4.14-rc1 gained the fancy new cross-release support in lockdep, which seems to have uncovered a few more rules about what is allowed and isn't.
This one here seems to indicate that allocating a work-queue while holding mmap_sem is a no-go, so let's try to preallocate it. Of course another way to break this chain would be somewhere in the cpu hotplug code, since this isn't the only trace we're finding now which goes through msr_create_device.

Afaict this is not because of changes in 4.14-rc1, but really only due to the new cross-release checks. Note that the above trace is on top of -rc3 (plus plenty of drm/i915 stuff), so should have Peter's recent lockdep fixes for cpu up vs. down already. -Daniel --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_userptr.c | 65 +++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_userptr.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_userptr.c index 2d4996de7331..afe166921572 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_userptr.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_userptr.c @@ -160,36 +160,6 @@ static const struct mmu_notifier_ops i915_gem_userptr_notifier = { .invalidate_range_start = i915_gem_userptr_mn_invalidate_range_start, }; -static struct i915_mmu_notifier * -i915_mmu_notifier_create(struct mm_struct *mm) -{ - struct i915_mmu_notifier *mn; - int ret; - - mn = kmalloc(sizeof(*mn), GFP_KERNEL); - if (mn == NULL) - return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); - - spin_lock_init(&mn->lock); - mn->mn.ops = &i915_gem_userptr_notifier; - mn->objects = RB_ROOT_CACHED; - mn->wq = alloc_workqueue("i915-userptr-release", WQ_UNBOUND, 0); - if (mn->wq == NULL) { - kfree(mn); - return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); - } - - /* Protected by mmap_sem (write-lock) */ - ret = __mmu_notifier_register(&mn->mn, mm); - if (ret) { - destroy_workqueue(mn->wq); - kfree(mn); - return ERR_PTR(ret); - } - - return mn; -} - static void i915_gem_userptr_release__mmu_notifier(struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj) { @@ -210,23 +180,46 @@ i915_gem_userptr_release__mmu_notifier(struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj) static struct i915_mmu_notifier * i915_mmu_notifier_find(struct i915_mm_struct *mm) { - struct i915_mmu_notifier *mn = mm->mn; + struct i915_mmu_notifier *mn = mm->mn, *free_mn; + int ret; mn = mm->mn; if (mn) return mn; + free_mn = kmalloc(sizeof(*free_mn), GFP_KERNEL); + if (free_mn == NULL) + return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); + + spin_lock_init(&free_mn->lock); + free_mn->mn.ops = &i915_gem_userptr_notifier; + free_mn->objects = RB_ROOT_CACHED; + /* must allocate wq outside of mm->mmap_sem */ + free_mn->wq = alloc_workqueue("i915-userptr-release", WQ_UNBOUND, 0); + if (free_mn->wq == NULL) { + ret = -ENOMEM; + goto err_kfree; + } + down_write(&mm->mm->mmap_sem); mutex_lock(&mm->i915->mm_lock); - if ((mn = mm->mn) == NULL) { - mn = i915_mmu_notifier_create(mm->mm); - if (!IS_ERR(mn)) - mm->mn = mn; + if (mm->mn == NULL) { + /* Protected by mmap_sem (write-lock) */ + ret = __mmu_notifier_register(&free_mn->mn, mm->mm); + if (ret == 0) + mm->mn = mn =free_mn; + } else { + mn = mm->mn; } mutex_unlock(&mm->i915->mm_lock); up_write(&mm->mm->mmap_sem); - return mn; +err_wq: + destroy_workqueue(free_mn->wq); +err_kfree: + kfree(free_mn); + + return ret == 0 ? mn : ERR_PTR(ret); } static int -- 2.14.1
