4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shuah Khan <shuahkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f45ce9877561044090010e0eb0fad644232ded04 ] Driver calls request_firmware() whenever the device is opened for the first time. As the device gets opened and closed, dev->num_inst == 1 is true several times. This is not necessary since the firmware is saved in the fw_buf. s5p_mfc_load_firmware() copies the buffer returned by the request_firmware() to dev->fw_buf. fw_buf sticks around until it gets released from s5p_mfc_remove(), hence there is no need to keep requesting firmware and copying it to fw_buf. This might have been overlooked when changes are made to free fw_buf from the device release interface s5p_mfc_release(). Fix s5p_mfc_load_firmware() to call request_firmware() once and keep state. Change _probe() to load firmware once fw_buf has been allocated. s5p_mfc_open() and it continues to call s5p_mfc_load_firmware() and init hardware which is the step where firmware is written to the device. This addresses the mfc_mutex contention due to repeated request_firmware() calls from open() in the following circular locking warning: [ 552.194115] qtdemux0:sink/2710 is trying to acquire lock: [ 552.199488] (&dev->mfc_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<bf145544>] s5p_mfc_mmap+0x28/0xd4 [s5p_mfc] [ 552.207459] but task is already holding lock: [ 552.213264] (&mm->mmap_sem){++++}, at: [<c01df2e4>] vm_mmap_pgoff+0x44/0xb8 [ 552.220284] which lock already depends on the new lock.
