leds: trigger: netdev: fix RTNL handling to prevent potential deadlock
When working on LED support for r8169 I got the following lockdep warning. Easiest way to prevent this scenario seems to be to take the RTNL lock before the trigger_data lock in set_device_name(). ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.7.0-rc2-next-20231124+ #2 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ bash/383 is trying to acquire lock: ffff888103aa1c68 (&trigger_data->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: netdev_trig_notify+0xec/0x190 [ledtrig_netdev] but task is already holding lock: ffffffff8cddf808 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}: __mutex_lock+0x9b/0xb50 mutex_lock_nested+0x16/0x20 rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 set_device_name+0xa9/0x120 [ledtrig_netdev] netdev_trig_activate+0x1a1/0x230 [ledtrig_netdev] led_trigger_set+0x172/0x2c0 led_trigger_write+0xf1/0x140 sysfs_kf_bin_write+0x5d/0x80 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x15d/0x210 vfs_write+0x1f0/0x510 ksys_write+0x6c/0xf0 __x64_sys_write+0x14/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0xf0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6c/0x74 -> #0 (&trigger_data->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}: __lock_acquire+0x1459/0x25a0 lock_acquire+0xc8/0x2d0 __mutex_lock+0x9b/0xb50 mutex_lock_nested+0x16/0x20 netdev_trig_notify+0xec/0x190 [ledtrig_netdev] call_netdevice_register_net_notifiers+0x5a/0x100 register_netdevice_notifier+0x85/0x120 netdev_trig_activate+0x1d4/0x230 [ledtrig_netdev] led_trigger_set+0x172/0x2c0 led_trigger_write+0xf1/0x140 sysfs_kf_bin_write+0x5d/0x80 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x15d/0x210 vfs_write+0x1f0/0x510 ksys_write+0x6c/0xf0 __x64_sys_write+0x14/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0xf0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6c/0x74 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(rtnl_mutex); lock(&trigger_data->lock); lock(rtnl_mutex); lock(&trigger_data->lock); *** DEADLOCK *** 8 locks held by bash/383: #0: ffff888103ff33f0 (sb_writers#3){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: ksys_write+0x6c/0xf0 #1: ffff888103aa1e88 (&of->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x114/0x210 #2: ffff8881036f1890 (kn->active#82){.+.+}-{0:0}, at: kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x11d/0x210 #3: ffff888108e2c358 (&led_cdev->led_access){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: led_trigger_write+0x30/0x140 #4: ffffffff8cdd9e10 (triggers_list_lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: led_trigger_write+0x75/0x140 #5: ffff888108e2c270 (&led_cdev->trigger_lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: led_trigger_write+0xe3/0x140 #6: ffffffff8cdde3d0 (pernet_ops_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: register_netdevice_notifier+0x1c/0x120 #7: ffffffff8cddf808 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 383 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.7.0-rc2-next-20231124+ #2 Hardware name: Default string Default string/Default string, BIOS ADLN.M6.SODIMM.ZB.CY.015 08/08/2023 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x5c/0xd0 dump_stack+0x10/0x20 print_circular_bug+0x2dd/0x410 check_noncircular+0x131/0x150 __lock_acquire+0x1459/0x25a0 lock_acquire+0xc8/0x2d0 ? netdev_trig_notify+0xec/0x190 [ledtrig_netdev] __mutex_lock+0x9b/0xb50 ? netdev_trig_notify+0xec/0x190 [ledtrig_netdev] ? __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20 ? netdev_trig_notify+0xec/0x190 [ledtrig_netdev] ? __cancel_work_timer+0x11c/0x1b0 ? __mutex_lock+0x123/0xb50 mutex_lock_nested+0x16/0x20 ? mutex_lock_nested+0x16/0x20 netdev_trig_notify+0xec/0x190 [ledtrig_netdev] call_netdevice_register_net_notifiers+0x5a/0x100 register_netdevice_notifier+0x85/0x120 netdev_trig_activate+0x1d4/0x230 [ledtrig_netdev] led_trigger_set+0x172/0x2c0 ? preempt_count_add+0x49/0xc0 led_trigger_write+0xf1/0x140 sysfs_kf_bin_write+0x5d/0x80 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x15d/0x210 vfs_write+0x1f0/0x510 ksys_write+0x6c/0xf0 __x64_sys_write+0x14/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0xf0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6c/0x74 RIP: 0033:0x7f269055d034 Code: c7 00 16 00 00 00 b8 ff ff ff ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 f3 0f 1e fa 80 3d 35 c3 0d 00 00 74 13 b8 01 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 54 c3 0f 1f 00 48 83 ec 28 48 89 54 24 18 48 RSP: 002b:00007ffddb7ef748 EFLAGS: 00000202 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000007 RCX: 00007f269055d034 RDX: 0000000000000007 RSI: 000055bf5f4af3c0 RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: 000055bf5f4af3c0 R08: 0000000000000073 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000202 R12: 0000000000000007 R13: 00007f26906325c0 R14: 00007f269062ff20 R15: 0000000000000000 </TASK> Fixes: d5e01266 ("leds: trigger: netdev: add additional specific link speed mode") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Acked-by: Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/fb5c8294-2a10-4bf5-8f10-3d2b77d2757e@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
