This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi-mux: Fix false-positive lockdep splats 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-mux-fix-false-positive-lockdep-splats.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 1f7bb1445fe7c530f324a5763ade202eb8008a0f Author: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Oct 13 15:37:10 2021 +0200 spi-mux: Fix false-positive lockdep splats [ Upstream commit 16a8e2fbb2d49111004efc1c7342e083eafabeb0 ] io_mutex is taken by spi_setup() and spi-mux's .setup() callback calls spi_setup() which results in a nested lock of io_mutex. add_lock is taken by spi_add_device(). The device_add() call in there can result in calling spi-mux's .probe() callback which registers its own spi controller which in turn results in spi_add_device() being called again. To fix this initialize the controller's locks already in spi_alloc_controller() to give spi_mux_probe() a chance to set the lockdep subclass.
