Subject[PATCH] fasync: Fix deadlock between task-context and interrupt-context kill_fasync()
From
Date
I observed the following deadlock between them:

[task 1] [task 2] [task 3]
kill_fasync() mm_update_next_owner() copy_process()
spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock) read_lock(&tasklist_lock) write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock)
send_sigio() <IRQ> ...
read_lock(&fown->lock) kill_fasync() ...
read_lock(&tasklist_lock) spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock) ...

Task 1 can't acquire read locked tasklist_lock, since there is
already task 3 expressed its wish to take the lock exclusive.
Task 2 holds the read locked lock, but it can't take the spin lock.

Also, there is possible another deadlock (which I haven't observed):

[task 1] [task 2]
f_getown() kill_fasync()
read_lock(&f_own->lock) spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock,)
<IRQ> send_sigio() write_lock_irq(&f_own->lock)
kill_fasync() read_lock(&fown->lock)
spin_lock_irqsave(&fa->fa_lock,)

Actually, we do not need exclusive fa->fa_lock in kill_fasync_rcu(),
as it guarantees fa->fa_file->f_owner integrity only. It may seem,
that it used to give a task a small possibility to receive two sequential
signals, if there are two parallel kill_fasync() callers, and task
handles the first signal fastly, but the behaviour won't become
different, since there is exclusive sighand lock in do_send_sig_info().

The patch converts fa_lock into rwlock_t, and this fixes two above
deadlocks, as rwlock is allowed to be taken from interrupt handler
by qrwlock design.

I used the following program for testing:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#ifndef F_SETSIG
#define F_SETSIG 10
#endif

void handler(int sig)
{
}

main()
{
unsigned int flags;
int fd;

system("echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/random/read_wakeup_threshold");
system("while :; do ls -R / > /dev/random 2>&1 ; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; done &");

if (signal(SIGINT, handler) < 0) {
perror("Signal");
exit(1);
}

fd = open("/dev/random", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0) {
perror("Can't open");
exit(1);
}

flags = FASYNC | fcntl(fd, F_GETFL);
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) < 0) {
perror("Setfl");
exit(1);
}
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, getpid())) {
perror("Setown");
exit(1);
}
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETSIG, SIGINT)) {
perror("Setsig");
exit(1);
}

while (1)
sleep(100);
}
