From 7e49fcce1bdadd723ae6a0b3b324c4daced61563 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:01:40 -0500 Subject: trace, lockdep: manual preempt count adding for local_bh_disable Impact: fix to preempt trace triggering lockdep check_flag failure In local_bh_disable, the use of add_preempt_count causes the preempt tracer to start recording the time preemption is off. But because it already modified the preempt_count to show softirqs disabled, and before it called the lockdep code to handle this, it causes a state that lockdep can not handle. The preempt tracer will reset the ring buffer on start of a trace, and the ring buffer reset code does a spin_lock_irqsave. This calls into lockdep and lockdep will fail when it detects the invalid state of having softirqs disabled but the internal current->softirqs_enabled is still set. The fix is to manually add the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET to preempt count and call the preempt tracer code outside the lockdep critical area. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this solution.
