Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] irqchip/mips-gic: Fix recursive acquisition of gic_lock in gic_set_affinity()
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 16:25:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810-sync-gic-counters-v2-2-dfe8b2c376b0@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810-sync-gic-counters-v2-0-dfe8b2c376b0@bootlin.com>

Commit 322a90638768 ("irqchip/mips-gic: Multi-cluster support")
made gic_set_affinity() call gic_set_type() when an interrupt's
affinity is moved between clusters. gic_set_type() takes gic_lock with
raw_spin_lock_irqsave(), but gic_set_affinity() holds gic_lock at that
point, so the same raw spinlock is acquired twice, triggering a deadlock.

Split gic_set_type() into a gic_set_type_locked() helper that assumes
gic_lock is already held. gic_set_type() takes gic_lock and calls the
helper, and gic_set_affinity() calls gic_set_type_locked() directly,
since it already holds gic_lock.
