Subject: WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected: drm_client_dev_suspend() & radeon_suspend_kms()
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2025 16:43:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0a087cfd-bd4c-48f1-aa2f-4a3b12593935@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
I'm trying to debug a hibernation issue with the ath12k driver, but to
establish a baseline I started with Linus' current tree. I have the following
enabled in my .config:
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
As part of the baseline I observed the following:

This doesn't seem to be the cause of the ath12k issue I'm debugging,
but thought it worth mentioning since I only see one similar report
on lore, and that didn't have any apparent follow-up:
