怎么构造linux内核死锁,Linux内核死锁检测

D状态检测

其核心思想为创建一个内核监测进程循环监测处于D状态的每一个进程(任务)。

内核配置：CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK

Kernel hacking --->

[*] Detect Hung Tasks

(120) Default timeout for hung task detection (in seconds) (NEW)

[ ] Panic (Reboot) On Hung Tasks (NEW)

进程进入D状态时间超过120秒后打印

INFO: task sync:16015 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

sync D c0512378 0 16015 1807 0x00000000

[] (iterate_supers+0xa4/0xec) from [] (sys_sync+0x34/0x9c)

[] (sys_sync+0x34/0x9c) from [] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x30)

关闭打印：echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs

也可手动检测，top或者ps查看进程状态，然后使用命令cat /proc/pid/status查看状态：State:    D (disk sleep)，查看堆栈信息：cat /proc/pid/stack

R状态检测

Kernel hacking --->

-*- Kernel debugging

[*] Detect Hard and Soft Lockups

[ ] Panic (Reboot) On Soft Lockups

CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y

暂没有复现出R状态的卡住状态情况。

扩展

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
