Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] ath10k:  Fix deadlock when peer cannot be created.
Date: Fri,  1 Apr 2016 14:12:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459545132-11295-5-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1459545132-11295-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com>

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

We must not attempt to send WMI packets while holding the data-lock,
as it may deadlock:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi.c:1824
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 2878, name: wpa_supplicant

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
4.4.6+ #21 Tainted: G        W  O
---------------------------------------------
wpa_supplicant/2878 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0721511>] ath10k_wmi_tx_beacons_iter+0x26/0x11a [ath10k_core]

but task is already holding lock:
 (&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa070251b>] ath10k_peer_create+0x122/0x1ae [ath10k_core]

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock);
  lock(&(&ar->data_lock)->rlock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

4 locks held by wpa_supplicant/2878:
 #0:  (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff816493ca>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x14
