If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 30fc33f1ef475480dc5bea4fe1bda84b003b992c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Subhash Jadavani <subhashj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:25:47 -0700 Subject: scsi: ufs: fix race between clock gating and devfreq scaling work From: Subhash Jadavani <subhashj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 30fc33f1ef475480dc5bea4fe1bda84b003b992c upstream. UFS devfreq clock scaling work may require clocks to be ON if it need to execute some UFS commands hence it may request for clock hold before issuing the command. But if UFS clock gating work is already running in parallel, ungate work would end up waiting for the clock gating work to finish and as clock gating work would also wait for the clock scaling work to finish, we would enter in deadlock state. Here is the call trace during this deadlock state: Workqueue: devfreq_wq devfreq_monitor __switch_to __schedule schedule schedule_timeout wait_for_common wait_for_completion flush_work ufshcd_hold ufshcd_send_uic_cmd ufshcd_dme_get_attr ufs_qcom_set_dme_vs_core_clk_ctrl_clear_div ufs_qcom_clk_scale_notify ufshcd_scale_clks ufshcd_devfreq_target update_devfreq devfreq_monitor process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork Workqueue: events ufshcd_gate_work __switch_to __schedule schedule schedule_preempt_disabled __mutex_lock_slowpath mutex_lock devfreq_monitor_suspend devfreq_simple_ondemand_handler devfreq_suspend_device ufshcd_gate_work process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork Workqueue: events ufshcd_ungate_work __switch_to __schedule schedule schedule_timeout wait_for_common wait_for_completion flush_work __cancel_work_timer cancel_delayed_work_sync ufshcd_ungate_work process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork This change fixes this deadlock by doing this in devfreq work (devfreq_wq): Try cancelling clock gating work. If we are able to cancel gating work or it wasn't scheduled, hold the clock reference count until scaling is in progress. If gate work is already running in parallel, let's skip the frequecy scaling at this time and it will be retried once next scaling window expires.
