      TTY: n_hdlc, fix lockdep false positive · 59c4d783
      Jiri Slaby authored
      commit e9b736d8 upstream.
      
      The class of 4 n_hdls buf locks is the same because a single function
      n_hdlc_buf_list_init is used to init all the locks. But since
      flush_tx_queue takes n_hdlc->tx_buf_list.spinlock and then calls
      n_hdlc_buf_put which takes n_hdlc->tx_free_buf_list.spinlock, lockdep
      emits a warning:
      =============================================
      [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
      4.3.0-25.g91e30a7-default #1 Not tainted
      ---------------------------------------------
      a.out/1248 is trying to acquire lock:
       (&(&list->spinlock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa01fd020>] n_hdlc_buf_put+0x20/0x60 [n_hdlc]
      
      but task is already holding lock:
       (&(&list->spinlock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa01fdc07>] n_hdlc_tty_ioctl+0x127/0x1d0 [n_hdlc]
      
      other info that might help us debug this:
       Possible unsafe locking scenario:
      
             CPU0
             ----
        lock(&(&list->spinlock)->rlock);
        lock(&(&list->spinlock)->rlock);
      
       *** DEADLOCK ***
      
       May be due to missing lock nesting notation
      
      2 locks held by a.out/1248:
       #0:  (&tty->ldisc_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff814c9eb0>] tty_ldisc_ref_wait+0x20/0x50
       #1:  (&(&list->spinlock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa01fdc07>] n_hdlc_tty_ioctl+0x127/0x1d0 [n_hdlc]
      ...
      Call Trace:
      ...
       [<ffffffff81738fd0>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x50/0x70
       [<ffffffffa01fd020>] n_hdlc_buf_put+0x20/0x60 [n_hdlc]
       [<ffffffffa01fdc24>] n_hdlc_tty_ioctl+0x144/0x1d0 [n_hdlc]
       [<ffffffff814c25c1>] tty_ioctl+0x3f1/0xe40
      ...
      
      Fix it by initializing the spin_locks separately. This removes also
      reduntand memset of a freshly kzallocated space.
