serial: imx: Put DMA enabled UART in separate lock subclass
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Lockdep complains about possible circular locking dependencies when the
i.MX SDMA driver issues console messages under its spinlock. While the
SDMA driver calls back into the UART when issuing a message, the i.MX
UART driver will never call back into the SDMA driver for this UART,
because DMA is explicitly not used for UARTs providing the console.

To avoid the lockdep warnings put the UART port lock for console devices
into a separate subclass.

This fixes possible deadlock warnings like the following which was
provoked by adding a printk to the i.MX SDMA driver at a place where the
driver holds its spinlock.

swapper/0/0 is trying to acquire lock:
c1818e04 (console_owner){-...}-{0:0}, at: console_flush_all+0x1c4/0x634

but task is already holding lock:
c44649e0 (&vc->lock){-...}-{3:3}, at: sdma_int_handler+0xc4/0x368

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  console_owner --> &port_lock_key --> &vc->lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&vc->lock);
                               lock(&port_lock_key);
                               lock(&vc->lock);
  lock(console_owner);
