From 6e820b06a7abffff8f943ef223291d85deee0d4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2021 23:12:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 001/166] rcu/tree: Protect rcu_rdp_is_offloaded() invocations on RT Valentin reported warnings about suspicious RCU usage on RT kernels. Those happen when offloading of RCU callbacks is enabled: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.13.0-rt1 #20 Not tainted ----------------------------- kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:69 Unsafe read of RCU_NOCB offloaded state! rcu_rdp_is_offloaded (kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:69 kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:58) rcu_core (kernel/rcu/tree.c:2332 kernel/rcu/tree.c:2398 kernel/rcu/tree.c:2777) rcu_cpu_kthread (./include/linux/bottom_half.h:32 kernel/rcu/tree.c:2876) The reason is that rcu_rdp_is_offloaded() is invoked without one of the required protections on RT enabled kernels because local_bh_disable() does not disable preemption on RT. Valentin proposed to add a local lock to the code in question, but that's suboptimal in several aspects: 1) local locks add extra code to !RT kernels for no value. 2) All possible callsites have to audited and amended when affected possible at an outer function level due to lock nesting issues. 3) As the local lock has to be taken at the outer functions it's required to release and reacquire them in the inner code sections which might voluntary schedule, e.g. rcu_do_batch(). Both callsites of rcu_rdp_is_offloaded() which trigger this check invoke rcu_rdp_is_offloaded() in the variable declaration section right at the top of the functions. But the actual usage of the result is either within a section which provides the required protections or after such a section. So the obvious solution is to move the invocation into the code sections which provide the proper protections, which solves the problem for RT and does not have any impact on !RT kernels.
