The GPU coredump function violates the locking order by holding the MMU context lock while trying to acquire the etnaviv_gem_object lock. This results in a possible ABBA deadlock with other codepaths which follow the established locking order. Fortunately this is easy to fix by dropping the MMU context lock earlier, as the BO dumping doesn't need the MMU context to be stable. The only thing the BO dumping cares about are the BO mappings, which are stable across the lifetime of the job. Fixes: 27b67278e007 (drm/etnaviv: rework MMU handling) [ Not really the first bad commit, but the one where this fix applies cleanly. Stable kernels need a manual backport. ] Reported-by: Christian Gmeiner <christian.gmeiner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Lucas Stach <l.stach@pengutronix.de> Tested-by: Christian Gmeiner <christian.gmeiner@gmail.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
