This patch removes the non-required spinlock acquire/release calls on 'queue_irqlock' from 'uvc_queue_next_buffer' routine. This routine is called from 'video->encode' function (which translates to either 'uvc_video_encode_bulk' or 'uvc_video_encode_isoc') in 'uvc_video.c'. As, the 'video->encode' routines are called with 'queue_irqlock' already held, so acquiring a 'queue_irqlock' again in 'uvc_queue_next_buffer' routine causes a spin lock recursion. A sample kernel crash log is given below (as observed on using 'g_webcam' with DWC designware 2.0 UDC): Kernel crash log: ----------------- BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, swapper/0/0 lock: 8f824f70, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: swapper/0/0, .owner_cpu: 0 Backtrace: [<80011b04>] (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x10c) from [<8040bc04>] (dump_stack+0x18/0x1c) r6:8f8240b4 r5:8f824f70 r4:805a1b80 r3:805b9d00 [<8040bbec>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [<8040e178>] (spin_dump+0x80/0x94) [<8040e0f8>] (spin_dump+0x0/0x94) from [<8040e1b8>] (spin_bug+0x2c/0x30) r5:804e88f4 r4:8f824f70 [<8040e18c>] (spin_bug+0x0/0x30) from [<8019e45c>] (do_raw_spin_lock+0x148/0x16c) r5:80586000 r4:8f824f70 [<8019e314>] (do_raw_spin_lock+0x0/0x16c) from [<80411e5c>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x18/0x20) r9:8f81515c r8:8fb30740 r7:8f824f70 r6:8f8240b4 r5:8f8240d0 r4:60000193 [<80411e44>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x0/0x20) from [<802d17e0>] (uvc_queue_next_buffer.part.11+0x2 4/0xa4) r4:8f824054 r3:00000000 [<802d17bc>] (uvc_queue_next_buffer.part.11+0x0/0xa4) from [<802d1968>] (uvc_video_encode_isoc+0x10 8/0x118) r7:00000110 r6:00070800 r5:8f8240d0 r4:8f824054 [<802d1860>] (uvc_video_encode_isoc+0x0/0x118) from [<802cffb8>] (uvc_video_complete+0x6c/0x134) r8:60000193 r7:8f815120 r6:8f824f70 r5:8f824054 r4:8fb30740 r3:802d1860 [<802cff4c>] (uvc_video_complete+0x0/0x134) from [<802cc18c>] (req_done+0xd0/0xf4) r8:90810400 r7:805dbcd0 r6:00000000 r5:8f815120 r4:8fb30740 r3:802cff4c [<802cc0bc>] (req_done+0x0/0xf4) from [<802cda84>] (udc_handle_epn_in_int+0xc0/0x1b8) r7:00000400 r6:8059efd4 r5:90810060 r4:8f815120 [<802cd9c4>] (udc_handle_epn_in_int+0x0/0x1b8) from [<802ce950>] (dw_udc_irq+0x10c/0x61c) [<802ce844>] (dw_udc_irq+0x0/0x61c) from [<8006951c>] (handle_irq_event_percpu+0x54/0x188) [<800694c8>] (handle_irq_event_percpu+0x0/0x188) from [<80069694>] (handle_irq_event+0x44/0x64) [<80069650>] (handle_irq_event+0x0/0x64) from [<8006c270>] (handle_fasteoi_irq+0xa0/0x148) r6:80586000 r5:8058c894 r4:8058c840 r3:00000000 [<8006c1d0>] (handle_fasteoi_irq+0x0/0x148) from [<80068d28>] (generic_handle_irq+0x34/0x48) r5:80584b6c r4:8059f8b8 [<80068cf4>] (generic_handle_irq+0x0/0x48) from [<8000efa8>] (handle_IRQ+0x54/0xb4) [<8000ef54>] (handle_IRQ+0x0/0xb4) from [<8000849c>] (gic_handle_irq+0x2c/0xb0) r8:8059eff8 r7:80587f38 r6:fec80100 r5:8059eff8 r4:00000000 r3:0000005e [<80008470>] (gic_handle_irq+0x0/0xb0) from [<8000dd80>] (__irq_svc+0x40/0x60) Exception stack(0x80587f38 to 0x80587f80) 7f20: ffffffed 00000000 7f40: 80587f80 00000000 80586000 805f1988 80413864 805a2bb8 80586000 411fc091 7f60: 00000000 80587f8c 80587f90 80587f80 8000f2a4 8000f2a8 60000013 ffffffff r8:80586000 r7:80587f6c r6:ffffffff r5:60000013 r4:8000f2a8 r3:8000f2a4 [<8000f27c>] (default_idle+0x0/0x30) from [<8000f52c>] (cpu_idle+0xd8/0xf4) [<8000f454>] (cpu_idle+0x0/0xf4) from [<803fd0e0>] (rest_init+0x64/0x7c) r8:0000406a r7:805a2bac r6:809778c0 r5:8057b144 r4:8059f690 r3:00000000 [<803fd07c>] (rest_init+0x0/0x7c) from [<805527ec>] (start_kernel+0x294/0x2e8) [<80552558>] (start_kernel+0x0/0x2e8) from [<00008044>] (0x8044) Signed-off-by: Bhupesh Sharma <bhupesh.sharma@xxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/gadget/uvc_queue.c | 3 +-- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/uvc_queue.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/uvc_queue.c index d776adb..7ef5efb 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/uvc_queue.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/uvc_queue.c @@ -543,6 +543,7 @@ done: return ret; } +/* called with &queue_irqlock held.. */ static struct uvc_buffer * uvc_queue_next_buffer(struct uvc_video_queue *queue, struct uvc_buffer *buf) { @@ -556,14 +557,12 @@ uvc_queue_next_buffer(struct uvc_video_queue *queue, struct uvc_buffer *buf) return buf; } - spin_lock_irqsave(&queue->irqlock, flags); list_del(&buf->queue); if (!list_empty(&queue->irqqueue)) nextbuf = list_first_entry(&queue->irqqueue, struct uvc_buffer, queue); else nextbuf = NULL; - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&queue->irqlock, flags); buf->buf.sequence = queue->sequence++; do_gettimeofday(&buf->buf.timestamp); -- 1.7.2.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
