Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc: Fix unlock order in s_stop()
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2020 13:08:43 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201213180843.16938-1-longman@redhat.com> (raw)
When multiple locks are acquired, they should be released in reverse
order. For s_start() and s_stop() in mm/vmalloc.c, that is not the
case.
s_start: mutex_lock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_lock(&vmap_area_lock);
s_stop : mutex_unlock(&vmap_purge_lock); spin_unlock(&vmap_area_lock);
This unlock sequence, though allowed, is not optimal. If a waiter is
present, mutex_unlock() will need to go through the slowpath of waking
up the waiter with preemption disabled. Fix that by releasing the
spinlock first before the mutex.
Fixes: e36176be1c39 ("mm/vmalloc: rework vmap_area_lock")
