(GXBB/GXL), including FIFO capture DAIs and an I2S data formatter widget.

[Severity: High]
Does binding the AUDIN formatter to gx_stream lead to sleeping in atomic and
softirq contexts during PCM trigger operations?
In audin_fifo_dai_probe(), polling_timer is set up with HRTIMER_MODE_REL_SOFT,
so audin_fifo_timer_cb() runs in softirq context and acquires
guard(pcm_stream_lock_irqsave)(substream). This requires substream->pcm->nonatomic
to be false, otherwise _snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave() would attempt to acquire
substream->self_group.mutex from softirq context.
However, with nonatomic set to false on the FE and BE substreams, PCM trigger
operations hold spin_lock_irqsave on the PCM stream locks (for example via
dpcm_be_dai_trigger()). This also occurs in softirq context when an XRUN is
detected:
audin_fifo_timer_cb()
-> snd_pcm_period_elapsed_under_stream_lock()
-> snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()
-> snd_pcm_stop()
-> dpcm_fe_dai_trigger()
-> dpcm_be_dai_trigger()
-> aiu_encoder_i2s_trigger()
-> gx_stream_stop()
Because audin_formatter_i2s_get_stream() attaches the AUDIN formatter to the
backend DAI's struct gx_stream, starting or stopping the capture stream calls
aiu_encoder_i2s_trigger() -> gx_stream_start() or gx_stream_stop(), both of
which acquire the sleeping mutex ts->lock:
sound/soc/meson/gx-formatter.c:gx_stream_start() {
mutex_lock(&ts->lock);
/* Start all the formatters attached to the stream */
list_for_each_entry(formatter, &ts->formatter_list, list) {
ret = gx_formatter_enable(formatter);
...
}
sound/soc/meson/gx-formatter.c:gx_stream_stop() {
mutex_lock(&ts->lock);
ts->ready = false;
/* Stop all the formatters attached to the stream */
list_for_each_entry(formatter, &ts->formatter_list, list) {
gx_formatter_disable(formatter);
}
mutex_unlock(&ts->lock);
}
Won't calling mutex_lock(&ts->lock) while holding the PCM stream spinlocks with
interrupts disabled (and from softirq context on XRUN) trigger a sleeping in
atomic context bug?
