Bummer. Yeah, I also guess this is a wrong detection, but I'm not familiar with this filed. If it is really so, the lockdep guys maybe need to fix it, rather than altering an overkill solution to accommodate it. What's your opinion? In fact, I think "[PATCH] driver core / ACPI: Avoid device removal locking problems" is a good solution.:) Regards, Gu > >>> [<ffffffff8131b6fc>] acpi_bus_hot_remove_device+0x37/0x73 >>> >>> >>> [<ffffffff81315dac>] acpi_os_execute_deferred+0x27/0x34 >>> >>> >>> [<ffffffff8106bec8>] process_one_work+0x1e8/0x560 >>> >>> >>> [<ffffffff8106d0a0>] worker_thread+0x120/0x3a0 >>> >>> >>> [<ffffffff81073b5e>] kthread+0xee/0x100 >>> >>> >>> [<ffffffff815a605c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> other info that might help us debug this: >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Chain exists of: >>> >>> >>> s_active#73 --> pm_mutex --> mem_sysfs_mutex >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Possible unsafe locking scenario: >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> CPU0 CPU1 >>> >>> >>> ---- ---- >>> >>> >>> lock(mem_sysfs_mutex); >>> >>> >>> lock(pm_mutex); >>> >>> >>> lock(mem_sysfs_mutex); >>> >>> >>> lock(s_active#73); >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> *** DEADLOCK *** >>> >>> > > OK, so the patch below is quick and dirty and overkill, but it should make the > splat go away at least. > > Thanks, > Rafael > > > --- > drivers/acpi/scan.c | 3 ++- > drivers/base/core.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++---------------- > 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) > > Index: linux-pm/drivers/base/core.c > =================================================================== > --- linux-pm.orig/drivers/base/core.c > +++ linux-pm/drivers/base/core.c > @@ -49,6 +49,18 @@ static struct kobject *dev_kobj; > struct kobject *sysfs_dev_char_kobj; > struct kobject *sysfs_dev_block_kobj; > > +static DEFINE_MUTEX(device_hotplug_lock); > + > +void lock_device_hotplug(void) > +{ > + mutex_lock(&device_hotplug_lock); > +} > + > +void unlock_device_hotplug(void) > +{ > + mutex_unlock(&device_hotplug_lock); > +} > + > #ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK > static inline int device_is_not_partition(struct device *dev) > { > @@ -408,9 +420,11 @@ static ssize_t show_online(struct device > { > bool val; > > - lock_device_hotplug(); > + if (!mutex_trylock(&device_hotplug_lock)) > + return -EAGAIN; > + > val = !dev->offline; > - unlock_device_hotplug(); > + mutex_unlock(&device_hotplug_lock); > return sprintf(buf, "%u\n", val); > } > > @@ -424,9 +438,11 @@ static ssize_t store_online(struct devic > if (ret < 0) > return ret; > > - lock_device_hotplug(); > + if (!mutex_trylock(&device_hotplug_lock)) > + return -EAGAIN; > + > ret = val ? device_online(dev) : device_offline(dev); > - unlock_device_hotplug(); > + mutex_unlock(&device_hotplug_lock); > return ret < 0 ? ret : count; > } > > @@ -1479,18 +1495,6 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(put_device); > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(device_create_file); > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(device_remove_file); > > -static DEFINE_MUTEX(device_hotplug_lock); > - > -void lock_device_hotplug(void) > -{ > - mutex_lock(&device_hotplug_lock); > -} > - > -void unlock_device_hotplug(void) > -{ > - mutex_unlock(&device_hotplug_lock); > -} > - > static int device_check_offline(struct device *dev, void *not_used) > { > int ret; > Index: linux-pm/drivers/acpi/scan.c > =================================================================== > --- linux-pm.orig/drivers/acpi/scan.c > +++ linux-pm/drivers/acpi/scan.c > @@ -510,7 +510,8 @@ acpi_eject_store(struct device *d, struc > if (ACPI_FAILURE(status) || !acpi_device->flags.ejectable) > return -ENODEV; > > - mutex_lock(&acpi_scan_lock); > + if (!mutex_trylock(&acpi_scan_lock)) > + return -EAGAIN; > > if (acpi_device->flags.eject_pending) { > /* ACPI eject notification event. */ > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
