From dc5d4d4c12246b802177742e965fcf81691d2da8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2024 13:08:22 -0800 Subject: rcu-tasks: Add data to eliminate RCU-tasks/do_exit() deadlocks [ Upstream commit bfe93930ea1ea3c6c115a7d44af6e4fea609067e ] Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop() results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce. In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time (for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could just as well take advantage of that fact. This commit therefore adds the data structures that will be needed to rely on these quiescent states and to eliminate these deadlocks.
