[PATCH] media: dvb-core: Fix potential deadlock on &dmxdevfilter->dev->lock

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

 



As &dmxdevfilter->dev->lock acquired by timer dvb_dmxdev_filter_timeout()
softirq context, other acquisition of the same lock under process context
should disable irq, otherwise deadlock could happen if the soft irq preempt
the execution while the lock is held in process context on the same CPU.

The dvb_dmxdev_section_callback() and dvb_dmxdev_ts_callback() callbacks
acquires the lock without disabling irq inside the function.

[Possible deadlock scenario]
dvb_dmxdev_section_callback()
    -> spin_lock(&dmxdevfilter->dev->lock);
        <timer interrupt>
        -> dvb_dmxdev_filter_timeout()
        -> spin_lock_irq(&dmxdevfilter->dev->lock);

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()
disable softirq.
