| |
Scheduling-clock interrupts can arrive late in the CPU-offline process, after idle entry and the subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in lockdep complaints when the interrupt handler uses RCU:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 5.2.0-rc1+ #681 Not tainted ----------------------------- kernel/sched/fair.c:9542 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
RCU used illegally from offline CPU! rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 no locks held by swapper/5/0.

This happens rarely, but can be forced by happen more often by placing delays in cpuhp_report_idle_dead() following the call to rcu_report_dead(). With this in place, the folloiwng rcutorture scenario reproduces the problem within a few minute:
tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --cpus 8 --duration 5 --kconfig "CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --configs "TREE04"
This commit uses the crude by effective expedient of disabling interrupts via local_irq_disable() just prior to the call to rcu_report_dead(). This passes light testing. Of course, preventing the scheduling-clock interrupt might be preferable. However, this commit does have the advantage of allowing progress to be made on other RCU bugs.
