mm/memcg: Possible cgroup migrate/signal deadlock
With CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled (fedora rawhide kernel), running a simple podman test tosses a circular locking dependency warning. The podman container in question simpy contains the echo command and the libc/ld-linux needed to run it. The warning can be duplicated with just a single `podman build --network host --layers=false -t localhost/echo .` command, although the exact sequence that triggers the warning needs the task state to be changing the frozen state as well. So, its easier to duplicate with a slightly longer test case. I've attempted to trigger the actual deadlock with some standalone code and been unsuccessful, but looking at the code it appears to be a legitimate deadlock if a signal is being sent to the process from another thread while the task is migrating between cgroups. Attached is a fix which I'm confident fixes the problem, but I'm not really that confident in the fix since I don't fully understand all the possible states in the cgroup code. The fix avoids the deadlock by shifting the objcg->list manipulation to another spinlock and then using list_del_rcu in obj_cgroup_release. There is a bit more information in the actual BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2033016 including a shell script with the podman test/etc. (this machine has a new 5.17 splat before in the network driver) [ 87.700526] ====================================================== [ 87.706693] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [ 87.712861] 5.17.0-rc2+ torvalds#171 Tainted: G W [ 87.718161] ------------------------------------------------------ [ 87.724328] podman/2371 is trying to acquire lock: [ 87.729107] ffffa723507a2838 (css_set_lock){..-.}-{2:2}, at: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1c/0x30 [ 87.737636] [ 87.737636] but task is already holding lock: [ 87.743456] ffff577e760d88d8 (&sighand->siglock){....}-{2:2}, at: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1c/0x30 [ 87.752409] [ 87.752409] which lock already depends on the new lock.
