Commit ba2bbfbf6307 (PM / Domains: Remove intermediate states from the power off sequence) removed the mutex_unlock()/_lock() around powering on a genpd's master domain in __genpd_poweron(). Since all genpd's share a mutex lockdep class, this causes a "possible recursive locking detected" lockdep warning on boot when trying to power on a genpd slave domain: [ 1.893137] ============================================= [ 1.893139] [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] [ 1.893143] 3.18.0 #531 Not tainted [ 1.893145] --------------------------------------------- [ 1.893148] kworker/u8:4/113 is trying to acquire lock: [ 1.893167] (&genpd->lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffc000573818>] genpd_poweron+0x30/0x70 [ 1.893169] [ 1.893169] but task is already holding lock: [ 1.893179] (&genpd->lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffc000573818>] genpd_poweron+0x30/0x70 [ 1.893182] [ 1.893182] other info that might help us debug this: [ 1.893184] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 1.893184] [ 1.893185] CPU0 [ 1.893187] ---- [ 1.893191] lock(&genpd->lock); [ 1.893195] lock(&genpd->lock); [ 1.893196] [ 1.893196] *** DEADLOCK *** [ 1.893196] [ 1.893198] May be due to missing lock nesting notation [ 1.893198] [ 1.893201] 4 locks held by kworker/u8:4/113: [ 1.893217] #0: ("%s""deferwq"){++++.+}, at: [<ffffffc00023b4e0>] process_one_work+0x1f8/0x50c [ 1.893229] #1: (deferred_probe_work){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffc00023b4e0>] process_one_work+0x1f8/0x50c [ 1.893241] #2: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffc000560920>] __device_attach+0x40/0x12c [ 1.893251] #3: (&genpd->lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffc000573818>] genpd_poweron+0x30/0x70 [ 1.893253] [ 1.893253] stack backtrace: [ 1.893259] CPU: 2 PID: 113 Comm: kworker/u8:4 Not tainted 3.18.0 #531 [ 1.893269] Workqueue: deferwq deferred_probe_work_func [ 1.893271] Call trace: [ 1.893295] [<ffffffc000269dcc>] __lock_acquire+0x68c/0x19a8 [ 1.893299] [<ffffffc00026b954>] lock_acquire+0x128/0x164 [ 1.893304] [<ffffffc00084e090>] mutex_lock_nested+0x90/0x3b4 [ 1.893308] [<ffffffc000573814>] genpd_poweron+0x2c/0x70 [ 1.893312] [<ffffffc0005738ac>] __genpd_poweron.part.14+0x54/0xcc [ 1.893316] [<ffffffc000573834>] genpd_poweron+0x4c/0x70 [ 1.893321] [<ffffffc00057447c>] genpd_dev_pm_attach+0x160/0x19c [ 1.893326] [<ffffffc00056931c>] dev_pm_domain_attach+0x1c/0x2c ... Fix this by releasing the slaves mutex before acquiring the master's, which restores the old behavior.
