From: Daisuke Nishimura Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 20:57:06 +0000 (-0800) Subject: memcg: avoid deadlock between move charge and try_charge() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1dd693e;p=linux-beck.git memcg: avoid deadlock between move charge and try_charge() __mem_cgroup_try_charge() can be called under down_write(&mmap_sem)(e.g. mlock does it). This means it can cause deadlock if it races with move charge: Ex.1) move charge | try charge --------------------------------------+------------------------------ mem_cgroup_can_attach() | down_write(&mmap_sem) mc.moving_task = current | .. mem_cgroup_precharge_mc() | __mem_cgroup_try_charge() mem_cgroup_count_precharge() | prepare_to_wait() down_read(&mmap_sem) | if (mc.moving_task) -> cannot aquire the lock | -> true | schedule() Ex.2) move charge | try charge --------------------------------------+------------------------------ mem_cgroup_can_attach() | mc.moving_task = current | mem_cgroup_precharge_mc() | mem_cgroup_count_precharge() | down_read(&mmap_sem) | .. | up_read(&mmap_sem) | | down_write(&mmap_sem) mem_cgroup_move_task() | .. mem_cgroup_move_charge() | __mem_cgroup_try_charge() down_read(&mmap_sem) | prepare_to_wait() -> cannot aquire the lock | if (mc.moving_task) | -> true | schedule() To avoid this deadlock, we do all the move charge works (both can_attach() and attach()) under one mmap_sem section. And after this patch, we set/clear mc.moving_task outside mc.lock, because we use the lock only to check mc.from/to.
