Converting the hotplug locking, i.e. get_online_cpus(), to a percpu rwsem
unearthed a circular lock dependency which was hidden from lockdep due to
the lockdep annotation of get_online_cpus() which prevents lockdep from
creating full dependency chains. There are several variants of this. And
example is:
Chain exists of:
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> drm_global_mutex --> &item->mutex
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&item->mutex);
lock(drm_global_mutex);
lock(&item->mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
because there are dependencies through workqueues. The call chain is:
get_online_cpus
apply_workqueue_attrs
__alloc_workqueue_key
ttm_mem_global_init
ast_ttm_mem_global_init
drm_global_item_ref
ast_mm_init
ast_driver_load
drm_dev_register
drm_get_pci_dev
ast_pci_probe
local_pci_probe
work_for_cpu_fn
process_one_work
worker_thread
This is not a problem of get_online_cpus() recursion, it's a possible
deadlock undetected by lockdep so far.
The cure is to use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() to
protect the PCI probing.
There is a side effect to this: cpu_hotplug_disable() makes a concurrent
cpu hotplug attempt via the sysfs interfaces fail with -EBUSY, but PCI
probing usually happens during the boot process where no interaction is
possible. Any later invocations are infrequent enough and concurrent
hotplug attempts are so unlikely that the danger of user space visible
regressions is very close to zero. Anyway, thats preferrable over a real
deadlock.
