rcu: Fix set/clear TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask race
For kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, the following scenario can result in the scheduling-clock interrupt remaining enabled on a holdout CPU after its quiescent state has been reported: CPU1 CPU2 rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait acquires rnp->lock mask = rnp->expmask; for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask) rnp->expmask = rnp->expmask & ~mask; rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1); for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, mask) rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu1); if (!rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp) continue; rdp->rcu_forced_tick_exp = true; tick_dep_set_cpu(cpu1, TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP); The problem is that CPU2's sampling of rnp->expmask is obsolete by the time it invokes tick_dep_set_cpu(), and CPU1 is not guaranteed to see CPU2's store to ->rcu_forced_tick_exp in time to clear it. And even if CPU1 does see that store, it might invoke tick_dep_clear_cpu() before CPU2 got around to executing its tick_dep_set_cpu(), which would still leave the victim CPU with its scheduler-clock tick running. Either way, an nohz_full real-time application running on the victim CPU would have its latency needlessly degraded. Note that expedited RCU grace periods look at context-tracking information, and so if the CPU is executing in nohz_full usermode throughout, that CPU cannot be victimized in this manner. This commit therefore causes synchronize_rcu_expedited_wait to hold the rcu_node structure's ->lock when checking for holdout CPUs, setting TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP, and invoking tick_dep_set_cpu(), thus preventing this race.
