Subject: [PATCH 13/13] srcu: Restrict atomic-SRCU non_block annotation to task context
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 15:58:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907075829.2073224-14-kunwu.chan@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907075829.2073224-1-kunwu.chan@linux.dev>
From: Kunwu Chan <kunwu.chan@gmail.com>
srcu_read_lock_atomic() and srcu_read_unlock_atomic() arm and disarm
might_sleep() checks via non_block_start()/non_block_end(), skipping
hardirq so the update does not land on the interrupted task's
->non_block_count.
Inline softirqs run on the interrupted task's stack as well, so a
timer callback running atomic-SRCU readers races with the interrupted
task's own ->non_block_count updates, as KCSAN reports:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in srcu_torture_read_lock / srcu_torture_read_unlock
write to 0xffffa00f818ea418 of 4 bytes by interrupt on cpu 0:
srcu_torture_read_lock+0x422/0x470
rcutorture_one_extend+0xdc/0x600
rcu_torture_one_read+0xd1/0x330
rcu_torture_timer+0x75/0x140
call_timer_fn+0xe6/0x2f0
...
run_timer_softirq+0xb7/0x130
handle_softirqs+0xfc/0x3f0
__irq_exit_rcu+0x8e/0x100
Use in_task() so the annotation is applied only in task context; it
is redundant elsewhere because might_sleep() already warns about
sleeping from atomic context.
