Linux死锁检测-Lockdep

关键词：LockDep、spinlock、mutex。

lockdep是内核提供协助发现死锁问题的功能。

本文首先介绍何为lockdep，然后如何在内核使能lockdep，并简单分析内核lockdep相关代码。

最后构造不同死锁用例，并分析如何根据lockdep输出发现问题根源。

1. Lockdep介绍

死锁是指两个或多个进程因争夺资源而造成的互相等待的现象。

常见的死锁有如下两种：

递归死锁：中断等延迟操作中使用了锁，和外面的锁构成了递归死锁。

AB-BA死锁：多个锁因处理不当而引发死锁，多个内核路径上的所处理顺序不一致也会导致死锁。

Linux内核提供死锁调试模块Lockdep，跟踪每个锁的自身状态和各个锁之间的依赖关系，经过一系列的验证规则来确保锁之间依赖关系是正确的。

2. 内核死锁检测Lockdep

2.1 使能Lockdep

Lockdep检测的锁包括spinlock、rwlock、mutex、rwsem的死锁，锁的错误释放，原子操作中睡眠等错误行为。

在内核中配置路径为：Kernel hacking->Lock Debugging (spinlocks, mutexes, etc...)。

下面是lockcep内核选项及其解释：

CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES=y

检测rt mutex的死锁，并自动报告死锁现场信息。

CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y

检测spinlock的未初始化使用等问题。配合NMI watchdog使用，能发现spinlock死锁。

CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y

检测并报告mutex错误

CONFIG_DEBUG_WW_MUTEX_SLOWPATH=y

检测wait/wound类型mutex的slowpath测试。

CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y

检测使用中的锁(spinlock/rwlock/mutex/rwsem)被释放，或者使用中的锁被重新初始化，或者在进程退出时持有锁。

CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y

使内核能在死锁发生前报告死锁详细信息。参见/proc/lockdep_chains。

CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y

整个Lockdep的总开关。参见/proc/lockdep、/proc/lockdep_stats。

CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y

记锁持有竞争区域的信息，包括等待时间、持有时间等等信息。参见/proc/lock_stat。

CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y

会对Lockdep的使用过程中进行更多的自我检测，会增加很多额外开销。

CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y

在atomic section中睡眠可能造成很多不可预测的问题，这些atomic section包括spinlock持锁、rcu读操作、禁止内核抢占部分、中断处理中等等。

2.2 Lock相关内核节点

/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat------------------------置位则可以查看/proc/lock_stat统计信息，清楚则关闭lockdep统计信息。

/proc/sys/kernel/max_lock_depth--------------

/proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking

/proc/locks

/proc/lock_stat-------------------------------------关于锁的使用统计信息

/proc/lockdep---------------------------------------存在依赖关系的锁

/proc/lockdep_stats------------------------------存在依赖关系锁的统计信息

/proc/lockdep_chains----------------------------依赖关系锁链表

内核还提供了了Tracepoint协助发现锁的使用问题：/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/lock。

2.3 lockdep代码简单分析

3. Lockdep测试

3.1 测试spin_lock死锁

构造测试用例代码如下：

void hack_spinAB(void)
{
  printk("hack_lockdep:A->B\n");
  spin_lock(&hack_spinA);
  spin_lock(&hack_spinB);
}

void hack_spinBA(void)
{
  printk("hack_lockdep:B->A\n");
  spin_lock(&hack_spinB);
}

static int __init lockdep_test_init(void)
{
  printk("al: lockdep error test init\n");
  hack_spinAB();
  hack_spinBA();
  return 0;
}

执行insmod data/lock.ko 后，控制台显示如下。

首先从死锁描述大概可以知道死锁类型。

然后详细介绍了产生死锁的点，这时就可以大概知道是哪个锁，有哪些地方调用导致了死锁。

接着是详细的发生死锁的backtrace，有助于分析死锁产生时的栈回溯。

al: lockdep error test init
hack_lockdep:A->B
hack_lockdep:B->A

3.2 mutex测试

执行insmod /data/mutexlock.ko，稍后结果如下。

首先是死锁类型介绍。

然后是产生死锁的两个点的调用者，再详细给出了两个点的栈回溯。

最后是死锁点的详细栈回溯。
