Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] gpio: pca953x: fix an incorrect lockdep warning
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 18:02:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474041765-17818-5-git-send-email-bgolaszewski@baylibre.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1474041765-17818-1-git-send-email-bgolaszewski@baylibre.com>

If an I2C GPIO multiplexer is driven by a GPIO provided by an expander
when there's a second expander using the same device driver on one of
the I2C bus segments, lockdep prints a deadlock warning when trying to
set the direction or the value of the GPIOs provided by the second
expander.

The below diagram presents the setup:

                                               - - - - -
 -------             ---------  Bus segment 1 |         |
|       |           |         |---------------  Devices
|       | SCL/SDA   |         |               |         |
| Linux |-----------| I2C MUX |                - - - - -
|       |    |      |         | Bus segment 2
|       |    |      |         |-------------------
 -------     |       ---------                    |
             |           |                    - - - - -
        ------------     | MUX GPIO          |         |
       |            |    |                     Devices
       |    GPIO    |    |                   |         |
       | Expander 1 |----                     - - - - -
       |            |                             |
        ------------                              | SCL/SDA
                                                  |
                                             ------------
                                            |            |
                                            |    GPIO    |
                                            | Expander 2 |
                                            |            |
                                             ------------

The reason for lockdep warning is that we take the chip->i2c_lock in
pca953x_gpio_set_value() or pca953x_gpio_direction_output() and then
come right back to pca953x_gpio_set_value() when the GPIO mux kicks
in. The locks actually protect different expanders, but for lockdep
both are of the same class, so it says:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(&chip->i2c_lock);
   lock(&chip->i2c_lock);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

In order to get rid of the warning, retrieve the adapter nesting depth
and use it as lockdep subclass for chip->i2c_lock.
