[ Upstream commit 25016bd7f4 ]
Qian Cai reported a bug when PROVE_RCU_LIST=y, and read on /proc/lockdep
triggered a warning:
[ ] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirqs_enabled)
...
[ ] Call Trace:
[ ] lock_is_held_type+0x5d/0x150
[ ] ? rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online+0x64/0x80
[ ] rcu_read_lock_any_held+0xac/0x100
[ ] ? rcu_read_lock_held+0xc0/0xc0

[ ] __bfs+0x28a/0x3c0
[ ] ? class_equal+0x30/0x30
[ ] lockdep_count_forward_deps+0x11a/0x1a0
The warning got triggered because lockdep_count_forward_deps() call
__bfs() without current->lockdep_recursion being set, as a result
a lockdep internal function (__bfs()) is checked by lockdep, which is
unexpected, and the inconsistency between the irq-off state and the
state traced by lockdep caused the warning.
Apart from this warning, lockdep internal functions like __bfs() should
always be protected by current->lockdep_recursion to avoid potential
deadlocks and data inconsistency, therefore add the
current->lockdep_recursion on-and-off section to protect __bfs() in both
lockdep_count_forward_deps() and lockdep_count_backward_deps()

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.
