Subject: [PATCH] timer: fix a debugobjects warning in del_timer()
Date: Sat,  7 Dec 2019 02:58:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191207075828.2347-1-cai@lca.pw> (raw)

Since the commit e33026831bdb ("x86/intel_rdt/mbm: Handle counter
overflow"), it will generate a debugobjects warning while offlining
CPUs.

ODEBUG: assert_init not available (active state 0) object type:
timer_list hint: 0x0
WARNING: CPU: 143 PID: 789 at lib/debugobjects.c:484
debug_print_object+0xfe/0x140
Hardware name: HP Synergy 680 Gen9/Synergy 680 Gen9 Compute Module, BIOS
I40 05/23/2018
RIP: 0010:debug_print_object+0xfe/0x140
Call Trace:
 debug_object_assert_init+0x1f5/0x240
 del_timer+0x6f/0xf0
 try_to_grab_pending+0x42/0x3c0
 cancel_delayed_work+0x7d/0x150
 resctrl_offline_cpu+0x3c0/0x520
 cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x197/0x1120

 smpboot_thread_fn+0x255/0x440
 kthread+0x1e6/0x210
 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

This is because in domain_remove_cpu() when "cpu == d->mbm_work_cpu", it
calls cancel_delayed_work(&d->mbm_over) to deactivate the timer, and
then mbm_setup_overflow_handler() calls schedule_delayed_work_on() with
0 delay which does not activiate the timer in __queue_delayed_work().

Later, when the last CPU in the same L3 cache goes offline, it calls
cancel_delayed_work(&d->mbm_over) again in domain_remove_cpu() and
trigger the warning because the timer is still inactive.

Since del_timer() could be called on both active and inactive timers,
debug_assert_init() should be called only when there is an active timer.
