Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 3/5] tracing: Fix lock inversion in trace_event_enable_tgid_record()
Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2019 16:11:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191221211133.369572328@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20191221211106.338673631@goodmis.org

From: Prateek Sood <prsood@codeaurora.org>

       Task T2                             Task T3
trace_options_core_write()            subsystem_open()

 mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)           mutex_lock(event_mutex)

 set_tracer_flag()

   trace_event_enable_tgid_record()       mutex_lock(trace_types_lock)

    mutex_lock(event_mutex)

This gives a circular dependency deadlock between trace_types_lock and
event_mutex. To fix this invert the usage of trace_types_lock and
event_mutex in trace_options_core_write(). This keeps the sequence of
lock usage consistent.
