SubjectRE: [PATCH v3] mm: Make vmalloc_dump_obj() call in clean context
Date

Gently ping 😊

Thanks
Zqiang

>Currently, the mem_dump_obj() is invoked in call_rcu(), the
>call_rcu() is maybe invoked in non-preemptive code segment,
>for object allocated from vmalloc(), the following scenarios
>may occur:
>
> CPU 0
>tasks context
> spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock)
> Interrupt context
> call_rcu()
> mem_dump_obj
> vmalloc_dump_obj
> spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock) <--deadlock
>
>and for PREEMPT-RT kernel, the spinlock will convert to sleepable
>lock, so the vmap_area_lock spinlock not allowed to get in non-preemptive
>code segment. therefore, this commit make the vmalloc_dump_obj() call in
>a clean context.
