https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83341 Bug ID: 83341 Summary: Failure to check return value leads to missed -EDEADLK and a kernel warning printout Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.16 and above Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1114160 The error is in the following lines, where no error checking takes place on drm_modeset_lock(). drm_modeset_lock_all(dev); drm_modeset_lock_init(&crtc->mutex); /* dropped by _unlock_all(): */ drm_modeset_lock(&crtc->mutex, config->acquire_ctx); This is probably under the assumption that the lock is just initialized and will therefore always succeed. However, the ww_mutex subsystem has a fault injection option and when that kicks in, that lock may fail. Fixing this turns out to be a little involved. Personally I think a trylock() would be in order here, but that would mean extending the drm_modeset_lock() API.
