drm: avoid circular locks in drm_mode_getconnector
In preparation for a future patch to take a lock on drm_device.master_mutex inside drm_is_current_master(), we first move the call to drm_is_current_master() in drm_mode_getconnector out from the section locked by &dev->mode_config.mutex. This avoids creating a circular lock dependency. Failing to avoid this lock dependency produces the following lockdep splat: ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.13.0-rc7-CI-CI_DRM_10254+ #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kms_frontbuffer/1087 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88810dcd01a8 (&dev->master_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_is_current_master+0x1b/0x40 but task is already holding lock: ffff88810dcd0488 (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_mode_getconnector+0x1c6/0x4a0 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #2 (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}: __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_client_modeset_probe+0x22e/0xca0 __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock+0x42/0x540 intel_fbdev_initial_config+0xf/0x20 [i915] async_run_entry_fn+0x28/0x130 process_one_work+0x26d/0x5c0 worker_thread+0x37/0x380 kthread+0x144/0x170 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 -> #1 (&client->modeset_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}: __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_client_modeset_commit_locked+0x1c/0x180 drm_client_modeset_commit+0x1c/0x40 __drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0x88/0xb0 drm_fb_helper_set_par+0x34/0x40 intel_fbdev_set_par+0x11/0x40 [i915] fbcon_init+0x270/0x4f0 visual_init+0xc6/0x130 do_bind_con_driver+0x1e5/0x2d0 do_take_over_console+0x10e/0x180 do_fbcon_takeover+0x53/0xb0 register_framebuffer+0x22d/0x310 __drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock+0x36c/0x540 intel_fbdev_initial_config+0xf/0x20 [i915] async_run_entry_fn+0x28/0x130 process_one_work+0x26d/0x5c0 worker_thread+0x37/0x380 kthread+0x144/0x170 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 -> #0 (&dev->master_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}: __lock_acquire+0x151e/0x2590 lock_acquire+0xd1/0x3d0 __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_is_current_master+0x1b/0x40 drm_mode_getconnector+0x37e/0x4a0 drm_ioctl_kernel+0xa8/0xf0 drm_ioctl+0x1e8/0x390 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x6a/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae other info that might help us debug this: Chain exists of: &dev->master_mutex --> &client->modeset_mutex --> &dev->mode_config.mutex Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex); lock(&client->modeset_mutex); lock(&dev->mode_config.mutex); lock(&dev->master_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by kms_frontbuffer/1087: #0: ffff88810dcd0488 (&dev->mode_config.mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: drm_mode_getconnector+0x1c6/0x4a0 stack backtrace: CPU: 7 PID: 1087 Comm: kms_frontbuffer Not tainted 5.13.0-rc7-CI-CI_DRM_10254+ #1 Hardware name: Intel Corporation Ice Lake Client Platform/IceLake U DDR4 SODIMM PD RVP TLC, BIOS ICLSFWR1.R00.3234.A01.1906141750 06/14/2019 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x7f/0xad check_noncircular+0x12e/0x150 __lock_acquire+0x151e/0x2590 lock_acquire+0xd1/0x3d0 __mutex_lock+0xab/0x970 drm_is_current_master+0x1b/0x40 drm_mode_getconnector+0x37e/0x4a0 drm_ioctl_kernel+0xa8/0xf0 drm_ioctl+0x1e8/0x390 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x6a/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Reported-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi <desmondcheongzx@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210712043508.11584-2-desmondcheongzx@gmail.com
