ath10k: perform crash dump collection in workqueue
Commit 25733c4e ("ath10k: pci: use mutex for diagnostic window CE polling") introduced a regression where we try to sleep (grab a mutex) in an atomic context: [ 233.602619] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:254 [ 233.602626] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/0 [ 233.602636] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G W 5.1.0-rc2 #4 [ 233.602642] Hardware name: Google Scarlet (DT) [ 233.602647] Call trace: [ 233.602663] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x11c [ 233.602672] show_stack+0x20/0x28 [ 233.602681] dump_stack+0x98/0xbc [ 233.602690] ___might_sleep+0x154/0x16c [ 233.602696] __might_sleep+0x78/0x88 [ 233.602704] mutex_lock+0x2c/0x5c [ 233.602717] ath10k_pci_diag_read_mem+0x68/0x21c [ath10k_pci] [ 233.602725] ath10k_pci_diag_read32+0x48/0x74 [ath10k_pci] [ 233.602733] ath10k_pci_dump_registers+0x5c/0x16c [ath10k_pci] [ 233.602741] ath10k_pci_fw_crashed_dump+0xb8/0x548 [ath10k_pci] [ 233.602749] ath10k_pci_napi_poll+0x60/0x128 [ath10k_pci] [ 233.602757] net_rx_action+0x140/0x388 [ 233.602766] __do_softirq+0x1b0/0x35c [...] ath10k_pci_fw_crashed_dump() is called from NAPI contexts, and firmware memory dumps are retrieved using the diag memory interface. A simple reproduction case is to run this on QCA6174A / WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00132-QCARMSWP-1, which happens to be a way to b0rk the firmware: dd if=/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/mem_value bs=4K count=1 of=/dev/null (NB: simulated firmware crashes, via debugfs, don't trigger firmware dumps.) The fix is to move the crash-dump into a workqueue context, and avoid relying on 'data_lock' for most mutual exclusion. We only keep using it here for protecting 'fw_crash_counter', while the rest of the coredump buffers are protected by a new 'dump_mutex'. I've tested the above with simulated firmware crashes (debugfs 'reset' file), real firmware crashes (the 'dd' command above), and a variety of reboot and suspend/resume configurations on QCA6174A.
