Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] atm: solos-pci: Fix potential deadlock on &cli_queue_lock
Date: Thu,  5 Oct 2023 07:48:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231005074858.65082-1-dg573847474@gmail.com> (raw)

As &card->cli_queue_lock is acquired under softirq context along the
following call chain from solos_bh(), other acquisition of the same
lock inside process context should disable at least bh to avoid double
lock.

<deadlock #1>
console_show()
--> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_lock)
<interrupt>
   --> solos_bh()
   --> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_lock)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_irqsave()
on the card->cli_queue_lock under process context code consistently
to prevent the possible deadlock scenario.

Fixes: 9c54004ea717 ("atm: Driver for Solos PCI ADSL2+ card.")
