However, a dependency chain is involved between those two operations, as depicted below: ====== CPU 0 ======= ====== CPU 1 ======= synchronize_rcu_expedited() exp_funnel_lock() mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex); start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rnp->exp_poll_wq); synchronize_rcu_expedited_queue_work() queue_work(rcu_gp_wq, &rew->rew_work); wait_event() // A, wait for &rew->rew_work completion mutex_unlock() // B //======> switch to kworker sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() { synchronize_rcu_expedited() exp_funnel_lock() mutex_lock(&rcu_state.exp_mutex); // C, wait B .... } // D Since workqueues are usually implemented on top of several kworkers handling the queue concurrently, the above situation wouldn't deadlock most of the time because A then doesn't depend on D. But in case of memory stress, a single kworker may end up handling alone all the works in a serialized way. In that case the above layout becomes a problem because A then waits for D, closing a circular dependency: A -> D -> C -> B -> A This however only happens when CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD=n. Indeed synchronize_rcu_expedited() is otherwise implemented on top of a kthread worker while polling still relies on rcu_gp_wq workqueue, breaking the above circular dependency chain. Fix this with making expedited grace period to always rely on kthread worker. The workqueue based implementation is essentially a duplicate anyway now that the per-node initialization is performed by per-node kthread workers. Meanwhile the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD switch is still kept around to manage the scheduler policy of these kthread workers.
