This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: musb: fix possible spinlock deadlock to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From bc1e2154542071e3cfe1734b143af9b8bdacf8bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bin Liu <b-liu@xxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2017 14:43:37 -0600 Subject: usb: musb: fix possible spinlock deadlock The DSPS glue calls del_timer_sync() in its musb_platform_disable() implementation, which requires the caller to not hold a lock. But musb_remove() calls musb_platform_disable() will musb->lock held. This could causes spinlock deadlock. So change musb_remove() to call musb_platform_disable() without holds musb->lock. This doesn't impact the musb_platform_disable implementation in other glue drivers. root@am335x-evm:~# modprobe -r musb-dsps [ 126.134879] musb-hdrc musb-hdrc.1: remove, state 1 [ 126.140465] usb usb2: USB disconnect, device number 1 [ 126.146178] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 [ 126.416985] musb-hdrc musb-hdrc.1: USB bus 2 deregistered [ 126.423943] [ 126.425525] ====================================================== [ 126.431997] [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] [ 126.438564] 4.11.0-rc1-00003-g1557f13bca04-dirty #77 Not tainted [ 126.444852] ------------------------------------------------------- [ 126.451414] modprobe/778 is trying to acquire lock: [ 126.456523] (((&glue->timer))){+.-...}, at: [<c01b8788>] del_timer_sync+0x0/0xd0 [ 126.464403] [ 126.464403] but task is already holding lock: [ 126.470511] (&(&musb->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<bf30b7f8>] musb_remove+0x50/0x1 30 [musb_hdrc] [ 126.479965] [ 126.479965] which lock already depends on the new lock.
