[ Upstream commit 7b94ea50514d1a0dc94f02723b603c27bc0ea597 ] If an i2c topology has instances of nested muxes, then a lockdep splat is produced when when i2c_parent_lock_bus() is called. Here is an example: ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected -------------------------------------------- insmod/68159 is trying to acquire lock: (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] but task is already holding lock: (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(i2c_register_adapter#2); lock(i2c_register_adapter#2); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 1 lock held by insmod/68159: #0: (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] stack backtrace: CPU: 13 PID: 68159 Comm: insmod Tainted: G O Call Trace: dump_stack+0x67/0x98 __lock_acquire+0x162e/0x1780 lock_acquire+0xba/0x200 rt_mutex_lock+0x44/0x60 i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux] i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x3e/0x50 [i2c_mux] i2c_smbus_xfer+0xf0/0x700 i2c_smbus_read_byte+0x42/0x70 my2c_init+0xa2/0x1000 [my2c] do_one_initcall+0x51/0x192 do_init_module+0x62/0x216 load_module+0x20f9/0x2b50 SYSC_init_module+0x19a/0x1c0 SyS_init_module+0xe/0x10 do_syscall_64+0x6c/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x42/0xb7 Reported-by: John Sperbeck <jsperbeck@google.com> Tested-by: John Sperbeck <jsperbeck@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: Deepa Dinamani <deepadinamani@google.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Chang <dpf@google.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Philippe Ombredanne <pombredanne@nexb.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Wolfram Sang <wsa@the-dreams.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180720083914.1950-3-peda@axentia.se Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
