might_sleep() output is pretty informative, but can be confusing at times especially with PREEMPT_RCU when the check triggers due to a voluntary sleep inside a RCU read side critical section: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/test.c:110 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 415, name: kworker/u112:52 Preemption disabled at: migrate_disable+0x33/0xa0 in_atomic() is 0, but it still tells that preemption was disabled at migrate_disable(), which is completely useless because preemption is not disabled. But the interesting information to decode the above, i.e. the RCU nesting depth, is not printed. That becomes even more confusing when might_sleep() is invoked from cond_resched_lock() within a RCU read side critical section. Here the expected preemption count is 1 and not 0. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/test.c:131 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 415, name: kworker/u112:52 Preemption disabled at: test_cond_lock+0xf3/0x1c0 So in_atomic() is set, which is expected as the caller holds a spinlock, but it's unclear why this is broken and the preempt disable IP is just pointing at the correct place, i.e. spin_lock(), which is obviously not helpful either. Make that more useful in general: - Print preempt_count() and the expected value and for the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU case: - Print the RCU read side critical section nesting depth - Print the preempt disable IP only when preempt count does not have the expected value. So the might_sleep() dump from a within a preemptible RCU read side critical section becomes: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/test.c:110 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 415, name: kworker/u112:52 preempt_count: 0, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0 and the cond_resched_lock() case becomes: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/test.c:141 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 415, name: kworker/u112:52 preempt_count: 1, expected: 1 RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0 which makes is pretty obvious what's going on. For all other cases the preempt disable IP is still printed as before: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/test.c: 156 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 1, name: swapper/0 preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 Preemption disabled at: [<ffffffff82b48326>] test_might_sleep+0xbe/0xf8 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/test.c: 163 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 1, name: swapper/0 preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0 Preemption disabled at: [<ffffffff82b48326>] test_might_sleep+0x1e4/0x280 This also prepares to provide a better debugging output for RT enabled kernels and their spinlock substitutions.

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.
