--------------------------------

Jan Kara reported the following bug triggering on 6.0.5-rt14 running dbench on XFS on arm64.

kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:625! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT_RT SMP CPU: 11 PID: 6611 Comm: dbench Tainted: G E 6.0.0-rt14-rt+ #1 pc : clear_inode+0xa0/0xc0 lr : clear_inode+0x38/0xc0 Call trace: clear_inode+0xa0/0xc0 evict+0x160/0x180 iput+0x154/0x240 do_unlinkat+0x184/0x300 __arm64_sys_unlinkat+0x48/0xc0 el0_svc_common.constprop.4+0xe4/0x2c0 do_el0_svc+0xac/0x100 el0_svc+0x78/0x200 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x9c/0xc0 el0t_64_sync+0x19c/0x1a0

It also affects 6.1-rc7-rt5 and affects a preempt-rt fork of 5.14 so this is likely a bug that existed forever and only became visible when ARM support was added to preempt-rt. The same problem does not occur on x86-64 and he also reported that converting sb->s_inode_wblist_lock to raw_spinlock_t makes the problem disappear indicating that the RT spinlock variant is the problem.

Which in turn means that RT mutexes on ARM64 and any other weakly ordered architecture are affected by this independent of RT.

Will Deacon observed:

"I'd be more inclined to be suspicious of the slowpath tbh, as we need to make sure that we have acquire semantics on all paths where the lock can be taken. Looking at the rtmutex code, this really isn't obvious to me -- for example, try_to_take_rt_mutex() appears to be able to return via the 'takeit' label without acquire semantics and it looks like we might be relying on the caller's subsequent _unlock_ of the wait_lock for ordering, but that will give us release semantics which aren't correct."

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior prototyped a fix that does work based on that comment but it was a little bit overkill and added some fences that should not be necessary.

The lock owner is updated with an IRQ-safe raw spinlock held, but the spin_unlock does not provide acquire semantics which are needed when acquiring a mutex.

Adds the necessary acquire semantics for lock owner updates in the slow path acquisition and the waiter bit logic.

It successfully completed 10 iterations of the dbench workload while the vanilla kernel fails on the first iteration.
