[ Upstream commit 99ee9317a1 ]
There is a recursive lock on the cpu_hotplug_lock.
In kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:<start/stop>_per_cpu_kthreads:
- start_per_cpu_kthreads calls cpus_read_lock() and if
start_kthreads returns a error it will call stop_per_cpu_kthreads.
- stop_per_cpu_kthreads then calls cpus_read_lock() again causing
deadlock.
Fix this by calling cpus_read_unlock() before calling
stop_per_cpu_kthreads. This behavior can also be seen in commit
f46b16520a ("trace/hwlat: Implement the per-cpu mode").
This error was noticed during the LTP ftrace-stress-test:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
--------------------------------------------
sh/275006 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffffb02f5400 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: stop_per_cpu_kthreads
but task is already holding lock:
ffffffffb02f5400 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: start_per_cpu_kthreads
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
