Sorry I have to use object rather than module here as there might be several objects inside a module that have the same situation need to be handled. > It's likely that object B will hold lock_of_B around unregister/register when > object B is destroyed/created, the lock_of_B is likely also used inside the > callback. > So when object A holds the lock_of_A around the callback invocation, it leads to > dead lock since: > 1. the locking order for the register/unregister side will be: lock(lock_of_B), > lock(lock_of_A) 2. the locking order for the callback side will be: lock(lock_of_A), > lock(lock_of_B) They are in the reversed order! I think this example is not quite correct. There is another aspect in unregister implementation which is the intent of this patch: No callback running/imitated after "unregister", we can call this a "flush" requirement. Inside of the callback, lock_of_B should not be held if "flush" is required. > > IMO, Linux may need to introduce __callback, __api as decelerators for the > functions, and use sparse to enforce this rule, sparse knows if a callback is > invoked under some locks. > > In the case of ACPICA space_handlers, as you may know, when an ACPI > operation region handler is invoked, there will be no lock held inside ACPICA > (interpreter lock must be freed before executing operation region handlers). > So the likelihood of the dead lock is pretty much high here! I need to mention another requirement of the operation region handler. It is required that multiple operation region handlers are executed at the same time, or the IO operations invoked by the BIOS ASL codes will be serialized. IMO, IO operations invoked by the BIOS ASL need to be parallelized. Thus mutex is not useful to implement a protection here. So the mutex is unlocked before executing the handler, IMO, reference counting is useful here to meet this requirement. > > > > What exactly prevents context from becoming NULL before the call above? I think my answers did not answer this question directly. Sorry that I'm not clear what you want to ask here. Let me just try to be practical. The code is here: > > > > + mutex_lock(&acpi_mutex_region); > > > + if (!acpi_region_callable(rgn) || !rgn->handler) { > > > + handler = rgn->handler; > > > + context = rgn->context; > > > + mutex_unlock(&acpi_mutex_region); The handler is ensured not to be NULL within the mutex lock.
