Subject: [PATCH 14/19] driver core: set PF_FSTRANS while holding gdp_mutex
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 14:03:36 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140416040336.10604.223.stgit@notabene.brown> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140416033623.10604.69237.stgit@notabene.brown>
lockdep reports a locking chain:
sk_lock-AF_INET --> rtnl_mutex --> gdp_mutex
As sk_lock can be needed for memory reclaim (when loop-back NFS is in
use at least), any memory allocation under gdp_mutex needs to
be protected by PF_FSTRANS.
The path frome rtnl_mutex to gdp_mutex is
[<ffffffff81841ecc>] get_device_parent+0x4c/0x1f0
[<ffffffff81842496>] device_add+0xe6/0x610
[<ffffffff81ac5f2a>] netdev_register_kobject+0x7a/0x130
[<ffffffff81aaf5d4>] register_netdevice+0x354/0x550
[<ffffffff81aaf7e5>] register_netdev+0x15/0x30
