PCI: Avoid PCI device removing/rescanning through sysfs triggers a de…
…adlock This patch fixes deadlock warning in removing/rescanning through sysfs when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled. The issue can be reproduced by these steps: 1. Enable CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING via defconfig or menuconfig 2. Insert Ethernet card into PCIe CH0 and start up. After kernel starting up, execute the following command. echo 1 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000\:00/device/0000\:00\:00.0/remove 3. Rescan PCI device by this command echo 1 > /sys/class/pci_bus/0000\:00/bus_rescan The deadlock warnings will occur. ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 4.14.70-ltsi-yocto-standard #27 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- sh/3402 is trying to acquire lock: (kn->count#78){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x50/0xa8 but task is already holding lock: (kn->count#78){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_self+0xe0/0x130 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(kn->count#78); lock(kn->count#78); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 4 locks held by sh/3402: #0: (sb_writers#4){.+.+}, at: vfs_write+0x198/0x1b0 #1: (&of->mutex){+.+.}, at: kernfs_fop_write+0x108/0x210 #2: (kn->count#78){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_self+0xe0/0x130 #3: (pci_rescan_remove_lock){+.+.}, at: pci_lock_rescan_remove+0x1c/0x28 stack backtrace: CPU: 3 PID: 3402 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.14.70-ltsi-yocto-standard #27 Hardware name: Renesas Salvator-X 2nd version board based on r8a7795 ES3.0+ with 8GiB (4 x 2 GiB) (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x3d8 show_stack+0x14/0x20 dump_stack+0xbc/0xf4 __lock_acquire+0x930/0x18a8 lock_acquire+0x48/0x68 __kernfs_remove+0x280/0x2f8 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x50/0xa8 remove_files.isra.0+0x38/0x78 sysfs_remove_group+0x4c/0xa0 sysfs_remove_groups+0x38/0x60 device_remove_attrs+0x54/0x78 device_del+0x1ac/0x308 pci_remove_bus_device+0x78/0xf8 pci_remove_bus_device+0x34/0xf8 pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked+0x24/0x38 remove_store+0x6c/0x78 dev_attr_store+0x18/0x28 sysfs_kf_write+0x4c/0x78 kernfs_fop_write+0x138/0x210 __vfs_write+0x18/0x118 vfs_write+0xa4/0x1b0 SyS_write+0x48/0xb0 This warning occurs due to a self-deletion attribute using in the sysfs PCI device directory. This kind of attribute is really tricky, it does not allow pci framework drop this attribute until all active .show() and .store() callbacks have finished unless sysfs_break_active_protection() is called. Hence this patch avoids writing into this attribute triggers a deadlock.
