net: fix a lockdep splat
We have for each socket : One spinlock (sk_slock.slock) One rwlock (sk_callback_lock) Possible scenarios are : (A) (this is used in net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c) read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) (without blocking BH) <BH> spin_lock(&sk->sk_slock.slock); ... read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock); ... (B) write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock) stuff write_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock) (C) spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_slock) ... write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock) stuff write_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock) spin_unlock_bh(&sk->sk_slock) This (C) case conflicts with (A) : CPU1 [A] CPU2 [C] read_lock(callback_lock) <BH> spin_lock_bh(slock) <wait to spin_lock(slock)> <wait to write_lock_bh(callback_lock)> We have one problematic (C) use case in inet_csk_listen_stop() : local_bh_disable(); bh_lock_sock(child); // spin_lock_bh(&sk->sk_slock) WARN_ON(sock_owned_by_user(child)); ... sock_orphan(child); // write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock) lockdep is not happy with this, as reported by Tetsuo Handa It seems only way to deal with this is to use read_lock_bh(callbacklock) everywhere. Thanks to Jarek for pointing a bug in my first attempt and suggesting this solution.
