Subject: [PATCH 7/7] Revert "rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ"
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2021 14:42:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210912124214.81853-8-mat.jonczyk@o2.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210912124214.81853-1-mat.jonczyk@o2.pl>

Revert
commit 6950d046eb6e ("rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ")
and add a comment.

As described in a previous
commit 66e4f4a9cc38 ("rtc: cmos: Use spin_lock_irqsave() in cmos_interrupt()")
from February 2020:

        cmos_interrupt() isn't always called from hardirq context, so
        we must use spin_lock_irqsave() & co.

Indeed, cmos_interrupt() is called from cmos_check_wkalrm(), which is
called from cmos_resume() - apparently not in an interrupt context.

A later
commit 6950d046eb6e ("rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ")
did not take account of this and changed spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock().
This may cause a deadlock as quoted in the body of
commit 66e4f4a9cc38 ("rtc: cmos: Use spin_lock_irqsave() in cmos_interrupt()")
mentioned earlier.
