Subject: [PATCH] gpio: sch: use raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path

sch_irq_unmask() enables the GPIO IRQ and then updates the controller
state through sch_irq_mask_unmask(), which takes sch->lock with
spin_lock_irqsave().  The callback can be reached from irq_startup()
while setting up a requested IRQ.  That path is not sleepable, but on
PREEMPT_RT a regular spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock.

This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually
reviewed against the current tree.

The grounded PoC kept the request_threaded_irq() -> __setup_irq() ->
irq_startup() -> sch_irq_unmask() -> sch_irq_mask_unmask() carrier and
used the original spin_lock_irqsave(&sch->lock) edge.  Lockdep reported:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context
  hardirqs last disabled at ... __setup_irq.constprop.0 ... [vuln_msv]
  sch_rt_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1c/0x30 [vuln_msv]
  sch_irq_mask_unmask.constprop.0+0x31/0x70 [vuln_msv]
  __setup_irq.constprop.0+0xd/0x30 [vuln_msv]

Convert the SCH controller lock to raw_spinlock_t.  The same lock is
also used by the GPIO direction and value callbacks, but those critical
sections only update MMIO-backed GPIO registers and do not contain
sleepable operations.  Keeping this register lock non-sleeping is
therefore appropriate for the irqchip callbacks and does not change the
GPIO-side locking contract.

[PATCH 6.6.y] gpio: sch: use raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path

[Sasha Levin]

From: Runyu Xiao <runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 286533cb14a3c8a8bd39ff64ea2fc8e1aa0f638b ]

sch_irq_unmask() enables the GPIO IRQ and then updates the controller
state through sch_irq_mask_unmask(), which takes sch->lock with
spin_lock_irqsave().  The callback can be reached from irq_startup()
while setting up a requested IRQ.  That path is not sleepable, but on
PREEMPT_RT a regular spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock.

This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually
reviewed against the current tree.

The grounded PoC kept the request_threaded_irq() -> __setup_irq() ->
irq_startup() -> sch_irq_unmask() -> sch_irq_mask_unmask() carrier and
used the original spin_lock_irqsave(&sch->lock) edge.  Lockdep reported:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context
  hardirqs last disabled at ... __setup_irq.constprop.0 ... [vuln_msv]
  sch_rt_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1c/0x30 [vuln_msv]
  sch_irq_mask_unmask.constprop.0+0x31/0x70 [vuln_msv]
  __setup_irq.constprop.0+0xd/0x30 [vuln_msv]

Convert the SCH controller lock to raw_spinlock_t.  The same lock is
also used by the GPIO direction and value callbacks, but those critical
sections only update MMIO-backed GPIO registers and do not contain
sleepable operations.  Keeping this register lock non-sleeping is
therefore appropriate for the irqchip callbacks and does not change the
GPIO-side locking contract.
