pwm: Fix deadlock warning when removing PWM device
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836666 [ Upstream commit 347ab948 ] This patch fixes deadlock warning if removing PWM device when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled. This issue can be reproceduced by the following steps on the R-Car H3 Salvator-X board if the backlight is disabled: # cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0 # echo 0 > export # ls device export npwm power pwm0 subsystem uevent unexport # cd device/driver # ls bind e6e31000.pwm uevent unbind # echo e6e31000.pwm > unbind [ 87.659974] ====================================================== [ 87.666149] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [ 87.672327] 5.0.0 #7 Not tainted [ 87.675549] ------------------------------------------------------ [ 87.681723] bash/2986 is trying to acquire lock: [ 87.686337] 000000005ea0e178 (kn->count#58){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x50/0xa0 [ 87.694528] [ 87.694528] but task is already holding lock: [ 87.700353] 000000006313b17c (pwm_lock){+.+.}, at: pwmchip_remove+0x28/0x13c [ 87.707405] [ 87.707405] which lock already depends on the new lock.

We should just move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() where it belongs, which is right after pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). In that case, we do not need separate functions anymore either. We also really want to remove sysfs irrespective of whether or not the chip will be removed as a result of pwmchip_remove(). We can only assume that the driver will be gone after that, so we shouldn't leave any dangling sysfs files around. This warning disappears if we move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() to the top of pwmchip_remove(), pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). That way it is also outside of the pwm_lock section, which indeed doesn't seem to be needed. Moving the pwmchip_sysfs_export() call outside of that section also seems fine and it'd be perfectly symmetric with pwmchip_remove() again. So, this patch fixes them.
