The IOMMU table is divided into pools for concurrent mappings and each pool has a separate spinlock. When taking the ownership of an IOMMU group to pass through a device to a VM, we lock these spinlocks which triggers a false negative warning in lockdep (below). This fixes it by annotating the large pool's spinlock as a nest lock which makes lockdep not complaining when locking nested locks if the nest lock is locked already. === WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 5.11.0-le_syzkaller_a+fstn1 #100 Not tainted -------------------------------------------- qemu-system-ppc/4129 is trying to acquire lock: c0000000119bddb0 (&(p->lock)/1){....}-{2:2}, at: iommu_take_ownership+0xac/0x1e0 but task is already holding lock: c0000000119bdd30 (&(p->lock)/1){....}-{2:2}, at: iommu_take_ownership+0xac/0x1e0 other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&(p->lock)/1); lock(&(p->lock)/1); === Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210301063653.51003-1-aik@ozlabs.ru
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
