Subject: [PATCH 3.4 13/37] b43: Fix lockdep splat
Date: Tue,  4 Feb 2014 13:00:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140204210056.382978249@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140204210055.992134150@linuxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>

commit 09164043f63c947a49797750a09ca1cd7c31108e upstream.

In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67561, a locking dependency is reported
when b43 is used with hostapd, and rfkill is used to kill the radio output.

The lockdep splat (in part) is as follows:

======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.12.0 #1 Not tainted
-------------------------------------------------------
rfkill/10040 is trying to acquire lock:
 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8146f282>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20

but task is already holding lock:
 (rfkill_global_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa04832ca>] rfkill_fop_write+0x6a/0x170 [rfkill]

--snip--

Chain exists of:
  rtnl_mutex --> misc_mtx --> rfkill_global_mutex

The fix is to move the initialization of the hardware random number generator
outside the code range covered by the rtnl_mutex.
