From ee40d543e97d23d3392d8fb1ec9972eb4e9c7611 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2023 08:29:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/pagewalk: fix bootstopping regression from extra pte_unmap() Mikhail reports early-6.6-based Fedora Rawhide not booting: "rcu_preempt detected expedited stalls", minutes wait, and then hung_task splat while kworker trying to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). Nothing logged to disk. He bisected to my 6.6 a349d72fd9ef ("mm/pgtable: add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s"): but the one to blame is my 6.5 commit to fix the espfix "bad pmd" warnings when booting x86_64 with CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y. Gaah, that added an "addr >= TASK_SIZE" check to avoid pte_offset_map(), but failed to add the equivalent check when choosing to pte_unmap(). It's not a problem on 6.5 (for different reasons, it's harmless on both 64-bit and 32-bit), but becomes a bootstopper on 6.6 with the unbalanced rcu_read_unlock() - RCU has a WARN_ON_ONCE for that, but it would have scrolled off Mikhail's console too quickly.
