Reverting this patchset [1] from today's linux-next fixed a splat below. The splat looks like a false positive anyway because the existing locking dependency chains from the task #1 here: >seqcount#2 ---> pidmap_lock [ 528.078061][ T7867] -> #1 (pidmap_lock){}-{2:2}: [ 528.078078][ T7867]lock_acquire+0x10c/0x560 [ 528.078089][ T7867]_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x64/0xb0 [ 528.078108][ T7867]free_pid+0x5c/0x160 free_pid at kernel/pid.c:131 [ 528.078127][ T7867]release_task.part.40+0x59c/0x7f0 __unhash_process at kernel/exit.c:76 (inlined by) __exit_signal at kernel/exit.c:147 (inlined by) release_task at kernel/exit.c:198 [ 528.078145][ T7867]do_exit+0x77c/0xda0 exit_notify at kernel/exit.c:679 (inlined by) do_exit at kernel/exit.c:826 [ 528.078163][ T7867]kthread+0x148/0x1d0 [ 528.078182][ T7867]ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x80 It is write_seqlock(>stats_lock) in __exit_signal(), but the >seqcount#2 in read_mems_allowed_begin() is read_seqcount_begin(>mems_allowed_seq), so there should be no deadlock?

[PATCH v2 0/5] seqlock: Introduce PREEMPT_RT support
Hi, Changelog-v2 - Standardize on seqcount_LOCKNAME_t as the canonical reference for sequence counters with associated locks, instead of v1 seqcount_LOCKTYPE_t. - Use unique prefix "seqprop_*" for all seqcount_t/seqcount_LOCKNAME_t property accessors. - Touch-up the lock-unlock rationale for more clarity. Enforce writer non-preemitiblity using "__seq_enforce_writer_non_preemptibility()". Cover letter (v1) = https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200828010710.5407-1-a.darw...@linutronix.de Preemption must be disabled before entering a sequence counter write side critical section. Otherwise the read side section can preempt the write side section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If that reader belongs to a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will livelock. Disabling preemption cannot be done for PREEMPT_RT though: it can lead to higher latencies, and the write side sections will not be able to acquire locks which become sleeping locks (e.g. spinlock_t). To remain preemptible, while avoiding a possible livelock caused by the reader preempting the writer, use a different technique: let the reader detect if a seqcount_LOCKNAME_t writer is in progress. If that's the case, acquire then release the associated LOCKNAME writer serialization lock. This will allow any possibly-preempted writer to make progress until the end of its writer serialization lock critical section. Implement this lock-unlock technique for all seqcount_LOCKNAME_t with an associated (PREEMPT_RT) sleeping lock, and for seqlock_t. 8<-- Ahmed S.
