[PATCH 1/2] drm/etnaviv: fix deadlock in GPU coredump

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

 



The GPU coredump function violates the locking order by holding the MMU
context lock while trying to acquire the etnaviv_gem_object lock. This
results in a possible ABBA deadlock with other codepaths which follow
the established locking order.
Fortunately this is easy to fix by dropping the MMU context lock
earlier, as the BO dumping doesn't need the MMU context to be stable.
The only thing the BO dumping cares about are the BO mappings, which
are stable across the lifetime of the job.

Fixes: 27b67278e007 (drm/etnaviv: rework MMU handling)
[ Not really the first bad commit, but the one where this fix applies
  cleanly. Stable kernels need a manual backport. ]
