Hi Peter,

Lockdep reports a circular lock dependency between
atomic_read_lock and termios_rwsem [1]. However, a lock
order deadlock is not possible since CPU1 only holds a
read lock which cannot prevent CPU0 from also acquiring
a read lock on the same r/w semaphore.

Unfortunately, lockdep cannot currently distinguish whether
the locks are read or write for any particular lock graph,
merely that the locks _were_ previously read and/or write.

Until lockdep is fixed, re-order atomic_read_lock so
termios_rwsem can be dropped and reacquired without
triggering lockdep.

Works fine, thanks.

I hate to do this, but isn't it actually my patch posted here
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/1/510

which was tagged as `wrong'?

Sergey,

My apologies; I was mistaken regarding this problem being a lockdep
regression (although it's still a false positive from lockdep). Once
I had worked around some issues with the nouveau driver, I was able to
reproduce the lockdep report on 3.10.

I included Artem's lockdep report in the changelog because I received
that first, on 30 July.

My patch below is not the same as your patch of 1 Aug. This patch
preserves the protected access of termios.c_cc[VMIN] and termios.c_cc[VTIME]
(via the MIN_CHAR() and TIME_CHAR() macros).

If you'd prefer, I could add to changelog:

   Patch based on original posted here https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/1/510
