mm/slub.c: run free_partial() outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
With debugobjects enabled and using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, when a
kmem_cache_node is destroyed the call_rcu() may trigger a slab
allocation to fill the debug object pool (__debug_object_init:fill_pool).

Everywhere but during kmem_cache_destroy(), discard_slab() is performed
outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock and avoids a lockdep warning
about potential recursion:

  =============================================
  [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
  4.8.0-rc1-gfxbench+ coreos#1 Tainted: G     U
  ---------------------------------------------
  rmmod/8895 is trying to acquire lock:
   (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff811c80d7>] get_partial_node.isra.63+0x47/0x430

  but task is already holding lock:
   (&(&n->list_lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff811cbda4>] __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x54/0x320

  other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
        CPU0
        ----
   lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock);
   lock(&(&n->list_lock)->rlock);

   *** DEADLOCK ***
   May be due to missing lock nesting notation
   5 locks held by rmmod/8895:
