Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] hwmon: (gigabyte_waterforce) Make status_report_request_lock IRQ safe
Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 22:33:49 +0000 [thread overview]

> waterforce_raw_event() is the HID ->raw_event() callback and acquires
> priv->status_report_request_lock with a plain spin_lock(), while
> waterforce_get_status() acquires the same lock with spin_lock_bh().
>
> Depending on the HID transport and USB host controller driver,
> waterforce_raw_event() can run in process context (e.g. via uhid with
> softirqs and hardirqs enabled), softirq context (USB HCDs using HCD_BH),
> or hard interrupt context (USB HCDs without HCD_BH, such as OHCI/UHCI).

> Because spin_lock_bh() in waterforce_get_status() leaves hard interrupts
> enabled, a hard-IRQ URB completion invoking waterforce_raw_event() on the
> same CPU will self-deadlock on status_report_request_lock. Likewise, a
> plain spin_lock() in waterforce_raw_event() when called from process
> context via uhid leaves both softirqs and hardirqs enabled, risking a
> self-deadlock if interrupted by softirq or hardirq raw-event delivery on
> the same CPU.
>
> Use spin_lock_irq() in waterforce_get_status(), which always runs in
> process context, and spin_lock_irqsave() in waterforce_raw_event(), which
> may run with interrupts either enabled or disabled.
