[ Upstream commit 1a702dc88e150487c9c173a249b3d236498b9183 ]
Previously the protection of kernfs_pr_cont_buf was piggy backed by rename_lock, which means that pr_cont() needs to be protected under rename_lock. This can cause potential circular lock dependencies.
If there is an OOM, we have the following call hierarchy:
-> cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() -> pr_cont_cgroup_name() -> pr_cont_kernfs_name()
pr_cont_kernfs_name() will grab rename_lock and call printk. So we have the following lock dependencies:
kernfs_rename_lock -> console_sem
Sometimes, printk does a wakeup before releasing console_sem, which has the dependence chain:
console_sem -> p->pi_lock -> rq->lock
Now, imagine one wants to read cgroup_name under rq->lock, for example, printing cgroup_name in a tracepoint in the scheduler code. They will be holding rq->lock and take rename_lock:
rq->lock -> kernfs_rename_lock
Now they will deadlock.
A prevention to this circular lock dependency is to separate the protection of pr_cont_buf from rename_lock. In principle, rename_lock is to protect the integrity of cgroup name when copying to buf. Once pr_cont_buf has got its content, rename_lock can be dropped. So it's safe to drop rename_lock after kernfs_name_locked (and kernfs_path_from_node_locked) and rely on a dedicated pr_cont_lock to protect pr_cont_buf.
