Subject: [19/35] 6pack,mkiss: fix lock inconsistency
Date: Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:00:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110708230111.418939835@clark.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110708230122.GA18807@kroah.com>

2.6.33-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

commit 6e4e2f811bade330126d4029c88c831784a7efd9 upstream.

Lockdep found a locking inconsistency in the mkiss_close function:

> kernel: [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
> kernel: 2.6.39.1 #3
> kernel: ---------------------------------
> kernel: inconsistent {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} -> {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} usage.
> kernel: ax25ipd/2813 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:
> kernel: (disc_data_lock){+++?.-}, at: [<ffffffffa018552b>] mkiss_close+0x1b/0x90 [mkiss]
> kernel: {IN-SOFTIRQ-R} state was registered at:

The message hints that disc_data_lock is aquired with softirqs disabled,
but does not itself disable softirqs, which can in rare circumstances
lead to a deadlock.
The same problem is present in the 6pack driver, this patch fixes both
by using write_lock_bh instead of write_lock.
