Lockdep reports that acpi_nfit_shutdown() may deadlock against an
opportune acpi_nfit_scrub(). acpi_nfit_scrub () is run from inside a
'work' and therefore has already acquired workqueue-internal locks. It
also acquiires acpi_desc->init_mutex. acpi_nfit_shutdown() first
acquires init_mutex, and was subsequently attempting to cancel any
pending workqueue items. This reversed locking order causes a potential
deadlock:
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.2.0-rc3 #116 Tainted: G O N
------------------------------------------------------
libndctl/1958 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888129b461c0 ((work_completion)(&(&acpi_desc->dwork)->work)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __flush_work+0x43/0x450
but task is already holding lock:
ffff888129b460e8 (&acpi_desc->init_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: acpi_nfit_shutdown+0x87/0xd0 [nfit]
which lock already depends on the new lock.
...
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&acpi_desc->init_mutex);
lock((work_completion)(&(&acpi_desc->dwork)->work));
lock(&acpi_desc->init_mutex);
lock((work_completion)(&(&acpi_desc->dwork)->work));
*** DEADLOCK ***
Since the workqueue manipulation is protected by its own internal locking,
the cancellation of pending work doesn't need to be done under
acpi_desc->init_mutex. Move cancel_delayed_work_sync() outside the
init_mutex to fix the deadlock. Any work that starts after
acpi_nfit_shutdown() drops the lock will see ARS_CANCEL, and the
cancel_delayed_work_sync() will safely flush it out.
