commit 73a32129f8ccb556704a26b422f54e048bf14bd0 upstream. Allocating memory with regulator_list_mutex held makes lockdep unhappy when memory pressure makes the system do fs_reclaim on eg. eMMC using a regulator. Push the lock inside regulator_init_coupling() after the allocation. ====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 5.7.13+ #533 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/383 is trying to acquire lock: cca78ca4 (&sbi->write_io[i][j].io_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: __submit_merged_write_cond+0x104/0x154 but task is already holding lock: c0e38518 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x0/0x50 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #2 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}: fs_reclaim_acquire.part.11+0x40/0x50 fs_reclaim_acquire+0x24/0x28 __kmalloc+0x54/0x218 regulator_register+0x860/0x1584 dummy_regulator_probe+0x60/0xa8 [...] other info that might help us debug this: Chain exists of: &sbi->write_io[i][j].io_rwsem --> regulator_list_mutex --> fs_reclaim Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(fs_reclaim); lock(regulator_list_mutex); lock(fs_reclaim); lock(&sbi->write_io[i][j].io_rwsem); *** DEADLOCK *** 1 lock held by kswapd0/383: #0: c0e38518 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __fs_reclaim_acquire+0x0/0x50 [...] Fixes: d8ca7d184b33 ("regulator: core: Introduce API for regulators coupling customization") Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Reviewed-by: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1a889cf7f61c6429c9e6b34ddcdde99be77a26b6.1597195321.git.mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
