io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock before acquiring sqd->lock
The SQPOLL thread dictates the lock order, and we hold the ctx->uring_lock for all the registration opcodes. We also hold a ref to the ctx, and we do drop the lock for other reasons to quiesce, so it's fine to drop the ctx lock temporarily to grab the sqd->lock. This fixes the following lockdep splat: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.14.0-syzkaller #0 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ syz-executor.5/25433 is trying to acquire lock: ffff888023426870 (&sqd->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: io_register_iowq_max_workers fs/io_uring.c:10551 [inline] ffff888023426870 (&sqd->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: __io_uring_register fs/io_uring.c:10757 [inline] ffff888023426870 (&sqd->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: __do_sys_io_uring_register+0x10aa/0x2e70 fs/io_uring.c:10792 but task is already holding lock: ffff8880885b40a8 (&ctx->uring_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: __do_sys_io_uring_register+0x2e1/0x2e70 fs/io_uring.c:10791 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&ctx->uring_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}: __mutex_lock_common kernel/locking/mutex.c:596 [inline] __mutex_lock+0x131/0x12f0 kernel/locking/mutex.c:729 __io_sq_thread fs/io_uring.c:7291 [inline] io_sq_thread+0x65a/0x1370 fs/io_uring.c:7368 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:295 -> #0 (&sqd->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}: check_prev_add kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3051 [inline] check_prevs_add kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3174 [inline] validate_chain kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3789 [inline] __lock_acquire+0x2a07/0x54a0 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5015 lock_acquire kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5625 [inline] lock_acquire+0x1ab/0x510 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5590 __mutex_lock_common kernel/locking/mutex.c:596 [inline] __mutex_lock+0x131/0x12f0 kernel/locking/mutex.c:729 io_register_iowq_max_workers fs/io_uring.c:10551 [inline] __io_uring_register fs/io_uring.c:10757 [inline] __do_sys_io_uring_register+0x10aa/0x2e70 fs/io_uring.c:10792 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x35/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&ctx->uring_lock); lock(&sqd->lock); lock(&ctx->uring_lock); lock(&sqd->lock); *** DEADLOCK *** Fixes: 2e480058ddc2 ("io-wq: provide a way to limit max number of workers") Reported-by: syzbot+97fa56483f69d677969f@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
