The counters obj_pool_free, and obj_nr_tofree, and the flag obj_freeing are read locklessly outside the pool_lock critical sections. If read with plain accesses, this would result in data races. This is addressed as follows: * reads outside critical sections become READ_ONCE()s (pairing with WRITE_ONCE()s added); * writes become WRITE_ONCE()s (pairing with READ_ONCE()s added); since writes happen inside critical sections, only the write and not the read of RMWs needs to be atomic, thus WRITE_ONCE(var, var +/- X) is sufficient. The data races were reported by KCSAN: BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __free_object / fill_pool write to 0xffffffff8beb04f8 of 4 bytes by interrupt on cpu 1: __free_object+0x1ee/0x8e0 lib/debugobjects.c:404 __debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x199/0x330 lib/debugobjects.c:969 debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x3c/0x44 lib/debugobjects.c:994 slab_free_hook mm/slub.c:1422 [inline] read to 0xffffffff8beb04f8 of 4 bytes by task 1 on cpu 2: fill_pool+0x3d/0x520 lib/debugobjects.c:135 __debug_object_init+0x3c/0x810 lib/debugobjects.c:536 debug_object_init lib/debugobjects.c:591 [inline] debug_object_activate+0x228/0x320 lib/debugobjects.c:677 debug_rcu_head_queue kernel/rcu/rcu.h:176 [inline] BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __debug_object_init / fill_pool read to 0xffffffff8beb04f8 of 4 bytes by task 10 on cpu 6: fill_pool+0x3d/0x520 lib/debugobjects.c:135 __debug_object_init+0x3c/0x810 lib/debugobjects.c:536 debug_object_init_on_stack+0x39/0x50 lib/debugobjects.c:606 init_timer_on_stack_key kernel/time/timer.c:742 [inline] write to 0xffffffff8beb04f8 of 4 bytes by task 1 on cpu 3: alloc_object lib/debugobjects.c:258 [inline] __debug_object_init+0x717/0x810 lib/debugobjects.c:544 debug_object_init lib/debugobjects.c:591 [inline] debug_object_activate+0x228/0x320 lib/debugobjects.c:677 debug_rcu_head_queue kernel/rcu/rcu.h:176 [inline] BUG: KCSAN: data-race in free_obj_work / free_object read to 0xffffffff9140c190 of 4 bytes by task 10 on cpu 6: free_object+0x4b/0xd0 lib/debugobjects.c:426 debug_object_free+0x190/0x210 lib/debugobjects.c:824 destroy_timer_on_stack kernel/time/timer.c:749 [inline] write to 0xffffffff9140c190 of 4 bytes by task 93 on cpu 1: free_obj_work+0x24f/0x480 lib/debugobjects.c:313 process_one_work+0x454/0x8d0 kernel/workqueue.c:2264 worker_thread+0x9a/0x780 kernel/workqueue.c:2410 Reported-by: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> Signed-off-by: Marco Elver <elver@google.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200116185529.11026-1-elver@google.com |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
