vfio_dev_present() which is the condition to wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), will call vfio_group_get_device and try to acquire the mutex group->device_lock. wait_event_interruptible_timeout() will set the state of the current task to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, before doing the condition check. This means that we will try to acquire the mutex while already in a sleeping state. The scheduler warns us by giving the following warning: [ 4050.264464] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 4050.264508] do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<00000000b33c00e2>] prepare_to_wait_event+0x14a/0x188 [ 4050.264529] WARNING: CPU: 12 PID: 35924 at kernel/sched/core.c:6112 __might_sleep+0x76/0x90 .... 4050.264756] Call Trace: [ 4050.264765] ([<000000000017bbaa>] __might_sleep+0x72/0x90) [ 4050.264774] [<0000000000b97edc>] __mutex_lock+0x44/0x8c0 [ 4050.264782] [<0000000000b9878a>] mutex_lock_nested+0x32/0x40 [ 4050.264793] [<000003ff800d7abe>] vfio_group_get_device+0x36/0xa8 [vfio] [ 4050.264803] [<000003ff800d87c0>] vfio_del_group_dev+0x238/0x378 [vfio] [ 4050.264813] [<000003ff8015f67c>] mdev_remove+0x3c/0x68 [mdev] [ 4050.264825] [<00000000008e01b0>] device_release_driver_internal+0x168/0x268 [ 4050.264834] [<00000000008de692>] bus_remove_device+0x162/0x190 [ 4050.264843] [<00000000008daf42>] device_del+0x1e2/0x368 [ 4050.264851] [<00000000008db12c>] device_unregister+0x64/0x88 [ 4050.264862] [<000003ff8015ed84>] mdev_device_remove+0xec/0x130 [mdev] [ 4050.264872] [<000003ff8015f074>] remove_store+0x6c/0xa8 [mdev] [ 4050.264881] [<000000000046f494>] kernfs_fop_write+0x14c/0x1f8 [ 4050.264890] [<00000000003c1530>] __vfs_write+0x38/0x1a8 [ 4050.264899] [<00000000003c187c>] vfs_write+0xb4/0x198 [ 4050.264908] [<00000000003c1af2>] ksys_write+0x5a/0xb0 [ 4050.264916] [<0000000000b9e270>] system_call+0xdc/0x2d8 [ 4050.264925] 4 locks held by sh/35924: [ 4050.264933] #0: 000000001ef90325 (sb_writers#4){.+.+}, at: vfs_write+0x9e/0x198 [ 4050.264948] #1: 000000005c1ab0b3 (&of->mutex){+.+.}, at: kernfs_fop_write+0x1cc/0x1f8 [ 4050.264963] #2: 0000000034831ab8 (kn->count#297){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_self+0x12e/0x150 [ 4050.264979] #3: 00000000e152484f (&dev->mutex){....}, at: device_release_driver_internal+0x5c/0x268 [ 4050.264993] Last Breaking-Event-Address: [ 4050.265002] [<000000000017bbaa>] __might_sleep+0x72/0x90 [ 4050.265010] irq event stamp: 7039 [ 4050.265020] hardirqs last enabled at (7047): [<00000000001cee7a>] console_unlock+0x6d2/0x740 [ 4050.265029] hardirqs last disabled at (7054): [<00000000001ce87e>] console_unlock+0xd6/0x740 [ 4050.265040] softirqs last enabled at (6416): [<0000000000b8fe26>] __udelay+0xb6/0x100 [ 4050.265049] softirqs last disabled at (6415): [<0000000000b8fe06>] __udelay+0x96/0x100 [ 4050.265057] ---[ end trace d04a07d39d99a9f9 ]--- Let's fix this as described in the article https://lwn.net/Articles/628628/.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
