pinctrl: Don't just pretend to protect pinctrl_maps, do it for real Way back, when the world was a simpler place and there was no war, no evil, and no kernel bugs, there was just a single pinctrl lock. That was how the world was when (57291ce pinctrl: core device tree mapping table parsing support) was written. In that case, there were instances where the pinctrl mutex was already held when pinctrl_register_map() was called, hence a "locked" parameter was passed to the function to indicate that the mutex was already locked (so we shouldn't lock it again). A few years ago in (42fed7b pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to pinctrl_dev struct), we switched to a separate pinctrl_maps_mutex. ...but (oops) we forgot to re-think about the whole "locked" parameter for pinctrl_register_map(). Basically the "locked" parameter appears to still refer to whether the bigger pinctrl_dev mutex is locked, but we're using it to skip locks of our (now separate) pinctrl_maps_mutex. That's kind of a bad thing(TM). Probably nobody noticed because most of the calls to pinctrl_register_map happen at boot time and we've got synchronous device probing. ...and even cases where we're asynchronous don't end up actually hitting the race too often. ...but after banging my head against the wall for a bug that reproduced 1 out of 1000 reboots and lots of looking through kgdb, I finally noticed this. Anyway, we can now safely remove the "locked" parameter and go back to a war-free, evil-free, and kernel-bug-free world.

pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to pinctrl_dev struct This mutex avoids deadlock in case of use of multiple pin controllers. Before this modification, by using a global mutex, deadlock appeared when, for example, a call to pinctrl_pins_show() locked the pinctrl_mutex, called the ops->pin_dbg_show of a particular pin controller. If this pin controller needs I2C access to retrieve configuration information and I2C driver is using pinctrl to drive its pins, a call to pinctrl_select_state() try to lock again pinctrl_mutex which leads to a deadlock. Notice that the mutex grab from the two direction functions was moved into pinctrl_gpio_direction(). For several cases, we can't replace pinctrl_mutex by pctldev->mutex, because at this stage, pctldev is not accessible : - pinctrl_get()/pinctrl_put() - pinctrl_register_maps() So add respectively pinctrl_list_mutex and pinctrl_maps_mutex in order to protect pinctrl_list and pinctrl_maps list instead. Reintroduce pinctrldev_list_mutex in find_pinctrl_by_of_node(), pinctrl_find_and_add_gpio_range() pinctrl_request_gpio(), pinctrl_free_gpio(), pinctrl_gpio_direction(), pinctrl_devices_show(), pinctrl_register() and pinctrl_unregister() to protect pinctrldev_list. Changes v2->v3: - Fix a missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for pinctrl_select_state(). Changes v1->v2: - pinctrl_select_state_locked() is removed, all lock mechanism is located inside pinctrl_select_state(). When parsing the state->setting list, take the per-pin-controller driver lock. (Patrice). - Introduce pinctrldev_list_mutex to protect pinctrldev_list in all functions which parse or modify pictrldev_list. (Patrice). - move find_pinctrl_by_of_node() from pinctrl/devicetree.c to pinctrl/core.c in order to protect pinctrldev_list. (Patrice). - Sink mutex:es into some functions and remove some _locked variants down to where the lists are actually accessed to make things simpler. (Linus) - Drop *all* mutexes completely from pinctrl_lookup_state() and pinctrl_select_state() - no relevant mutex was taken and it was unclear what this was protecting against.
