mm/memory_hotplug: make remove_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock
Patch series "mm: online/offline_pages called w.o. mem_hotplug_lock", v3. Reading through the code and studying how mem_hotplug_lock is to be used, I noticed that there are two places where we can end up calling device_online()/device_offline() - online_pages()/offline_pages() without the mem_hotplug_lock. And there are other places where we call device_online()/device_offline() without the device_hotplug_lock. While e.g. echo "online" > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/state is fine, e.g. echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/online Will not take the mem_hotplug_lock. However the device_lock() and device_hotplug_lock. E.g. via memory_probe_store(), we can end up calling add_memory()->online_pages() without the device_hotplug_lock. So we can have concurrent callers in online_pages(). We e.g. touch in online_pages() basically unprotected zone->present_pages then. Looks like there is a longer history to that (see Patch #2 for details), and fixing it to work the way it was intended is not really possible. We would e.g. have to take the mem_hotplug_lock in device/base/core.c, which sounds wrong. Summary: We had a lock inversion on mem_hotplug_lock and device_lock(). More details can be found in patch 3 and patch 6. I propose the general rules (documentation added in patch 6): 1. add_memory/add_memory_resource() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. 2. remove_memory() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. This is already documented and holds for all callers. 3. device_online()/device_offline() must only be called with device_hotplug_lock. This is already documented and true for now in core code. Other callers (related to memory hotplug) have to be fixed up. 4. mem_hotplug_lock is taken inside of add_memory/remove_memory/ online_pages/offline_pages. To me, this looks way cleaner than what we have right now (and easier to verify). And looking at the documentation of remove_memory, using lock_device_hotplug also for add_memory() feels natural. This patch (of 6): remove_memory() is exported right now but requires the device_hotplug_lock, which is not exported. So let's provide a variant that takes the lock and only export that one. The lock is already held in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c Apart from that, there are not other users in the tree.
