-Subject: slab: fix the DEADLOCK issue on l3 alien lock
-
-From: Michael Wang <wangyun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
-
-commit 947ca1856a7e60aa6d20536785e6a42dff25aa6e upstream.
-
-DEADLOCK will be report while running a kernel with NUMA and LOCKDEP enabled,
-the process of this fake report is:
-
-          kmem_cache_free()    //free obj in cachep
-       -> cache_free_alien()   //acquire cachep's l3 alien lock
-       -> __drain_alien_cache()
-       -> free_block()
-       -> slab_destroy()
-       -> kmem_cache_free()    //free slab in cachep->slabp_cache
-       -> cache_free_alien()   //acquire cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien lock
-
-Since the cachep and cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien are in the same lock class,
-fake report generated.
-
-This should not happen since we already have init_lock_keys() which will
-reassign the lock class for both l3 list and l3 alien.
-
-However, init_lock_keys() was invoked at a wrong position which is before we
-invoke enable_cpucache() on each cache.
-
-Since until set slab_state to be FULL, we won't invoke enable_cpucache()
-on caches to build their l3 alien while creating them, so although we invoked
-init_lock_keys(), the l3 alien lock class won't change since we don't have
-them until invoked enable_cpucache() later.
-
-This patch will invoke init_lock_keys() after we done enable_cpucache()
-instead of before to avoid the fake DEADLOCK report.
-
-Michael traced the problem back to a commit in release 3.0.0:

-    slab, lockdep: Annotate the locks before using them
-
-    Fernando found we hit the regular OFF_SLAB 'recursion' before we
-    annotate the locks, cure this.
