net/sched: fix false lockdep warning on qdisc root lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Xiumei and Christoph reported the following lockdep splat, complaining of
the qdisc root lock being taken twice:

 ============================================
 WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
 6.7.0-rc3+ torvalds#598 Not tainted
 --------------------------------------------
 swapper/2/0 is trying to acquire lock:
 ffff888177190110 (&sch->q.lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: __dev_queue_xmit+0x1560/0x2e70

 but task is already holding lock:
 ffff88811995a110 (&sch->q.lock){+.-.}-{2:2}, at: __dev_queue_xmit+0x1560/0x2e70

 other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(&sch->q.lock);
   lock(&sch->q.lock);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

 5 locks held by swapper/2/0:

This happens when TC does a mirred egress redirect from the root qdisc of
device A to the root qdisc of device B. As long as these two locks aren't
protecting the same qdisc, they can be acquired in chain: add a per-qdisc
lockdep key to silence false warnings.
This dynamic key should safely replace the static key we have in sch_htb:
it was added to allow enqueueing to the device "direct qdisc" while still
holding the qdisc root lock.

v2: don't use static keys anymore in HTB direct qdiscs (thanks Eric Dumazet)
