Subject: [patch] net, bcmgenet: Fix locking of netpoll facing functions
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 10:24:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bfb21521a33b8335216ec2523bc461583ea6f7a7.camel@gmx.de> (raw)
Lockdep reports ring->lock to not be irq safe during netpoll/netconsole
session, resulting in a potential deadlock scenario.
Chain exists of:
&host->lock --> target_list_lock --> &ring->lock
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&ring->lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&host->lock);
lock(target_list_lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&host->lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
Prevent that via use of irqsave/restore spinlock variant when polling.
