kernfs: convert kernfs_idr_lock to an irq safe raw spinlock
commit c312828 upstream. bpf_cgroup_from_id() is basically a wrapper to cgroup_get_from_id(), that is relying on kernfs to determine the right cgroup associated to the target id. As a kfunc, it has the potential to be attached to any function through BPF, particularly in contexts where certain locks are held. However, kernfs is not using an irq safe spinlock for kernfs_idr_lock, that means any kernfs function that is acquiring this lock can be interrupted and potentially hit bpf_cgroup_from_id() in the process, triggering a deadlock. For example, it is really easy to trigger a lockdep splat between kernfs_idr_lock and rq->_lock, attaching a small BPF program to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked() that just calls bpf_cgroup_from_id(): ===================================================== WARNING: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected 6.7.0-rc7-virtme #5 Not tainted ----------------------------------------------------- repro/131 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire: ffffffffb2dc4578 (kernfs_idr_lock){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernfs_find_and_get_node_by_id+0x1d/0x80 and this task is already holding: ffff911cbecaf218 (&rq->__lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: task_rq_lock+0x50/0xc0 which would create a new lock dependency: (&rq->__lock){-.-.}-{2:2} -> (kernfs_idr_lock){+.+.}-{2:2} but this new dependency connects a HARDIRQ-irq-safe lock: (&rq->__lock){-.-.}-{2:2} ... which became HARDIRQ-irq-safe at: lock_acquire+0xbf/0x2b0 _raw_spin_lock_nested+0x2e/0x40 scheduler_tick+0x5d/0x170 update_process_times+0x9c/0xb0 tick_periodic+0x27/0xe0 tick_handle_periodic+0x24/0x70 __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x64/0x1a0 sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 memcpy+0xc/0x20 arch_dup_task_struct+0x15/0x30 copy_process+0x1ce/0x1eb0 kernel_clone+0xac/0x390 kernel_thread+0x6f/0xa0 kthreadd+0x199/0x230 ret_from_fork+0x31/0x50 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30 to a HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe lock: (kernfs_idr_lock){+.+.}-{2:2} ... which became HARDIRQ-irq-unsafe at: ... lock_acquire+0xbf/0x2b0 _raw_spin_lock+0x30/0x40 __kernfs_new_node.isra.0+0x83/0x280 kernfs_create_root+0xf6/0x1d0 sysfs_init+0x1b/0x70 mnt_init+0xd9/0x2a0 vfs_caches_init+0xcf/0xe0 start_kernel+0x58a/0x6a0 x86_64_start_reservations+0x18/0x30 x86_64_start_kernel+0xc5/0xe0 secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0x178/0x17b other info that might help us debug this: Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(kernfs_idr_lock); local_irq_disable(); lock(&rq->__lock); lock(kernfs_idr_lock); <Interrupt> lock(&rq->__lock); *** DEADLOCK *** Prevent this deadlock condition converting kernfs_idr_lock to a raw irq safe spinlock. The performance impact of this change should be negligible and it also helps to prevent similar deadlock conditions with any other subsystems that may depend on kernfs.
