Hello,
My static analysis tool reports a possible ABBA deadlock in the dfl
driver in Linux 5.10:
dfl_fpga_cdev_assign_port()
mutex_lock(&cdev->lock); --> Line 1067 (Lock A)
mutex_lock(&pdata->lock); --> Line 1624 (Lock B)
fme_pr()
mutex_lock(&pdata->lock); --> Line 126 (Lock B)
fpga_region_program_fpga()
fpga_bridges_enable()
fpga_bridge_enable()
fme_bridge_enable_set() --> function pointer via
"bridge->br_ops->enable_set()"
dfl_fpga_cdev_find_port()
mutex_lock(&cdev->lock); --> Line 499 (LockA)
When dfl_fpga_cdev_assign_port() and fme_pr() are concurrently executed,
the deadlock can occur.
I am not quite sure whether this possible deadlock is real and how to
fix it if it is real.
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks

Best wishes,
Jia-Ju Bai

This lock is from port platform device.

This lock is from fme platform device.
Actually they are different locks, but yes, maybe we should consider
improving the naming to avoid misunderstanding.
Thanks
