Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pinctrl: ocelot: use a raw spinlock for the GPIO regmap
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 14:50:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109-ocelot-pinctrl-irqchip-fixes-v1-1-9d2d8fcd58f5@microchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109-ocelot-pinctrl-irqchip-fixes-v1-0-9d2d8fcd58f5@microchip.com>
The irq_chip callbacks .irq_mask, .irq_unmask and .irq_ack access the
GPIO regmap. genirq calls them with the raw spinlock irq_desc::lock
held, for example from irq_startup() in __setup_irq(). The regmap is
created with devm_regmap_init_mmio() and guarded by a spinlock_t, which
is a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and must not be taken under a raw
spinlock.
Make the GPIO regmap use a raw spinlock. Its accesses are short MMIO
reads and writes. The other regmaps of the driver are not used from the
irq_chip callbacks and are left unchanged.
The issue was found with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING on a lan9668
board (pcb8385), when a level low interrupt on one of its GPIOs is
requested, and was seen on lan969x when a PHY interrupt on a GPIO is
requested:

With the fix the report is gone on the lan9668 board.
