[PATCH RESEND] scsi: fcoe: Fix potential deadlock on &fip->ctlr_lock
Posted by Chengfeng Ye 2 years, 4 months ago 
There is a long call chain that &fip->ctlr_lock is acquired by isr
fnic_isr_msix_wq_copy() under hard irq context. Thus other process
context code acquiring the lock should disable irq, otherwise
deadlock could happen if the irq preempt the execution while the
lock is held in process context on the same CPU.

[ISR]
fnic_isr_msix_wq_copy()
 -> fnic_wq_copy_cmpl_handler()
 -> fnic_fcpio_cmpl_handler()
 -> fnic_fcpio_flogi_reg_cmpl_handler()
 -> fnic_flush_tx()
 -> fnic_send_frame()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_els_send()
 -> spin_lock_bh(&fip->ctlr_lock)

[Process Context]
1. fcoe_ctlr_timer_work()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_flogi_send()
 -> spin_lock_bh(&fip->ctlr_lock)

2. fcoe_ctlr_recv_work()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_recv_handler()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_recv_els()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_announce()
 -> spin_lock_bh(&fip->ctlr_lock)

3. fcoe_ctlr_recv_work()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_recv_handler()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_recv_els()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_flogi_retry()
 -> spin_lock_bh(&fip->ctlr_lock)

4. -> fcoe_xmit()
 -> fcoe_ctlr_els_send()
 -> spin_lock_bh(&fip->ctlr_lock)

spin_lock_bh() is not enough since fnic_isr_msix_wq_copy() is a
hardirq.

These flaws were found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

The patch fix the potential deadlocks by spin_lock_irqsave() to
disable hard irq.

So you did not use lockdep or is the code path so unlikely that nobody
stumbled upon it before?

Shouldn't this have

I think so, the lock acquisition inside the interrupt is guarded by an
"unlikely"
if-branch condition inside fnic_send_frame(), so it happens that no one has
encountered the problem so far by using lockdep.

Just sent v2 patch to add the fixes tag


Thanks for the review,
