ptp: vclock: use mutex to fix "sleep on atomic" bug
[ Upstream commit 67d93ffc0f3c47094750bde6d62e7c5765dc47a6 ]
vclocks were using spinlocks to protect access to its timecounter and
cyclecounter. Access to timecounter/cyclecounter is backed by the same
driver callbacks that are used for non-virtual PHCs, but the usage of
the spinlock imposes a new limitation that didn't exist previously: now
they're called in atomic context so they mustn't sleep.
Some drivers like sfc or ice may sleep on these callbacks, causing
errors like "BUG: scheduling while atomic: ptp5/25223/0x00000002"
Fix it replacing the vclock's spinlock by a mutex. It fix the mentioned
bug and it doesn't introduce longer delays.
I've tested synchronizing various different combinations of clocks:
- vclock->sysclock
- sysclock->vclock
- vclock->vclock
- hardware PHC in different NIC -> vclock
- created 4 vclocks and launch 4 parallel phc2sys processes with
lockdep enabled
In all cases, comparing the delays reported by phc2sys, they are in the
same range of values than before applying the patch.
