Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: pcm: fix snd_pcm_link() lockdep splat
Date: Mon, 08 Jun 2020 12:06:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <37252c65941e58473b1219ca9fab03d48f47e3e3.1591610330.git.mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1591610329.git.mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl>

Add and use snd_pcm_stream_lock_nested() in snd_pcm_link/unlink
implementation.  The code is fine, but generates a lockdep complaint:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.7.1mq+ #381 Tainted: G           O
--------------------------------------------
pulseaudio/4180 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888402d6f508 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xda8/0xee0 [snd_pcm]

but task is already holding lock:
ffff8883f7a8cf18 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xe4e/0xee0 [snd_pcm]

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&group->lock);
  lock(&group->lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by pulseaudio/4180:
 #0: ffffffffa1a05190 (snd_pcm_link_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xca0/0xee0 [snd_pcm]
 #1: ffff8883f7a8cf18 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xe4e/0xee0 [snd_pcm]
[...]
