From 282b5c2f6f663c008444321fd8fcdd374596046b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 21:41:59 -0400 Subject: lockdep: Print a nicer description for simple irq lock inversions Lockdep output can be pretty cryptic, having nicer output can save a lot of head scratching. When a simple irq inversion scenario is detected by lockdep (lock A taken in interrupt context but also in thread context without disabling interrupts) we now get the following (hopefully more informative) output: other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(lockA); lock(lockA); *** DEADLOCK *** Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Andrew Morton Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110421014300.436140880@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/lockdep.c | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel/lockdep.c') diff --git a/kernel/lockdep.c b/kernel/lockdep.c index 270cfa405d39..27c609f3eae5 100644 --- a/kernel/lockdep.c +++ b/kernel/lockdep.c @@ -2158,6 +2158,24 @@ static void check_chain_key(struct task_struct *curr) #endif } +static void +print_usage_bug_scenario(struct held_lock *lock) +{ + struct lock_class *class = hlock_class(lock); + + printk(" Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n\n"); + printk(" CPU0\n"); + printk(" ----\n"); + printk(" lock("); + __print_lock_name(class); + printk(");\n"); + printk(" \n"); + printk(" lock("); + __print_lock_name(class); + printk(");\n"); + printk("\n *** DEADLOCK ***\n\n"); +} + static int print_usage_bug(struct task_struct *curr, struct held_lock *this, enum lock_usage_bit prev_bit, enum lock_usage_bit new_bit) @@ -2186,6 +2204,8 @@ print_usage_bug(struct task_struct *curr, struct held_lock *this, print_irqtrace_events(curr); printk("\nother info that might help us debug this:\n"); + print_usage_bug_scenario(this); + lockdep_print_held_locks(curr); printk("\nstack backtrace:\n"); -- cgit v1.2.3
