Subject: [RFC]mmc: fix dead lock issue when system entering S3
Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 15:53:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110517075352.GA3992@intel.com> (raw)

Hi all,
   I encountered a dead lock issue. Two threads try to claim host, unfortunately
   one thread needs to sync with the other. I encountered this issue with SD
   card when testing system entering S3. Does anybody encounter the same issue?

Environment:
1. without CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME operation
2. the SD card mounted

During system tried to enter S3, mmc_pm_notifier will be called first to remove
SD card. So calling sequence in SD remove thread is like this:
	mmc_claim_host
	bus_ops->remove
	....
	....
	mmc_cleanup_queue
	kthread_stop(mq->thread)
	...
	...

Mean while, mmc_cleanup_queue wakes up mq->thread, the calling sequence in mq->thread is
like this:
	mmc_queue_thread
	mq->issue_fn (mmc_blk_issue_rq)
	mmc_claim_host (dead lock)
	....
	....

Since mmc_claim_host is called in mq->thread (not SD remove thread) again,
unfortunately right now host is already claimed by SD remove thread which is
also waiting for mq->thread finished, so cause a dead lock here.

Move the mmc_claim_host(in mmc_pm_notifier) after bus_ops->remove can resolve
this dead lock. mmc_suspend_host() is using the same way to claim host.

Need to know your suggestions.
