[PATCH v2 net-next] bonding: make slave status notifications GFP_ATOMIC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently we're using GFP_KERNEL, however there are some path(s) where we
can hold some spinlocks, specifically bond->curr_slave_lock:

[    4.722916] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:965
[    4.724438] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 940, name: ifup-eth
[    4.726034] 5 locks held by ifup-eth/940:
...snip...
[    4.734646]  #4:  (&bond->curr_slave_lock){+...+.}, at: [<ffffffffa00badc6>] bond_enslave+0xda6/0xdd0 [bonding]
...snip...
[    4.759081]  [<ffffffffa00b6f11>] bond_change_active_slave+0x191/0x3b0 [bonding]
[    4.760917]  [<ffffffffa00b7227>] bond_select_active_slave+0xf7/0x1d0 [bonding]
[    4.762751]  [<ffffffffa00badce>] bond_enslave+0xdae/0xdd0 [bonding]
...snip...

As it's out of hot path and is a really rare event - change the gfp_t flags
to GFP_ATOMIC to avoid sleeping under spinlock.

v2: convert new notify calls to GFP_ATOMIC.
