[PATCH v2] dmaengine: pch_dma: Fix potential deadlock on &pd_chan->lock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As &pd_chan->lock is acquired by pdc_tasklet() under softirq context,
other acquisition of the same lock under process context should at least
disable bottom half, otherwise deadlock could happen if the tasklet
preempts the execution while the lock is held under process context on
the same CPU.

pd_issue_pending(), pd_tx_submit(), pdc_desc_put() and pdc_desc_get()
seem like that could execute under process context without bottom half
disaled.

One Possible deadlock scenario:
pd_prep_slave_sg()
    -> pdc_desc_put()
    -> spin_lock(&pd_chan->lock)
        <tasklet softirq interruption>
        -> pdc_tasklet()
        -> spin_lock_irqsave(&pd_chan->lock, flags); (deadlock here)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing
for irq-related deadlock.

The tentative patch fixes the potential deadlock by spin_lock_bh() to
disable bottom half while lock is held.
