Add and use snd_pcm_stream_lock_nested() in snd_pcm_link/unlink implementation. The code is fine, but generates a lockdep complaint: ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 5.7.1mq+ #381 Tainted: G O -------------------------------------------- pulseaudio/4180 is trying to acquire lock: ffff888402d6f508 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xda8/0xee0 [snd_pcm] but task is already holding lock: ffff8883f7a8cf18 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xe4e/0xee0 [snd_pcm] other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&group->lock); lock(&group->lock); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 2 locks held by pulseaudio/4180: #0: ffffffffa1a05190 (snd_pcm_link_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xca0/0xee0 [snd_pcm] #1: ffff8883f7a8cf18 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xe4e/0xee0 [snd_pcm] [...] Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: f57f3df03a8e ("ALSA: pcm: More fine-grained PCM link locking") Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- sound/core/pcm_native.c | 14 ++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/sound/core/pcm_native.c b/sound/core/pcm_native.c index 3ad399cb6f30..5b36881f7095 100644 --- a/sound/core/pcm_native.c +++ b/sound/core/pcm_native.c @@ -138,6 +138,16 @@ void snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq); +static void snd_pcm_stream_lock_nested(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) +{ + struct snd_pcm_group *group = &substream->self_group; + + if (substream->pcm->nonatomic) + mutex_lock_nested(&group->mutex, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING); + else + spin_lock_nested(&group->lock, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING); +} + /** * snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irq - Unlock the PCM stream * @substream: PCM substream @@ -2200,7 +2210,7 @@ static int snd_pcm_link(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, int fd) snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irq(substream); snd_pcm_group_lock_irq(target_group, nonatomic); - snd_pcm_stream_lock(substream1); + snd_pcm_stream_lock_nested(substream1); snd_pcm_group_assign(substream1, target_group); refcount_inc(&target_group->refs); snd_pcm_stream_unlock(substream1); @@ -2216,7 +2226,7 @@ static int snd_pcm_link(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, int fd) static void relink_to_local(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream) { - snd_pcm_stream_lock(substream); + snd_pcm_stream_lock_nested(substream); snd_pcm_group_assign(substream, &substream->self_group); snd_pcm_stream_unlock(substream); } -- 2.20.1
