reader wakeup code does it in one pass to clear waiter-&gt;task
and put them into wake_q before fully incrementing the reader count.
Once waiter-&gt;task is cleared, the corresponding reader may see it,
finish the critical section and do unlock to decrement the count before
the count is incremented. This is not a problem if there is only one
reader to wake up as the count has been pre-incremented by 1.  It is
a problem if there are more than one readers to be woken up and writer
can steal the lock.

The wakeup was actually done in 2 passes before the following v4.9 commit:

  70800c3c0cc5 ("locking/rwsem: Scan the wait_list for readers only once")

To fix this problem, the wakeup is now done in two passes
again. In the first pass, we collect the readers and count them.
The reader count is then fully incremented. In the second pass, the
waiter-&gt;task is then cleared and they are put into wake_q to be woken
up later.
