Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/rapl: fix deadlock in rapl_pmu_event_stop
Date:   Sat, 17 Sep 2022 22:47:29 +0800
Message-Id: <20220917144729.118500-1-duoming@zju.edu.cn>
Precedence: bulk

There is a deadlock in rapl_pmu_event_stop(), the process is
shown below:

    (thread 1)                 |        (thread 2)
rapl_pmu_event_stop()          | rapl_hrtimer_handle()
 ...                           |  if (!pmu->n_active)
 raw_spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) |  ...
  ...                          |
  hrtimer_cancel()             |  raw_spin_lock_irqsave() //(2)
  (block forever)

We hold pmu->lock in position (1) and use hrtimer_cancel() to wait
rapl_hrtimer_handle() to stop, but rapl_hrtimer_handle() also need
pmu->lock in position (2). As a result, the rapl_pmu_event_stop()
will be blocked forever.

This patch extracts hrtimer_cancel() from the protection of
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(). As a result, the rapl_hrtimer_handle() could
obtain the pmu->lock. In order to prevent race conditions, we put
"if (!pmu->n_active)" in rapl_hrtimer_handle() under the protection
of raw_spin_lock_irqsave().
