Subject: regulator: deadlock vs memory reclaim

Hi guys,

Commit f8702f9e4aa7 ("regulator: core: Use ww_mutex for regulators locking")
from Nov 2018 tried to fix possible deadlocks when handling coupled
regulators. Unfortunately it introduced another possible deadlock,
as discovered by lockdep (see below), instead.

regulator_lock_dependent() starts by taking regulator_list_mutex, The
same mutex covers eg. regulator initialization, including memory allocations
that happen there. This will deadlock when you have filesystem on eg. eMMC
(which uses a regulator to control module voltages) and you register
a new regulator (hotplug a device?) when under memory pressure.

There is also another problem with regulator_lock_dependent(): all the
w/w rollback stuff is useless: because of the outer lock, there can only
be one contendant doing multiple-lock-grabbing procedure. In this setup,
the procedure cannot detect other processes waiting on
regulator_lock_dependent() and it cannot signal (wound a transaction of)
current holders of locks taken by regulator_lock().

Basically, we have a BKL for regulator_enable() and we're using ww_mutex
as a recursive mutex with no deadlock prevention whatsoever. The locks
also seem to cover way to much (eg. initialization even before making the
regulator visible to the system).

To fix the regulator vs memory reclaim path I tried pushing all allocations
out of protected sections. After doing a few patches, though, I'm not sure
I'm going in the right direction. Your thoughts?

Best Regards
Michał Mirosław
