This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dma-buf/fence: Fix lock inversion within dma-fence-array to the 4.15-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: dma-buf-fence-fix-lock-inversion-within-dma-fence-array.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Mar 16 15:11:07 CET 2018 From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 16:27:19 +0000 Subject: dma-buf/fence: Fix lock inversion within dma-fence-array From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 03e4e0a9e02cf703da331ff6cfd57d0be9bf5692 ] Ages ago Rob Clark noted, "Currently with fence-array, we have a potential deadlock situation. If we fence_add_callback() on an array-fence, the array-fence's lock is acquired first, and in it's ->enable_signaling() callback, it will install cbs on it's array-member fences, so the array-member's lock is acquired second. But in the signal path, the array-member's lock is acquired first, and the array-fence's lock acquired second." Rob proposed either extensive changes to dma-fence to unnest the fence-array signaling, or to defer the signaling onto a workqueue. This is a more refined version of the later, that should keep the latency of the fence signaling to a minimum by using an irq-work, which is executed asap.
