Subject: [PATCH] locking: lockdep: Decrease nr_unused_locks if lock unused in zap_class()
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2025 11:08:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250326180831.510348-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com> (raw)

Currently, when a lock class is allocated, nr_unused_locks will be
increased by 1, until it gets used: nr_unused_locks will be decreased by
1 in mark_lock(). However, one scenario is missed: a lock class may be
zapped without even being used once. This could result into a situation
that nr_unused_locks != 0 but no unused lock class is active in the
system, and when `cat /proc/lockdep_stats`, a WARN_ON() will
be triggered in a CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y kernel:

[...] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(debug_atomic_read(nr_unused_locks) != nr_unused)
[...] WARNING: CPU: 41 PID: 1121 at kernel/locking/lockdep_proc.c:283 lockdep_stats_show+0xba9/0xbd0

And as a result, lockdep will be disabled after this.

Therefore, nr_unused_locks needs to be accounted correctly at
zap_class() time.
