[PATCH] lockdep: call time_hardirqs_off after clearing hardirqs_enabled

Show all headers | View raw

The current order of calls within trace_hardirqs_off_caller() would provoke
an "unannotated irqs-off" WARNING.

This warning was reported by check_flags() when it found that the hardirqs has
been disabled but the irq-flags state, "hardirqs_enabled", has not been cleared.

Check_flags() is called via trace_hardirqs_off(), and trace_hardirqs_off() will
be called by functions kind of local_irq_disable() if CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS has
been enabled.

The calltrace from functions kind of local_irq_diasble() to check_flags()
simplied as below:

local_irq_disable()
 |- trace_hardirqs_off()
     |- trace_hardirqs_off_caller()
         |- time_hardirqs_off()
             |- trace_preemptirqsoff_hist_rcuidle()
                |- __DO_TRACE()
                   |- rcu_dereference_sched()
                      |- rcu_read_lock_sched_held()
                          |- lock_is_held()
                              |- check_flags()

The order of calls within trace_hardirqs_off_caller() simplified as below:

local_irq_disable()
 |- raw_local_irq_disable()
 |- trace_hardirqs_off()
     |- trace_hardirqs_off_caller()
         |- time_hardirqs_off()     -->    check_flags()
         |- hardirqs_enabled = 0

We could find that the call to check_flags() has been made between disabling
hardirqs and clearing hardirqs_enabled. That will definitely cause an
"unannotated irqs-off" warning.

To fix this "unannotated irqs-off" warning, we must call time_hardirqs_off()
after that we clear hardirqs_enabled.
