This is a nice idea! Unfortunately though stopping the timer is only one of the spots that we can deadlock. There's another spot that we pretty much on= ly call once that needs the same behavior and isn't stopping the timer: impl HrTimerCallback for VblankTimer { type Pointer<'a> =3D Arc; =20 fn run( this: as RawHrTimerCallback>::CallbackTarget<= '_>, mut context: HrTimerCallbackContext<'_, Self>, ) -> HrTimerRestart where Self: Sized + HasHrTimer, { let mut vbl_state =3D this.crtc.vblank_state.lock(); =20 // Check if we're being asked to stop before continuing if vbl_state.cancelling { vbl_state.cancelling =3D false; return HrTimerRestart::NoRestart; } =20 let armed =3D vbl_state.armed.as_ref().expect("VBL state should = be armed by now"); =20 if let Some(ref timer) =3D vbl_state.timer { let frame_duration =3D Delta::from_nanos(armed.frame_duratio= n.into()); =20 let overrun =3D context.forward_now(frame_duration); if overrun !=3D 1 { dev_warn!( this.crtc.drm_dev().as_ref(), "vblank timer overrun (expected 1, got {overrun})\n" ); } } =20 // Indicate we're about to report the vblank, e.g. enable/disabl= e can't block on this timer vbl_state.reporting =3D true; =20 // Handle the vblank, dropping the vbl_state lock to prevent a c= ircular locking dependency vbl_state.do_unlocked(|| this.crtc.handle_vblank()); =20 vbl_state.reporting =3D false; =20 if vbl_state.cancelling { vbl_state.cancelling =3D false; HrTimerRestart::NoRestart } else { HrTimerRestart::Restart } } } We need to drop the lock here as well because handle_vblank() calls down to the driver's get_vblank_timestamp() implementation, which in this case also acquires the lock on this.crtc.vblank_state. Keep in mind, `handle_vblank()` is a binding for `drm_crtc_handle_vblank()`= , so we can't modify it to take a lock guard or something like that. I guess = if we really needed to we could add our own interface around handle_vblank() f= or rvkms, but that seems a bit less straight-forward to me. >=20 > > Since this seems like it's useful, let's export this for use by the res= t of > > the world and write short documentation for it. > >=20 > > Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul > >=20 > > --- > > V2: > > * Fix documentation for do_unlocked > > * Add an example > > V3: > > * Documentation changes from Miguel >=20 > Please wait a couple days before sending a new version, thanks! >=20 > > rust/kernel/sync/lock.rs | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- > > 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > >=20 > > diff --git a/rust/kernel/sync/lock.rs b/rust/kernel/sync/lock.rs > > index e82fa5be289c1..800cdd16dce6e 100644 > > --- a/rust/kernel/sync/lock.rs > > +++ b/rust/kernel/sync/lock.rs > > @@ -228,7 +228,40 @@ pub fn lock_ref(&self) -> &'a Lock { > > self.lock > > } > > =20 > > - pub(crate) fn do_unlocked(&mut self, cb: impl FnOnce() -> U) ->= U { > > + /// Releases this [`Guard`]'s lock temporarily, executes `cb` and = then re-acquires it. > > + /// > > + /// This can be useful for situations where you may need to do a t= emporary unlock dance to avoid > > + /// issues like circular locking dependencies. > > + /// > > + /// It returns the value returned by the closure. > > + /// > > + /// # Examples > > + /// > > + /// The following example shows how to use [`Guard::do_unlocked`] = to temporarily release a lock, > > + /// do some work, then re-lock it. >=20 > I would remove this sentence, as the example is pretty easy to follow > (at least at the moment). >=20 > > + /// > > + /// ``` > > + /// # use kernel::{new_spinlock, sync::lock::{Backend, Guard, Lock= }}; > > + /// # use pin_init::stack_pin_init; > > + /// fn assert_held(guard: &Guard<'_, T, B>, lock: &= Lock) { > > + /// // Address-equal means the same lock. > > + /// assert!(core::ptr::eq(guard.lock_ref(), lock)); > > + /// } > > + /// > > + /// stack_pin_init! { > > + /// let l =3D new_spinlock!(42) > > + /// } >=20 > I normally write >=20 > stack_pin_init!(let l =3D new_spinlock!(42)); >=20 > Or do you feel like that's less readable? >=20 > > + /// > > + /// let mut g =3D l.lock(); > > + /// let val =3D *g; > > + /// > > + /// // The lock will be released, but only temporarily > > + /// g.do_unlocked(|| assert_eq!(val, 42)); >=20 > I feel like this example doesn't show how `do_unlocked` is useful.
