2025-08-20rcu: Fix racy re-initialization of irq_work causing hangsFrederic Weisbecker
commit 61399e0c5410567ef60cb1cda34cca42903842e3 upstream. RCU re-initializes the deferred QS irq work everytime before attempting to queue it. However there are situations where the irq work is attempted to be queued even though it is already queued. In that case re-initializing messes-up with the irq work queue that is about to be handled. The chances for that to happen are higher when the architecture doesn't support self-IPIs and irq work are then all lazy, such as with the following sequence: 1) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled and there is a grace period involving blocked tasks on the node. The irq work is then initialized and queued. 2) The related tasks are unblocked and the CPU quiescent state is reported. rdp->defer_qs_iw_pending is reset to DEFER_QS_IDLE, allowing the irq work to be requeued in the future (note the previous one hasn't fired yet). 3) A new grace period starts and the node has blocked tasks. 4) rcu_read_unlock() is called when IRQs are disabled again. The irq work is re-initialized (but it's queued! and its node is cleared) and requeued. Which means it's requeued to itself. 5) The irq work finally fires with the tick. But since it was requeued to itself, it loops and hangs. Fix this with initializing the irq work only once before the CPU boots.

2025-08-20rcu: Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to IRQ workJoel Fernandes
[ Upstream commit b41642c87716bbd09797b1e4ea7d904f06c39b7b ] During rcu_read_unlock_special(), if this happens during irq_exit(), we can lockup if an IPI is issued. This is because the IPI itself triggers the irq_exit() path causing a recursive lock up. This is precisely what Xiongfeng found when invoking a BPF program on the trace_tick_stop() tracepoint As shown in the trace below. Fix by managing the irq_work state correctly. irq_exit() __irq_exit_rcu() /* in_hardirq() returns false after this */ preempt_count_sub(HARDIRQ_OFFSET) tick_irq_exit() tick_nohz_irq_exit() tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() trace_tick_stop() /* a bpf prog is hooked on this trace point */ __bpf_trace_tick_stop() bpf_trace_run2() rcu_read_unlock_special() /* will send a IPI to itself */ irq_work_queue_on(&rdp->defer_qs_iw, rdp->cpu); A simple reproducer can also be obtained by doing the following in tick_irq_exit(). It will hang on boot without the patch: static inline void tick_irq_exit(void) { + rcu_read_lock(); + WRITE_ONCE(current->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.need_qs, true); + rcu_read_unlock(); + Reported-by: Xiongfeng Wang <wangxiongfeng2@huawei.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/9acd5f9f-6732-7701-6880-4b51190aa070@huawei.com/ Tested-by: Qi Xi <xiqi2@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: "Paul E.

[ Upstream commit 1bba3900ca18bdae28d1b9fa10f16a8f8cb2ada1 ] In the preparation stage of CPU online, if the corresponding the rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread does not exist, will be created, there is a situation where the rdp's rcuop kthreads creation fails, and then de-offload this CPU's rdp, does not assign this CPU's rdp->nocb_cb_kthread pointer, but this rdp's->nocb_gp_rdp and rdp's->rdp_gp->nocb_gp_kthread is still valid. This will cause the subsequent re-offload operation of this offline CPU, which will pass the conditional check and the kthread_unpark() will access invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer.

2025-08-20rcu: Protect ->defer_qs_iw_pending from data racePaul E. McKenney
[ Upstream commit 90c09d57caeca94e6f3f87c49e96a91edd40cbfd ] On kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y, when rcu_read_unlock() is invoked within an interrupts-disabled region of code [1], it will invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), which uses an irq-work handler to force the system to notice when the RCU read-side critical section actually ends. That end won't happen until interrupts are enabled at the soonest. In some kernels, such as those booted with rcutree.use_softirq=y, the irq-work handler is used unconditionally. The per-CPU rcu_data structure's ->defer_qs_iw_pending field is updated by the irq-work handler and is both read and updated by rcu_read_unlock_special(). This resulted in the following KCSAN splat: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler / rcu_read_unlock_special read to 0xffff96b95f42d8d8 of 1 bytes by task 90 on cpu 8: rcu_read_unlock_special+0x175/0x260 __rcu_read_unlock+0x92/0xa0 rt_spin_unlock+0x9b/0xc0 __local_bh_enable+0x10d/0x170 __local_bh_enable_ip+0xfb/0x150 rcu_do_batch+0x595/0xc40 rcu_cpu_kthread+0x4e9/0x830 smpboot_thread_fn+0x24d/0x3b0 kthread+0x3bd/0x410 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 write to 0xffff96b95f42d8d8 of 1 bytes by task 88 on cpu 8: rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler+0x1e/0x30 irq_work_single+0xaf/0x160 run_irq_workd+0x91/0xc0 smpboot_thread_fn+0x24d/0x3b0 kthread+0x3bd/0x410 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 no locks held by irq_work/8/88. irq event stamp: 200272 hardirqs last enabled at (200272): [<ffffffffb0f56121>] finish_task_switch+0x131/0x320 hardirqs last disabled at (200271): [<ffffffffb25c7859>] __schedule+0x129/0xd70 softirqs last enabled at (0): [<ffffffffb0ee093f>] copy_process+0x4df/0x1cc0 softirqs last disabled at (0): [<0000000000000000>] 0x0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The problem is that irq-work handlers run with interrupts enabled, which means that rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() could be interrupted, and that interrupt handler might contain an RCU read-side critical section, which might invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(). In the strict KCSAN mode of operation used by RCU, this constitutes a data race on the ->defer_qs_iw_pending field. This commit therefore disables interrupts across the portion of the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() that updates the ->defer_qs_iw_pending field. This suffices because this handler is not a fast path. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-08-15rcu: Fix delayed execution of hurry callbacksTze-nan Wu
[ Upstream commit 463d46044f04013306a4893242f65788b8a16b2e ] We observed a regression in our customer’s environment after enabling CONFIG_LAZY_RCU. In the Android Update Engine scenario, where ioctl() is used heavily, we found that callbacks queued via call_rcu_hurry (such as percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu) can sometimes be delayed by up to 5 seconds before execution. This occurs because the new grace period does not start immediately after the previous one completes. The root cause is that the wake_nocb_gp_defer() function now checks "rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" instead of "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup". On CPUs that are not rcuog, "rdp->nocb_defer_wakeup" may always be RCU_NOCB_WAKE_NOT. This can cause "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup" to be downgraded and the "rdp_gp->nocb_timer" to be postponed by up to 10 seconds, delaying the execution of hurry RCU callbacks. The trace log of one scenario we encountered is as follow: // previous GP ends at this point rcu_preempt [000] d..1. 137.240210: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8369 end rcu_preempt [000] ..... 137.240212: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8372 reqwait // call_rcu_hurry enqueues "percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu", the callback waited on by UpdateEngine update_engine [002] d..1. 137.301593: __call_rcu_common: wyy: unlikely p_ref = 00000000********. lazy = 0 // FirstQ on cpu 2 rdp_gp->nocb_timer is set to fire after 1 jiffy (4ms) // and the rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup is set to RCU_NOCB_WAKE update_engine [002] d..2. 137.301595: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 2 FirstQ on cpu2 with rdp_gp (cpu0). // FirstBQ event on cpu2 during the 1 jiffy, make the timer postpond 10 seconds later. // also, the rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup is overwrite to RCU_NOCB_WAKE_LAZY update_engine [002] d..1. 137.301601: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 2 WakeEmptyIsDeferred ... ... ... // before the 10 seconds timeout, cpu0 received another call_rcu_hurry // reset the timer to jiffies+1 and set the waketype = RCU_NOCB_WAKE. kworker/u32:0 [000] d..2. 142.557564: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 FirstQ kworker/u32:0 [000] d..1. 142.557576: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 WakeEmptyIsDeferred kworker/u32:0 [000] d..1. 142.558296: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 WakeNot kworker/u32:0 [000] d..1. 142.558562: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 WakeNot // idle(do_nocb_deferred_wakeup) wake rcuog due to waketype == RCU_NOCB_WAKE <idle> [000] d..1. 142.558786: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 DoWake <idle> [000] dN.1. 142.558839: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 DeferredWake rcuog/0 [000] ..... 142.558871: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 EndSleep rcuog/0 [000] ..... 142.558877: rcu_nocb_wake: rcu_preempt 0 Check // finally rcuog request a new GP at this point (5 seconds after the FirstQ event) rcuog/0 [000] d..2. 142.558886: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8372 newreq rcu_preempt [001] d..1. 142.559458: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8373 start ... rcu_preempt [000] d..1. 142.564258: rcu_grace_period: rcu_preempt 8373 end rcuop/2 [000] D..1. 142.566337: rcu_batch_start: rcu_preempt CBs=219 bl=10 // the hurry CB is invoked at this point rcuop/2 [000] b.... 142.566352: blk_queue_usage_counter_release: wyy: wakeup. p_ref = 00000000********. This patch changes the condition to check "rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup" in the lazy path.

[ Upstream commit 005b6187705bc9723518ce19c5cb911fc1f7ef07 ] The nreaders and loops variables are exposed as module parameters, which, in certain combinations, can lead to multiplication overflow. Besides, loops parameter is defined as long, while through the code is used as int, which can cause truncation on 64-bit kernels and possible zeroes where they shouldn't appear. Since code uses result of multiplication as int anyway, it only makes sense to replace loops with int. Multiplication overflow check is also added due to possible multiplication between two very big numbers. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

2025-03-04rcu: limit PREEMPT_RCU configurationsAnkur Arora
PREEMPT_LAZY can be enabled stand-alone or alongside PREEMPT_DYNAMIC which allows for dynamic switching of preemption models. The choice of PREEMPT_RCU or not, however, is fixed at compile time. Given that PREEMPT_RCU makes some trade-offs to optimize for latency as opposed to throughput, configurations with limited preemption might prefer the stronger forward-progress guarantees of PREEMPT_RCU=n. Accordingly, explicitly limit PREEMPT_RCU=y to the latency oriented preemption models: PREEMPT, PREEMPT_RT, and the runtime configurable model PREEMPT_DYNAMIC. This means the throughput oriented models, PREEMPT_NONE, PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, and PREEMPT_LAZY will run with PREEMPT_RCU=n. Cc: Paul E.

2025-03-04rcutorture: Update ->extendables check for lazy preemptionBoqun Feng
The rcutorture_one_extend_check() function's second last check assumes that "preempt_count() & PREEMPT_MASK" is non-zero only if RCUTORTURE_RDR_PREEMPT or RCUTORTURE_RDR_SCHED bit is set. This works for preemptible RCU and for non-preemptible RCU running in a non-preemptible kernel. But it fails for non-preemptible RCU running in a preemptible kernel because then rcu_read_lock() is just preempt_disable(), which increases preempt count.

2025-03-04rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu()Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Switch for using of get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() pair to debug a normal synchronize_rcu() call. Just using "not" full APIs to identify if a grace period is passed or not might lead to a false-positive kernel splat. It can happen, because get_state_synchronize_rcu() compresses both normal and expedited states into one single unsigned long value, so a poll_state_synchronize_rcu() can miss GP-completion when synchronize_rcu()/synchronize_rcu_expedited() concurrently run. To address this, switch to poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() APIs, which use separate variables for expedited and normal states.

2025-03-04rcu/nocb: Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state()Paul E. McKenney
Analysis of an rcutorture callback-based forward-progress test failure was hampered by the lack of ->cblist segment lengths. This commit therefore adds this information, so that what would have been ".W85620.N." (there are some callbacks waiting for grace period sequence number 85620 and some number more that have not yet been assigned to a grace period) now prints as ".W2(85620).N6." (there are 2 callbacks waiting for grace period 85620 and 6 not yet assigned to a grace period). Note that "D" (done), "N" (next and not yet assigned to a grace period, and "B" (bypass, also not yet assigned to a grace period) have just the number of callbacks without the parenthesized grace-period sequence number. In contrast, "W" (waiting for the current grace period) and "R" (ready to wait for the next grace period to start) both have parenthesized grace-period sequence numbers. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-03-04rcu-tasks: Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall()Paul E. McKenney
The timer and hrtimer softirq processing has moved to dedicated threads for kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y. This results in timers not expiring until later in early boot, which in turn causes the RCU Tasks self-tests to hang in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, which further causes the entire kernel to hang. One fix would be to make timers work during this time, but there are no known users of RCU Tasks grace periods during that time, so no justification for the added complexity. Not yet, anyway. This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_init_tasks_generic() from kernel_init_freeable() to a core_initcall(). This works because the timer and hrtimer kthreads are created at early_initcall() time. Fixes: 49a17639508c3 ("softirq: Use a dedicated thread for timer wakeups on PREEMPT_RT.")

2025-03-04rcu: Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detectionPaul E. McKenney
The get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions use the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field to detect the beginnings and ends of grace periods, respectively. This choice is necessary for the poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function because (give or take counter wrap), the following sequence is guaranteed not to trigger: get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(&rgos); synchronize_rcu(); WARN_ON_ONCE(!poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full(&rgos)); The RCU callbacks that awaken synchronize_rcu() instances are guaranteed not to be invoked before the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field is updated to indicate the end of the grace period. However, these callbacks might start being invoked immediately thereafter, in particular, before rcu_state.gp_seq has been updated. Therefore, poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() must refer to the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field. Because this field is updated under this structure's ->lock, any code following a call to poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() will be fully ordered after the full grace-period computation, as is required by RCU's memory-ordering semantics. By symmetry, the get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function should also use this same root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field. But it turns out that symmetry is profoundly (though extremely infrequently) destructive in this case. To see this, consider the following sequence of events: 1. CPU 0 starts a new grace period, and updates rcu_state.gp_seq accordingly. 2. As its first step of grace-period initialization, CPU 0 examines the current CPU hotplug state and decides that it need not wait for CPU 1, which is currently offline. 3. CPU 1 comes online, and updates its state. But this does not affect the current grace period, but rather the one after that. After all, CPU 1 was offline when the current grace period started, so all pre-existing RCU readers on CPU 1 must have completed or been preempted before it last went offline. The current grace period therefore has nothing it needs to wait for on CPU 1. 4. CPU 1 switches to an rcutorture kthread which is running rcutorture's rcu_torture_reader() function, which starts a new RCU reader. 5. CPU 2 is running rcutorture's rcu_torture_writer() function and collects a new polled grace-period "cookie" using get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). Because the newly started grace period has not completed initialization, the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field has not yet been updated to indicate that this new grace period has already started. This cookie is therefore set up for the end of the current grace period (rather than the end of the following grace period). 6. CPU 0 finishes grace-period initialization. 7. If CPU 1’s rcutorture reader is preempted, it will be added to the ->blkd_tasks list, but because CPU 1’s ->qsmask bit is not set in CPU 1's leaf rcu_node structure, the ->gp_tasks pointer will not be updated.  Thus, this grace period will not wait on it.  Which is only fair, given that the CPU did not come online until after the grace period officially started. 8. CPUs 0 and 2 then detect the new grace period and then report a quiescent state to the RCU core. 9. Because CPU 1 was offline at the start of the current grace period, CPUs 0 and 2 are the only CPUs that this grace period needs to wait on. So the grace period ends and post-grace-period cleanup starts. In particular, the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field is updated to indicate that this grace period has now ended. 10. CPU 2 continues running rcu_torture_writer() and sees that, from the viewpoint of the root rcu_node structure consulted by the poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function, the grace period has ended.  It therefore updates state accordingly. 11. CPU 1 is still running the same RCU reader, which notices this update and thus complains about the too-short grace period. The fix is for the get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function to use rcu_state.gp_seq instead of the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field. With this change in place, if step 5's cookie indicates that the grace period has not yet started, then any prior code executed by CPU 2 must have happened before CPU 1 came online. This will in turn prevent CPU 1's code in steps 3 and 11 from spanning CPU 2's grace-period wait, thus preventing CPU 1 from being subjected to a too-short grace period. This commit therefore makes this change. Note that there is no change to the poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function, which as noted above, must continue to use the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field. This is of course an asymmetry between these two functions, but is an asymmetry that is absolutely required for correct operation. It is a common human tendency to greatly value symmetry, and sometimes symmetry is a wonderful thing. Other times, symmetry results in poor performance. But in this case, symmetry is just plain wrong. Nevertheless, the asymmetry does require an additional adjustment. It is possible for get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() to see a given grace period as having started, but for an immediately following poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() to see it as having not yet started. Given the current rcu_seq_done_exact() implementation, this will result in a false-positive indication that the grace period is done from poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). This is dealt with by making rcu_seq_done_exact() reach back three grace periods rather than just two of them. However, simply changing get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() function to use rcu_state.gp_seq instead of the root rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq field results in a theoretical bug in kernels booted with rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1 due to the following sequence of events: o The rcu_gp_init() function invokes rcu_seq_start() to officially start a new grace period. o A new RCU reader begins, referencing X from some RCU-protected list. The new grace period is not obligated to wait for this reader. o An updater removes X, then calls synchronize_rcu(), which queues a wait element. o The grace period ends, awakening the updater, which frees X while the reader is still referencing it. The reason that this is theoretical is that although the grace period has officially started, none of the CPUs are officially aware of this, and thus will have to assume that the RCU reader pre-dated the start of the grace period. Detailed explanation can be found at [2] and [3]. Except for kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, which use the polled grace-period APIs, which can and do complain bitterly when this sequence of events occurs. Not only that, there might be some future RCU grace-period mechanism that pulls this sequence of events from theory into practice. This commit therefore also pulls the call to rcu_sr_normal_gp_init() to precede that to rcu_seq_start(). Although this fixes commit 91a967fd6934 ("rcu: Add full-sized polling for get_completed*() and poll_state*()"), it is not clear that it is worth backporting this commit. First, it took me many weeks to convince rcutorture to reproduce this more frequently than once per year. Second, this cannot be reproduced at all without frequent CPU-hotplug operations, as in waiting all of 50 milliseconds from the end of the previous operation until starting the next one. Third, the TREE03.boot settings cause multi-millisecond delays during RCU grace-period initialization, which greatly increase the probability of the above sequence of events. (Don't do this in production workloads!) Fourth, the TREE03 rcutorture scenario was modified to use four-CPU guest OSes, to have a single-rcu_node combining tree, no testing of RCU priority boosting, and no random preemption, and these modifications were necessary to reproduce this issue in a reasonable timeframe. Fifth, extremely heavy use of get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() and/or poll_state_synchronize_rcu_full() is required to reproduce this, and as of v6.12, only kfree_rcu() uses it, and even then not particularly heavily.

These longer wrap times makes it easier to correlate these numbers to trace-event output.

2025-02-05srcu: Force synchronization for srcu_get_delay()Paul E. McKenney
Currently, srcu_get_delay() can be called concurrently, for example, by a CPU that is the first to request a new grace period and the CPU processing the current grace period. Although concurrent access is harmless, it unnecessarily expands the state space. Additionally, all calls to srcu_get_delay() are from slow paths. This commit therefore protects all calls to srcu_get_delay() with ssp->srcu_sup->lock, which is already held on the invocation from the srcu_funnel_gp_start() function. While in the area, this commit also adds a lockdep_assert_held() to srcu_get_delay() itself. Reported-by: syzbot+16a19b06125a2963eaee@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-02-05rcu: handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=yAnkur Arora
With PREEMPT_RCU=n, cond_resched() provides urgently needed quiescent states for read-side critical sections via rcu_all_qs(). One reason why this was needed: lacking preempt-count, the tick handler has no way of knowing whether it is executing in a read-side critical section or not. With (PREEMPT_LAZY=y, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n), we get (PREEMPT_COUNT=y, PREEMPT_RCU=n). In this configuration cond_resched() is a stub and does not provide quiescent states via rcu_all_qs(). (PREEMPT_RCU=y provides this information via rcu_read_unlock() and its nesting counter.) So, use the availability of preempt_count() to report quiescent states in rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().

2025-02-05rcu, slab: use a regular callback function for kvfree_rcuVlastimil Babka
RCU has been special-casing callback function pointers that are integers lower than 4096 as offsets of rcu_head for kvfree() instead. The tree RCU implementation no longer does that as the batched kvfree_rcu() is not a simple call_rcu(). The tiny RCU still does, and the plan is also to make tree RCU use call_rcu() for SLUB_TINY configurations. Instead of teaching tree RCU again to special case the offsets, let's remove the special casing completely. Since there's no SLOB anymore, it is possible to create a callback function that can take a pointer to a middle of slab object with unknown offset and determine the object's pointer before freeing it, so implement that as kvfree_rcu_cb(). Large kmalloc and vmalloc allocations are handled simply by aligning down to page size. For that we retain the requirement that the offset is smaller than 4096. But we can remove __is_kvfree_rcu_offset() completely and instead just opencode the condition in the BUILD_BUG_ON() check.

2025-02-04rcu: Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes()Zilin Guan
There is one access to the per-CPU rdp->gpwrap field in the __note_gp_changes() function that does not use READ_ONCE(), but all other accesses do use READ_ONCE(). When using the 8*TREE03 and CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8 configuration, KCSAN found no data races at that point. This is because all calls to __note_gp_changes() hold rnp->lock, which excludes writes to the rdp->gpwrap fields for all CPUs associated with that same leaf rcu_node structure.
