device-dax: switch to srcu, fix rcu_read_lock() vs pte allocation
commit 956a4cd upstream. The following warning triggers with a new unit test that stresses the device-dax interface. =============================== [ ERR: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.11.0-rc4+ torvalds#1049 Tainted: G O ------------------------------- ./include/linux/rcupdate.h:521 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 0 2 locks held by fio/9070: #0: (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff8d0739d7>] __do_page_fault+0x167/0x4f0 #1: (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: [<ffffffffc03fbd02>] dax_dev_huge_fault+0x32/0x620 [dax] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xd7/0x110 ___might_sleep+0xac/0x250 __might_sleep+0x4a/0x80 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x23a/0x360 alloc_pages_current+0xa1/0x1f0 pte_alloc_one+0x17/0x80 __pte_alloc+0x1e/0x120 __get_locked_pte+0x1bf/0x1d0 insert_pfn.isra.70+0x3a/0x100 ? lookup_memtype+0xa6/0xd0 vm_insert_mixed+0x64/0x90 dax_dev_huge_fault+0x520/0x620 [dax] ? dax_dev_huge_fault+0x32/0x620 [dax] dax_dev_fault+0x10/0x20 [dax] __do_fault+0x1e/0x140 __handle_mm_fault+0x9af/0x10d0 handle_mm_fault+0x16d/0x370 ? handle_mm_fault+0x47/0x370 __do_page_fault+0x28c/0x4f0 trace_do_page_fault+0x58/0x2a0 do_async_page_fault+0x1a/0xa0 async_page_fault+0x28/0x30 Inserting a page table entry may trigger an allocation while we are holding a read lock to keep the device instance alive for the duration of the fault. Use srcu for this keep-alive protection.
