Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 018/130] ALSA: pcm: Fix lockdep warning with nonatomic PCM ops
3.19.8-ckt6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>
commit 67756e3191c90e7c0b94b8b2fb63de255b6cd337 upstream.
With the nonatomic PCM ops, the system may spew lockdep warnings like:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
4.2.0-rc1-jeejaval3 #12 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
aplay/4029 is trying to acquire lock:
(snd_pcm_link_rwsem){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff816fd473>] snd_pcm_stream_lock+0x43/0x60
but task is already holding lock:
(snd_pcm_link_rwsem){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff816fcf29>] snd_pcm_action_nonatomic+0x29/0x80
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(snd_pcm_link_rwsem);
lock(snd_pcm_link_rwsem);
Although this is false-positive as the rwsem is taken always as
read-only for these code paths, it's certainly annoying to see this at
any occasion. A simple fix is to use down_read_nested() in
snd_pcm_stream_lock() that can be called inside another lock.
