Subject: [PATCH 1/1] pinctrl: Fix two deadlocks
This patch is to fix two deadlock cases.
Deadlock 1:
CPU #1
pinctrl_register-> pinctrl_get ->
create_pinctrl
(Holding lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)
-> get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname
(Trying to acquire lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
CPU #0
pinctrl_unregister
(Holding lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
-> pinctrl_put ->> pinctrl_free ->
pinctrl_dt_free_maps -> pinctrl_unregister_map
(Trying to acquire lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)
Simply to say
CPU#1 is holding lock A and trying to acquire lock B,
CPU#0 is holding lock B and trying to acquire lock A.
Deadlock 2:
CPU #3
pinctrl_register-> pinctrl_get ->
create_pinctrl
(Holding lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)
-> get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname
(Trying to acquire lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
CPU #2
pinctrl_unregister
(Holding lock pctldev->mutex)
-> pinctrl_put ->> pinctrl_free ->
pinctrl_dt_free_maps -> pinctrl_unregister_map
(Trying to acquire lock pinctrl_maps_mutex)
CPU #0
tegra_gpio_request
(Holding lock pinctrldev_list_mutex)
-> pinctrl_get_device_gpio_range
(Trying to acquire lock pctldev->mutex)
Simply to say
CPU#3 is holding lock A and trying to acquire lock D,
CPU#2 is holding lock B and trying to acquire lock A,
CPU#0 is holding lock D and trying to acquire lock B.
