From cde37881e2e14590675d0acdfbad408300d9ca95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthias Kaehlcke Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2023 17:32:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] usb: misc: onboard_hub: Move 'attach' work to the driver Currently each onboard_hub platform device owns an 'attach' work, which is scheduled when the device probes. With this deadlocks have been reported on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ [1], which has nested onboard hubs. The flow of the deadlock is something like this (with the onboard_hub driver built as a module) [2]: - USB root hub is instantiated - core hub driver calls onboard_hub_create_pdevs(), which creates the 'raw' platform device for the 1st level hub - 1st level hub is probed by the core hub driver - core hub driver calls onboard_hub_create_pdevs(), which creates the 'raw' platform device for the 2nd level hub - onboard_hub platform driver is registered - platform device for 1st level hub is probed - schedules 'attach' work - platform device for 2nd level hub is probed - schedules 'attach' work - onboard_hub USB driver is registered - device (and parent) lock of hub is held while the device is re-probed with the onboard_hub driver - 'attach' work (running in another thread) calls driver_attach(), which blocks on one of the hub device locks - onboard_hub_destroy_pdevs() is called by the core hub driver when one of the hubs is detached - destroying the pdevs invokes onboard_hub_remove(), which waits for the 'attach' work to complete - waits forever, since the 'attach' work can't acquire the device lock Use a single work struct for the driver instead of having a work struct per onboard hub platform driver instance. With that it isn't necessary to cancel the work in onboard_hub_remove(), which fixes the deadlock. The work is only cancelled when the driver is unloaded.
