Hello Manivannan Sadhasivam,

The patch 189ff97cca53: "bus: mhi: core: Add support for data
transfer" from Feb 20, 2020, leads to the following static checker
warning:

parse_xfer_event is taking read lock :
read_lock_bh(&mhi_chan->lock); first
and later

mhi_queue_buf takes read lock: read_lock_irqsave(&mhi_chan->lock,
flags);

Both are read locks which are recursive, is this problematic ?

read_locks are recursive but I wanted to make the static checker
happy. But
looking into it further (and after having a chat with Arnd), we might
need to
refactor the locking here.

Since 'chan->lock' only prevents 'mhi_chan->ch_state', how about
doing something
like below?

As comment mentioned for OOB (to enter  DB mode) write lock is acquired

with preemption disabled (irqsave ver). In case of OOB event control
does not go to mhi_queue_buf

path.

Again, why do we need irq version of write lock. It should only be used if the data is shared with hardirq handlers which I don't see. Otherwise, write_lock_bh() looks sufficient to me as this itself is an exclusive lock.
irq ver disables preemption where as bh ver does not. In case of OOB event, idea is not get preempted and this is for short duration of ringing the channel doorbell.

For transfer completion events >read_lock_bh is acquired and
channel state is checked.

This lock is held for entire handling of the transfer completion so
that
in case

__mhi_unprepare_channel() is called from power down context write lock
is acquired

for channel lock to change channel state, which would wait until
parse_xfer_event for

data transfer is done (reader is in critical section).  In case if
__mhi_unprepare_channel() wins then

parse_xfer_event is skipped otherwise parse_xfer_event is done and then

channel state is changed.


So if we get unprepare_channel() after checking the channel state in parse_xfer_event(), what could go wrong?
Also, grabbing the lock for the entire function doesn't look good to me. The purpose of the chan->lock is just to protect 'chan_state'/DB and not the whole function.

main problem unprepare_channel and parse_xfer_event have lot in common due to that we can not let them run in parallel. For example -parse_xfer_event is working on transfer ring (rp and wp updates)
-parse_xfer_event calling dma_unmap_single on buffer
-__mhi_unprepare_channel() calling mhi_reset_chan() and mhi_deinit_chan_ctxt().
Thanks,
Mani

Moreover, I do have couple of concerns:

1. 'mhi_chan->db_cfg.db_mode = 1' needs to be added to the critical
section
above.

2. Why we have {write/read}_lock_irq variants for chan->lock? I don't
see where
the db or ch_state got shared with hardirq handler. Maybe we should
only have
*_bh (softirq) variants all over the place?

Thanks,
Mani

                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The caller is already holding this lock.

Hmm. We have one internal user of this function and that's where
the locking
has gone wrong. Will fix it.

Thanks for reporting!

Mani
