PM / Domains: Avoid a potential deadlock
[ Upstream commit 2071ac98 ] Lockdep warns that prepare_lock and genpd->mlock can cause a deadlock the deadlock scenario is like following: First thread is probing cs2000 cs2000_probe() clk_register() __clk_core_init() clk_prepare_lock() ----> acquires prepare_lock cs2000_recalc_rate() i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() rcar_i2c_master_xfer() dma_request_chan() rcar_dmac_of_xlate() rcar_dmac_alloc_chan_resources() pm_runtime_get_sync() __pm_runtime_resume() rpm_resume() rpm_callback() genpd_runtime_resume() ----> acquires genpd->mlock Second thread is attaching any device to the same PM domain genpd_add_device() genpd_lock() ----> acquires genpd->mlock cpg_mssr_attach_dev() of_clk_get_from_provider() __of_clk_get_from_provider() __clk_create_clk() clk_prepare_lock() ----> acquires prepare_lock Since currently no PM provider access genpd's critical section in .attach_dev, and .detach_dev callbacks, so there is no need to protect these two callbacks with genpd->mlock. This patch avoids a potential deadlock by moving out .attach_dev and .detach_dev from genpd->mlock, so that genpd->mlock won't be held when prepare_lock is acquired in .attach_dev and .detach_dev Signed-off-by: Jiada Wang <jiada_wang@mentor.com> Reviewed-by: Ulf Hansson <ulf.hansson@linaro.org> Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Reviewed-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
