Hao Luo 6fd031799e kernfs: Separate kernfs_pr_cont_buf and rename_lock.
[ 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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
