[ Upstream commit 5ee76c256e928455212ab759c51d198fedbe7523 ]

Mounting NFS rootfs was timing out when deferred_probe_timeout was
non-zero [1].  This was because ip_auto_config() initcall times out
waiting for the network interfaces to show up when
deferred_probe_timeout was non-zero. While ip_auto_config() calls
wait_for_device_probe() to make sure any currently running deferred
probe work or asynchronous probe finishes, that wasn't sufficient to
account for devices being deferred until deferred_probe_timeout.

Commit 35a672363ab3 ("driver core: Ensure wait_for_device_probe() waits
until the deferred_probe_timeout fires") tried to fix that by making
sure wait_for_device_probe() waits for deferred_probe_timeout to expire
before returning.

However, if wait_for_device_probe() is called from the kernel_init()
context:

- Before deferred_probe_initcall() [2], it causes the boot process to
  hang due to a deadlock.

- After deferred_probe_initcall() [3], it blocks kernel_init() from
  continuing till deferred_probe_timeout expires and beats the point of
  deferred_probe_timeout that's trying to wait for userspace to load
  modules.

Neither of this is good. So revert the changes to
wait_for_device_probe().

driver core: Fix wait_for_device_probe() & deferred_probe_timeout

[ Upstream commit 5ee76c256e928455212ab759c51d198fedbe7523 ]

Commit 9be4cbd09da820a2 ("driver core: Set default deferred_probe_timeout
back to 0.") in v5.19 contains a reference to the same commit as
mentioned in the Fixes tag.  Does backporting that help?

Anyway, remembering the days (weeks?) spent in investigating
subtle issues with fw_devlinks and deferred probe, collecting all the
fixes for backporting to stable may be a very hard job...

Sorry, I accidentally used the lore link for 5.17 while reporting this 
issue,
but this test does fail on all the stable releases from 5.10 onwards.

stable 5.15 :- 
https://linux.kernelci.org/test/case/id/64dd156a5ac58d0cf335b1ea/
mainline :- 
https://linux.kernelci.org/test/case/id/64dc13d55cb51357a135b209/

Shreeya, can you try the patch Geert suggested and let us know if it
helps? If not, then I can try to take a closer look.

I tried to test the kernel with 9be4cbd09da8 but it didn't change the 
result.
https://lava.collabora.dev/scheduler/job/11311615

Also, I am not sure if this can change things but just FYI, KernelCI 
adds some kernel parameters when running these tests and one of the 
parameter is deferred_probe_timeout=60.
You can check this in the definition details given in the Lava job. I 
also tried to remove this parameter and rerun the test but again I got 
the same result.

I will try to add 9be4cbd09da8 to mainline kernel and see what results I 
get.

Ah this is good to know.

How long does the test wait after boot before checking for the
deferred devices list?

Now I'm confused. What do you mean by mainline? Are you saying the tip
of tree of Linus's tree is also hitting this issue?

AFAIK, script for running the tests is immediately ran after the boot 
process is complete so there is no wait time.

KernelCI runs tests on different kernel branches and trees, we also have 
this same test running on mainline tree.
Following is the link to the dashboard for it and as you can see, it 
does fail there too.

Regardless of what the kernel is doing, it seems like a fundamentally 
dumb test to specifically ask deferred probe to wait for up to a minute 
then complain that it hasn't finished after 11 seconds :/

If anything, it seems plausible that the "regression" might actually be 
the correct behaviour, and it was wrong before. I can't manage to pull 
up a boot log for a pre-5.10 kernel since all the async stuff on the 
KernelCI dashboard always just times out for me with a helpful "Error 
while loading data from the server (error code: 0)", but what would be 
interesting is whether those devices on the list are expected to 
successfully probe anyway - the mainline log below also shows other 
stuff failing to probe and CPUs failing to come online, so it's clearly 
not a very happy platform to begin with.

IIRC that stuff is expecting the modules to be loaded from the initramfs
and checking from the main system which is a bit more sensible (at least
in the case where there is a main filesystem).  It's vulnerable to races
but less so, especially given the time a Debian rootfs typically takes
to boot over NFS.

Sorry about the dashboard issues you are facing, KernelCI team is 
working on a new dashboard which will fix all of these issues. But we 
need to wait for it be ready for some more time.


Your point makes sense and that is why we did a test to add some sleep 
time of 60-65 seconds before running the tests and it actually fixed the 
problem. There are no more deferred devices as you can see in the 
following job.
https://lava.collabora.dev/scheduler/job/11330931

This change, to add deferred_probe_timeout=60 as kernel parameter was 
recently added in KernelCI since there were number of devices failing to 
probe on different platforms, specifically for chromebooks.
Unfortunately, no one realized to change the start of the test time and 
hence these issues are seen now on different platforms.

Thanks for pointing it out, it will help us to eliminate quite many 
deferred probe test failures that we are seeing.

Saravana, thanks to you as well for asking the valid questions about 
when the test starts running.

Thanks,
Shreeya Patel


#regzbot resolve: Nothing is broken due to the patch, a fix is needed on
