[ Upstream commit 99ee9317a1305cd5626736785c8cb38b0e47686c ]
There is a recursive lock on the cpu_hotplug_lock.
In kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:<start/stop>_per_cpu_kthreads: - start_per_cpu_kthreads calls cpus_read_lock() and if start_kthreads returns a error it will call stop_per_cpu_kthreads. - stop_per_cpu_kthreads then calls cpus_read_lock() again causing deadlock.
Fix this by calling cpus_read_unlock() before calling stop_per_cpu_kthreads. This behavior can also be seen in commit f46b16520a08 ("trace/hwlat: Implement the per-cpu mode").
This error was noticed during the LTP ftrace-stress-test:
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected -------------------------------------------- sh/275006 is trying to acquire lock: ffffffffb02f5400 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: stop_per_cpu_kthreads
but task is already holding lock: ffffffffb02f5400 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: start_per_cpu_kthreads
other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 ---- lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
