This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on SPI buses to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: spi-fix-deadlock-when-adding-spi-controllers-on-spi-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 36499e87d8cb05a41ceb4232682150e1f41ad622 Author: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Oct 8 14:31:57 2021 +0100 spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on SPI buses [ Upstream commit 6098475d4cb48d821bdf453c61118c56e26294f0 ] Currently we have a global spi_add_lock which we take when adding new devices so that we can check that we're not trying to reuse a chip select that's already controlled. This means that if the SPI device is itself a SPI controller and triggers the instantiation of further SPI devices we trigger a deadlock as we try to register and instantiate those devices while in the process of doing so for the parent controller and hence already holding the global spi_add_lock. Since we only care about concurrency within a single SPI bus move the lock to be per controller, avoiding the deadlock. This can be easily triggered in the case of spi-mux.
