sched: Fix race in task_call_func()
There is a very narrow race between schedule() and task_call_func(). CPU0 CPU1 __schedule() rq_lock(); prev_state = READ_ONCE(prev->__state); if (... && prev_state) { deactivate_tasl(rq, prev, ...) prev->on_rq = 0; task_call_func() raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock); state = READ_ONCE(p->__state); smp_rmb(); if (... || p->on_rq) // false!!! rq = __task_rq_lock() ret = func(); next = pick_next_task(); rq = context_switch(prev, next) prepare_lock_switch() spin_release(&__rq_lockp(rq)->dep_map...) So while the task is on it's way out, it still holds rq->lock for a little while, and right then task_call_func() comes in and figures it doesn't need rq->lock anymore (because the task is already dequeued -- but still running there) and then the __set_task_frozen() thing observes it's holding rq->lock and yells murder. Avoid this by waiting for p->on_cpu to get cleared, which guarantees the task is fully finished on the old CPU. ( While arguably the fixes tag is 'wrong' -- none of the previous task_call_func() users appears to care for this case. ) Fixes: f5d39b02 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic") Reported-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Tested-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Y1kdRNNfUeAU+FNl@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net
