Subject: [PATCH] pid: fix lockdep deadlock warning due to ucount_lock
Date: Wed,  4 Jan 2017 19:28:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1483586894-3521-1-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org> (raw)

=========================================================
[ INFO: possible irq lock inversion dependency detected ]
4.10.0-rc2-00024-g4aecec9-dirty #118 Tainted: G        W
---------------------------------------------------------
swapper/1/0 just changed the state of lock:
 (&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock){-.....}, at: [<ffffffffbd0a1bc6>] __lock_task_sighand+0xb6/0x2c0
but this lock took another, HARDIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
 (ucounts_lock){+.+...}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
other info that might help us debug this:
Chain exists of:                 &(&sighand->siglock)->rlock --> &(&tty->ctrl_lock)->rlock --> ucounts_lock
 Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(ucounts_lock);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);
                               lock(&(&tty->ctrl_lock)->rlock);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&(&sighand->siglock)->rlock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

This patch removes a dependency between rlock and ucount_lock.
