4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Rosin <peda@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7b94ea50514d1a0dc94f02723b603c27bc0ea597 ] If an i2c topology has instances of nested muxes, then a lockdep splat is produced when when i2c_parent_lock_bus() is called. Here is an example: ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected -------------------------------------------- insmod/68159 is trying to acquire lock: (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] but task is already holding lock: (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(i2c_register_adapter#2); lock(i2c_register_adapter#2); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 1 lock held by insmod/68159: #0: (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] stack backtrace: CPU: 13 PID: 68159 Comm: insmod Tainted: G O Call Trace: dump_stack+0x67/0x98 __lock_acquire+0x162e/0x1780 lock_acquire+0xba/0x200 rt_mutex_lock+0x44/0x60 i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x3e/0x50 [i2c_mux] i2c_smbus_xfer+0xf0/0x700 i2c_smbus_read_byte+0x42/0x70 my2c_init+0xa2/0x1000 [my2c] do_one_initcall+0x51/0x192 do_init_module+0x62/0x216 load_module+0x20f9/0x2b50 SYSC_init_module+0x19a/0x1c0 SyS_init_module+0xe/0x10 do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x42/0xb7 Reported-by: John Sperbeck <jsperbeck@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: John Sperbeck <jsperbeck@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <peda@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Deepa Dinamani <deepadinamani@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Chang <dpf@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Philippe Ombredanne <pombredanne@xxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> Cc: Wolfram Sang <wsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180720083914.1950-3-peda@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c | 2 +- drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c @@ -638,7 +638,7 @@ static int i2c_check_addr_busy(struct i2 static void i2c_adapter_lock_bus(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, unsigned int flags) { - rt_mutex_lock(&adapter->bus_lock); + rt_mutex_lock_nested(&adapter->bus_lock, i2c_adapter_depth(adapter)); } /** --- a/drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c @@ -144,7 +144,7 @@ static void i2c_mux_lock_bus(struct i2c_ struct i2c_mux_priv *priv = adapter->algo_data; struct i2c_adapter *parent = priv->muxc->parent; - rt_mutex_lock(&parent->mux_lock); + rt_mutex_lock_nested(&parent->mux_lock, i2c_adapter_depth(adapter)); if (!(flags & I2C_LOCK_ROOT_ADAPTER)) return; i2c_lock_bus(parent, flags); @@ -181,7 +181,7 @@ static void i2c_parent_lock_bus(struct i struct i2c_mux_priv *priv = adapter->algo_data; struct i2c_adapter *parent = priv->muxc->parent; - rt_mutex_lock(&parent->mux_lock); + rt_mutex_lock_nested(&parent->mux_lock, i2c_adapter_depth(adapter)); i2c_lock_bus(parent, flags); }
