tracing/osnoise: Fix possible recursive locking in stop_per_cpu_kthreads
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 3 locks held by sh/275006: #0: ffff8881023f0470 (sb_writers#24){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: ksys_write #1: ffffffffb084f430 (trace_types_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rb_simple_write #2: ffffffffb02f5400 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: start_per_cpu_kthreads Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220919144932.3064014-1-npache@redhat.com Fixes: c8895e271f79 ("trace/osnoise: Support hotplug operations") Signed-off-by: Nico Pache <npache@redhat.com> Acked-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
